A surprise for her husband and senior portraits while we were at it! Okay, I know a lot of guys would not like the surprise of family portraits but when your oldest son, daughter in law and grand baby you have not met will be in town, all of this is a time to celebrate […]

One of my favorite backdrops…a winter wonderland!! It was time to update family portraits for the beautiful McCarthy family. Their son was home for the holidays and so we worked together to get outfits figured out and all willing for a little adventure to the snow. It really isn’t that cold to do snow pictures. […]

It worked! Families from all over Idaho met up for a little reunion at this beautiful location. We captured the entire family together, individual families, cousins, siblings, and of course the two who started it all! Pretty amazing if you ask me! I have had Monica and her family in front of my camera for […]

I have had the honor of photographing these kiddos at our annual Little Heroes Santa Fundraiser event for many years. I finally got to have the whole family in front of my camera and we got such beautiful and fun results! We did most of their images in Freak Ally and I’m LOVING the look […]

This first image is so sweet…it looks like big sis is showing little sis something fun! “Hey sis, let’s go jump on the trampoline.” “Let’s go pick that pretty flower.” With two little girls myself (well, not so little anymore), all the memories flood back from when they were this little! It also makes me […]

Look at this handsome fella! Dechaun has a heart of gold and I am honored to take his senior portraits throughout his senior year! This kid has donated to Little Heroes all on his own, works hard, plays hard and is the biggest help to his beautiful mama! We played around downtown and a few […]

Gracyn’s Story Written by mom…I’ll give a little back story on my pregnancy first. Gracyn’s story starts with us finding out we were expecting our 4th child around 7 weeks along. The throwing up gave it away but this time it was the worst it ever has been. I lost 10 lbs before my first […]

Let’s go on an adventure! I mean, that is a possibility when working with me. You are guaranteed to get dirty, wet, cold, hot, or all of the above! I am passionate and I love to explore! This family was perfect for my adventurous heart! They are a family that loves to dance and they […]
