When families reach out to me to photograph their families for the third time I am so honored. Really, I am! It feels so special to watch a family grow. I’ve been taking Olivia’s photos for a few years now and to watch her growth has been such a pleasure. This sweet family of three usually brings along the paternal grandmother but this session they also brought along the maternal grandmother which was so incredibly special!

Spring in Boise, Idaho is a fantastic time for a photoshoot. After the cold dark winter there is nothing better than coming out of hibernation to the warm but still cool days with sun shining on your skin. You warm up a little and can peel back some layers. The grasses are turning green and the trees leaves are budding. The light is so bright and renewing. Everything is coming alive and you get to witness the beauty happening week by week.

Dry Creek Historical Society is one of my favorite locations in the late spring and summer. The trees are beautiful and the flowers are in bloom. It has a ton of diverse areas to use as locations from right by the old farm house and garden to the barn to ever green trees and so much more!

During spring I get a lot of questions from clients on what to wear for their family photoshoots. Trees are blooming, grasses are bright green and sometimes overgrown. There may also be lovely light purple wild flowers in June! Everything is coming alive and we don’t want our outfits competing with mother nature.

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.

Saying Goodbye to Boise! I met Carrie at the Little Gym back in the beginning of 2021. I had a newborn and was bringing Camryn to a combo ballet/gym class. Let’s just say I wasn’t getting out much!

Liz had booked me months prior to this session. We thought about fall family photos and then she switched to winter, thinking it would be fun to do a snowy session. Snow is a little difficult in that you’ve got to be ready on the fly! Also during winter kids tend to get sick more often…so we kept getting delayed.

On the side I work for Natalie Tromburg Photography as her associate photographer. One great aspect about this is we’re able to take photos for each other as trades. This is the second time I have taken her familys photos. Natalie wanted to celebrate her daughter, Eden turning one with a photoshoot at Edwards Greenhouse in Boise.
