I gained this beautiful family from a referral of another local photographer! If that isn’t a compliment, I don’t know what is! They get their family portraits updated every year but this year was a little different…they have a senior! We were able to get some senior portraits and family portraits all at the same time!

Kai and Sami are on the Boise High Mountain Bike Team so I get to see them more than just once a year for family portraits. Of course this year was different and didn’t happen. They have both improved so much and they are both a pleasure to be on the trails with. I’m hoping for Sami’s senior year next year that we get a mountain bike season. It’s an incredible program for 6th-12th grade, all races are on different mountains in Idaho and everyone is camping! It is the coolest event and so organized.

You can sure see their personalities in these images. They are silly and kind and we always have a good time. Our first attempt in the snow was up at Bogus the week prior to this session and it was so windy and cold we rescheduled to my favorite snow picture location. It was worth it!

I’m not sure what season Sami will choose next year for her senior portraits and of course a few family shots but I do look forward to it!

Yay! I can finally share their family images! First of all, best Christmas present ever…gifting updated family portraits but man it’s hard for me to be patient and wait to share until after the holidays!

Do you know this fun crew? They really are fun and funny! Jenni is hilarious. I love her social media posts. Always makes me laugh. Her daily humor should win an award, no really!!

I have had the pleasure of working with Byron for two of his “Season Senior” sessions. We snuck in some family shots at his fall session. I always recommend updating family pictures at senior sessions. Who knows when you will all be together again after your senior graduates.

As you can see, their dog fits right in. I’m sure he thinks he is a “hooman”. Not a bad dog to have. Animal lovers really do spoil their animals but as my husband reminds me, our animals spoil us! True!

We have a few more sessions and then graduation. So many emotions with this chapter in life. I have a senior as well so I know all the feels Jenni and Josh are feeling. Proud and sad! Slow. Down. Time.

Do you have a senior that still needs senior portraits? I’m happy to help. I have very, very simple options in the studio and/or studio yard (to make mom happy) to a few of your seniors favorite locations. Let’s make a plan!

Thank you, Jordan family!

This beautiful family was referred to me by another photographer years ago. I sure love working with them. They are fun, kind, outgoing and willing to try just about any idea.

This year we recreated a few shots from years ago. I have to say recreating photos has been one of my favorite things to do recently! It brings up some good belly laughs!

Love this little family! We have always done their pictures in the fall but we have agreed to try some snow next year. I can’t wait for the to have their first snow session!

I do suggest you update your family portraits in different seasons. The beautiful part of Idaho is having four seasons and all are amazing in their own way.

What is your favorite season? 👙🍁❄️🌳
