Family Photo sessions in boise that feel easy & relaxed

(yes, dad too)

As a busy parent, you know want portraits of your family that feel fun, relaxed, and genuine, but the thought of planning, styling, and wrangling everyone into a session can feel overwhelming. I see you, and I’m here to help make this effortless.

From helping you choose outfits that feel like you to guiding you through every step, my goal is to make the entire process stress-free. Sessions are connection-filled and never stiff — so even the busiest kids (and yes, even dad!) will have a good time.

Our signature Full-Service portrait experience

Detailed Planning

Once you've reserved your session we'll meet to talk about your vision for your session and artwork, and figure out wardrobe and location details. Booking your session early is suggested for peace of mind.

Connection-filled Session

Whether we're in my light-filled studio or outside on-location in the Boise area, I’ll help you feel natural, relaxed, and confident in front of the camera. You just love on your people and I’ll take care of the rest. 

Artwork you love

You'll receive my guidance as we select the images that speak most to your heart. Whether you choose an heirloom album, a gallery wall, or a blend of printed and digital images, you’ll leave with artwork made to last.

Let's plan your session

Family Focused Direction

No “say cheese,” no stiff shoulders, no fake smiles. We’re not here for that. I’ll lead you through simple prompts and playful direction that feels effortless. Tickling the kids, whispering secrets, sneaking kisses ... it’s about capturing who you are, not forcing who you’re not. Every image ends up feeling like a memory.

No Awkward “Stand Here and Smile” Moments 

You don’t need another set of stiff photos where everyone looks like they’re held hostage. Yes, we will absolutely get a few photos with everyone looking at the camera. But, with me, it’s not about posing for the sake of a picture — it’s about actually living in the moment. I’ll guide you so it feels natural, fun, and (dare I say) easy. The result? Photos that look like you, not strangers in matching outfits.

Connection Over Perfection

Forget the checklist of “stand here, tilt your head, fake laugh.” That’s not what we do here. My job is to get you interacting with your people. Laughing, snuggling, chasing, whatever feels like you ... so the real connections come through. No awkwardness, no pretending. Just actual moments that tell your story.

"She made what we thought would be stressful into a very relaxing & fun experience."

Around here, family photos aren’t about stiff poses or forced smiles. They’re about the giggles, the goofy faces, the in-between moments, and the love that makes your family yours.

about family photo sessions in Boise

Frequently asked questions

01. Where are you located?

My studio is on the Boise Bench at 1524 S. Vista Ave., Ste 1, in the Historic Hoppie Building. I also photograph on-location throughout Boise, Eagle, Meridian, and the Treasure Valley.

02. when should we book our family Photo session?

Fall is my busiest season — the weather's perfect and you'll have images ready for holiday cards. Spring and summer are gorgeous too, with long golden-hour evenings.
I recommend booking 3-4 months ahead for fall, or 1-2 months for other seasons.


03. what should we wear for family portraits?

I know finding clothes for your family photography session is stressful. I'll assist with color selection and wardrobe styling to coordinate with your home decor. Our personal stylist is available to create shoppable wardrobe options for you.  

04. How long does a family session take?

Most sessions run about an hour — plenty of time for different groupings, outfit changes if you'd like, and a mix of posed and candid moments. Extended family sessions may need a bit more time.

05. do you know some family-friendly locations in Boise?

I've been photographing Boise families for nearly two decades and have an extensive list of locations available for your session. We will discuss what your portrait goals are, if there are any locations important to your family, take into account your home decor style, and make our final selection based on those factors.

Some popular locations in Boise are: The Boise Depot, Kathryn Albertson Park, The Boise Greenbelt, Downtown

06. What if it rains?

We'll keep an eye on the weather and reschedule if needed. I also have a beautiful studio that works great as a backup option.

07. Can extended family members be included?

Yes of course! The more the merrier! I love to photograph the entire family and have several favorite locations that work well for this type of session. Please reach out to us by email or text and we can go over extended family session options with you.

08. Can we bring our dog?

Yes please! Furry friends are part of the family and should be included in your family session. We would like to discuss the options with you prior to your session, as some locations do not allow dogs and we like to make sure your dog is the right temperament for a photo session.

09. What if my kids don't behave?

Please don't stress about your kids "behaving." I love kids of all ages, and my favorite thing is capturing your family as you really are. I've photographed thousands of families and always get beautiful, genuine images. I keep sessions fun and efficient so no one gets worn out.

10. Do you photograph couples without kids?

Absolutely! Couples sessions, anniversary portraits, and empty-nester photos are some of my favorites. Your family doesn't have to include kids to deserve beautiful portraits.
