Lifestyle Family Photographer
less posing, more presence.
I don’t believe in forced smiles or perfectly coordinated outfits. My lifestyle family photography sessions focus on real connection and honest moments, creating space for your family’s personalities to unfold naturally.
These are the images you’ll come back to years from now, when the house feels quieter and the seasons of life have shifted. I photograph families as they truly are: playful, chaotic, soft, connected, and fully alive, with imagery designed to feel timeless and emotionally grounded.
Above all, my goal is to help your family feel comfortable. Whether we’re photographing your family at home or outdoors, the experience is calm, natural, and stress-free. Your home doesn’t need to be perfect, and your outfits don’t need to match. This is family photography rooted in real life, captured with intention and care.
Based in Idaho and available for family sessions in Boise and surrounding areas.
OFFERINGS
Story Session
(Two Hours)
Story Sessions are up to two-hour, in-home or on-location sessions designed to document a meaningful slice of your life. These often take place at home, but we can also meet in a location that feels significant to you.
They’re ideal for newborn days, milestones, or simply preserving everyday moments as they are right now. Think of these as a more concise version of my Day in the Life sessions, focused on capturing connection, presence, and the quiet beauty already woven into your days.
Story Sessions include 50+ edited images delivered in a private online gallery and are available for couples, families, maternity, or intimate portraits.

Step 1: Planning
Before your session, we’ll connect briefly to talk through what you’re hoping to document and choose a location that feels natural and comfortable. This helps ensure the session reflects your real life.Step 2: The Session
We’ll spend up to two hours together, moving at an easy, unhurried pace. I’ll guide gently when needed, but most of the session is led by natural interaction and whatever unfolds in the moment.These sessions are about presence. Whether that looks like slow mornings, quiet connection, or playful energy, I’m there to observe and document what feels true to you.
Step 3: Gallery Delivery
After the session, I carefully review and edit the strongest images. Within two weeks, you’ll receive a private online gallery with 50+ thoughtfully edited photos available for download. Prints can also be ordered directly through the gallery.Story Sessions are designed to preserve a chapter, not a highlight reel. A simple, meaningful way to remember this season exactly as it was.

What a family session with me looks like
Family sessions are designed to feel easy and unrushed. We’ll choose a location that feels meaningful or familiar, and I’ll help you prepare ahead of time so you don’t have to overthink anything.
During the session, I’ll offer light guidance and prompts that encourage connection while leaving room for spontaneity. Kids are welcome to be kids. Parents don’t need to perform. The focus is on creating space for real interaction.
Day in the Life Session
Day in the life Session (Most Popular)
A 6-10 hour in-home or on-location session
(For families who want more than a Christmas card photo)
This is the slow, sacred unfolding of your everyday routine with a luxurious amount of time that allows your personalities to come out. This is how I capture the in-between moments that no one thinks to photograph, but that hold all the meaning you could ever imagine captured.
When your family has time to settle in, and I have time to observe, that’s when the real magic happens. It’s about capturing your family’s rhythm, connection, and story as it actually is.
FAQ

Step 1: Planning Call
Before the session, we’ll have a planning call where we can talk through ideas, routines, or activities that feel meaningful to your family. This is a chance to shape the day in a way that feels natural and true to you, whether we’re documenting life at home or time away, so the session reflects your real experience, not a version of it.Step 2: The Session
Day in the Life sessions are intentionally unstructured. We’ll spend 6–10 hours together, either in your home, in familiar spaces, or while you’re traveling, documenting a day as it naturally unfolds.When I arrive, I take time to settle in and observe your family’s rhythm. There’s no pressure to perform or plan moments for the camera. Kids lead, parents move through the day as they normally would, and I quietly document what happens. With time on our side, everyone relaxes and the meaningful moments surface on their own.
I’ll gently guide only when it supports the story. Otherwise, I let things unfold. Ordinary routines, transitions, pauses, and connection are exactly what I’m looking for.
We’ll wrap when the day feels complete, whether that’s after dinner, sunset, bedtime routines, or when the energy naturally winds down.
Step 3: Gallery + Album Delivery
After the session, I carefully review the images and select the strongest moments from the day. Within two weeks, you’ll receive an online gallery with a thoughtfully edited collection of images that tell the story of your family, at home or away, exactly as it was lived. From there, you can download your photos and order additional prints or albums directly through the gallery.Each Day in the Life session also includes a beautifully designed Story of the Day coffee table album, created to preserve the full narrative of your day in a tangible, lasting way. You’ll have the chance to select your favorite photos before I design the album.

Play Session (child led)
Let’s capture their childhood before it quietly moves on.
Childhood moves fast. One day it’s gap-toothed smiles, pockets full of treasures, and outfits chosen with total confidence. Then one day you wake up and everything has changed. Childhood is made up of short-lived chapters. The quirks, the fixations, the way they move through the world right now won’t last forever. These sessions are all about capturing childhood the way they see it. They’re about holding onto who they are right now, before the next version arrives. Because tomorrow they’ll grow again and today is worth remembering.
-
These sessions follow your kids’ lead. The focus is on documenting childhood as it actually looks and feels, capturing their energy, curiosity, and personalities as they unfold naturally. Because of that, we’ll choose a location where they already feel at ease. Most often that’s your home or a familiar outdoor space.
When I arrive, I take a few minutes to connect with your kids, getting to know them, asking about their favorite things, and easing into the session at their pace. From there, everything flows naturally.
No need to worry about wild energy or unpredictable moments. I’ve worked with kids long enough to know that all of it is part of the story. Snacks are always welcome and often helpful.
I’ll step in with gentle direction when it’s needed, but for the most part, you’re free to simply be present and interact with your kids the way you always do. These images center on them, with parents naturally included as things unfold.
We’ll wrap up once your child makes it clear they’re finished for the day.
After our session, I carefully review the images and select the strongest moments. Within two weeks, you’ll receive an online gallery with 50+ edited photos available for download. Prints and albums can be ordered directly through the gallery. The hardest part will be choosing which ones to put on your walls.
