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)! It’s definitely an investment because these sessions typically run more than a traditional headshot shoot. Because the images you’re using help to sell your products and services you are issued a commercial license to use […]

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 […]

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 […]

I’ve coined myself as a Portrait and Lifestyle Photographer. I like to blend the two styles because every client’s comfort level is different and every client’s needs or desires of how to be captured varies. But what exactly is the difference between the two? Well Portrait photographers focus more on capturing the subject through various […]

I can always tell right off the bat if I’m going to “click” with someone (yes-pun intended). It’s an intuitive gift passed down from my mom’s side of the family that has steered me right in life. Some personalities will get along better than others. But not every client has to become my BFF for […]

I love shooting at locations that can offer a variety of looks. Like this one shown here with its small historic homes turned into quaint coffee houses and restaurants aligning the local train depot…it offers a variety of  different looks and darling niches for photos. From gorgeous succulents, to cute benches, train station with caboose, […]
