Family Night at the Skatepark | Boise, ID Family Photographer

In between the intense stares studying every move of the “big kids”, I captured a few golden moments of boyhood and brotherhood at the skatepark as we wrapped up our Spring Break stay-cation here in Idaho. Leo requested a stop at Balsamic (also known as Sonic) on the way home and we all indulged in pretzels, tots and blasts. We threw GUTS (yes that Nickelodeon GUTS) on the TV for a family show and thanks to Google, I found out you can buy a piece of the Aggro Crag trophy! Christmas gift idea anyone? This pandemic life may not be this most exciting, but it is still precious time spent.

Mustangs at the Drive-In.

I was driving Leo home from school when we saw a car show happening at Westside Drive-In. I thought that might be fun for the boys, so we picked up Dad and off we went. I was right, although I'm not sure if they loved the cheeseburger or classic Mustangs more. Either way, we will call it a win-win. The randomly perfect Tuesday night. 

Belmont Barbershop

A reminder of why this project is so important to me. I've felt in a bit of a photographer rut lately (I'll blame it on the pregnancy hormones) and when I stepped into the Belmont Barbershop I immediately became flooded with inspiration. Leo loves going to the "baabor" with Dada and is the best little boy. And now I have at least a few of these fleeting moments documented. @belmont_barbershop is fantastic and his shop is the coolest, go check him out! 

Our Day in The Grand Tetons

A personal blog post. A peek into our lives as we traveled over to Island Park, ID. I made this trip almost every summer growing up, and I hope to do the same as our family grows. This last fall, we were able to cross over into Grand Teton National Park (through Yellowstone) and it did not disappoint. It was an unusually warm autumn day and the colors were unreal. My heart is full looking back on these images and we feel grateful as a family to have had this experience. 

Maternity and Newborn Photographer in Boise, ID | Theodore | Part 2

Theodore has arrived! I got to know Theodore’s parents, Joe + Ashley, through the mini announcement + maternity sessions, included in the Bump to Babes package. We created some beautiful images (see them here!) and I couldn’t wait to receive the call and see them again - this time as parents! Their newborn session is one of my favorite sessions to date. Their smiles could not be any bigger and their hearts not any fuller. 

Welcome to the world, little one.

Maternity and Newborn Photographer in Boise, ID | Theodore | Part 1

Welcome! I’m happy you’re here. This website is a showcase of my work, my passion, my ability and my perspective. I am a documentary storyteller, and I capture the moments that make life beautiful. A lot of energy has been put into representing my vision and versatility. Everyone has a unique journey full of emotion and adventure. I would love to get to know you and be the one to capture those fleeting moments that come together to tell YOUR story.

So for now, meet Joe + Ashley. Ashley contacted me about the Bump to Babes package and it has been a dream to work with them and get to know them better as they became parents and welcomed sweet Theodore into this world. As I stepped into their beautiful home for the announcement mini session, I could feel the excitement and anticipation filling up the room.

It was a perfect spring day when we met again for the maternity session. Rain clouds moved off in the distance as the evening sun began to peek through creating a beautiful rainbow. Our time spent together was so fun. I observed with a smile as they built memories of last moments being just a pair. Their love for one another was undeniable.
