Welcome TO

I love this little hidden location at Eagle Island in Eagle, ID. These deserted barn houses make for the perfect texture and rustic feel for a family session! Most don’t even know they exist…especially if you’re newer to the area. But I’ve shot here a handful of times and every time it delivers! I like […]

It’s pretty cold this time of year here in Idaho…so this family’s was smart to bundle up and use lots of layers to stay nice and warm. Since I typically shoot just before sunset, the temperatures tend to drop significantly then. Which can cause younger kiddos to complain and lose interest in the session quick. […]

It’s probably the most beautiful season here in the Treasure Valley! Every tree is full of vivid color and it offers a perfect backdrop for a family photo session. The most popular location during this time of year in my opinion is definitely the Kathryn Albertson’s Park in Boise, Id. Not only does it offer […]

Not every session needs to be outdoors or done in a professional studio to be great! But there are some things to consider if you do decide to use your home. While every outdoor location isn’t treated equally {especially when it comes to lighting, space and beauty}….not every indoor location like your home is either. […]

I think every small business, entrepreneur selling in the online space or influencer needs Personal Branding Photography (that includes me)!

In all the years I’ve personally used a Professional Photographer, not one has really taken the time to get to know about me or my family before photographing all of us. I also admit this wasn’t my practice when I first started out either. But it dawned on me…how am I going to truly connect […]

I would like to start off by saying Candid Photography is not for everyone! So if your preference is to stand still and smile pretty at the camera…then a candid approach may not be for you. To be candid (yes pun intended!) it takes the right type of client to be comfortable enough in front […]

Okay Seniors! Let’s talk real talk…..Nowadays it’s all about having awesome stand out photos of yourself! So  it’s more important than ever to know what to expect for your Senior Session with your Photographer! It’s not just about the outfit selection or hair and makeup! There’s a few other factors to consider…so read on! Location: […]

I always love the start of a new year! With it brings another 365 days to do some pretty amazing things with your life! For some it’s all about purging; letting go, clearing out, getting rid of things and people that no longer serve them. For others it’s chasing their goals, dreams and taking hold […]

Every so often I hold Model Calls at less busy times of the year. In part for various projects I may be working on and sometimes, just to update my Portfolio with a different Photography style or family look. Earlier this year I was collaborating with a Videographer for a personal project and needed a […]
