Newborn photos are some of my absolute favorite photo sessions. It’s such a vulnerable time in a family’s timeline. Mama could still be recovering, everyone might be sleep deprived, or maybe siblings are having a harder time adjusting than you expected.

This is one of those rare sessions where it was the absolute perfect weather. Beginning of summer with the best temps! It was so comfortable. We started lower at Military Reserve in Boise, Idaho. This is a very easy spot to get to and convienetly located to downtown.

Family spring sessions are probably my favorite time of year for photoshoots. It’s not too hot, the days can be warm, and you get your photos back quicker than in the fall. While fall has beautiful colors and usually some nice weather too I just love the freshness of spring. New grass growth, the leaves have finally come back on trees and the air just smell fresh and full of life.

After I took photos for Natalie Tromburg of her family at Edwards Greenhouse in Boise I was so excited to get my own kids down there. My mother-in-law was coming to town for a visit. I asked her to bring some clothes that she would like to be photographed in.

I find that with most session I do, I return home and say “that is my favorite type of session!”. I really do love being invited into families homes and documenting such a precious time. Having a newborn in your home really lasts for such a short period of time. It’s really important to actually document it.
