BOISE-BASED PHOTOGRAPHER
OF CHILDHOOD & THE BEAUTY OF DAY TO DAY LIFE
“… allow me to offer you some advice. Take a thousand pictures of yourself now. You may currently think, "Oh, I'm too spooky." But believe me, one day you will look at those photos, with much kinder eyes and say, "Dear God, I was a beautiful thing!"

I can’t tell you how many times I have shown up to a shoot and the first words out of the parents mouths is some variation of “I’m not sure how well this is going to go.” I get it! Taking your littles out in public somedays can feel like a project by itself, but taking them out and keeping them picture ready? That is something that requires next level patience, surveillance, and multi-tasking. But I am here to tell you that I don’t expect anything from your children, except that they be children! So it’s okay if they want to pretend that they’re a tiger or if they need a little snack to power up between poses (being a kid requires a lot of energy and snacks are a must I get it)! Let them pretend that the floor is lava or take the extra five minutes to let them stop and smell the flowers! They’re only little for a little while and it’s so much fun to embrace who they are right now in this moment. So don’t be surprised if in order to get the shot we have a dance party, discuss the tastiest foods, or have a conversation about who would win if Batman and a T-Rex got in a fight. I am here for all of it!

I service most of the Treasure Valley including Boise, Meridian, Eagle, Nampa, Kuna, Caldwell, Middleton, + Star. I am willing to travel with an additional travel cost.

I enjoy all session types but documenting babies and children holds an extra special place in my heart. I specialize in Childhood Photography. I also offer maternity, newborn, + cake smash (or milestone) sessions.

My turnaround time is 3 weeks.

YES! I do ask that you let me know ahead of time so I can ensure that the location I book (Outdoor or Studio) allows your pup to be there.

I do not give out raw files to anyone. I am an artist and I have a process that includes many steps therefore raw images are not an accurate portrayal of my work. It would be like hiring someone to paint your home and then trying to imagine what it would look like when it is covered in primer. The raw images are just the primer and they still need to be painted before they are complete.

This is the most common question I get so if you’re not sure where to start you are in good company. Unfortunately there is no short and easy answer to this question. Fortunately I send all of my clients a style guide after they book their session. The style guide allows me to send you unique ideas based on the season and location of your session. Don’t let not knowing what to wear stop you from booking! We will work together to find you the perfect look without breaking the bank or breaking a sweat!
