Hi, come in. This is where I share the full stories behind the sessions, and if you read enough of them, you'll start to notice something: a lot of the same names keep showing up. Engagements turn into weddings turn into maternity sessions turn into family photos with three kids and a dog. After fifteen years of this work, my favorite thing is that I rarely get to say goodbye to anyone. I just get to see them again in a new chapter. These are those chapters.

Dreamy Boise Couples Boudoir Session at 26th Street Studio
Some shoots happen outside with big skies and golden hour light. And then there are the ones where you pull the curtains back in a beautiful Boise Airbnb studio, let the natural light pour in over white linen and a canopy bed, and just let two people be exactly who they are together. Stella and Nathaniel's session at 26th Street Studio was the second kind — and honestly, some of my favorite work I've ever made.
Linh & Elliott | A Surprise Proposal at a Dog Park in Eagle, Idaho
The plan was simple: a normal dog walk, a hidden photographer, a perfect proposal. The only problem was that Linh is a little stubborn, and Elliott couldn't convince her to walk to where I was waiting. So he carried her. I am not making this up. Two dogs, one determined man, one very suspicious woman mid-air — and then one of the best proposals I've ever had the privilege of hiding in the bushes to photograph.
Linh & Elliott | A Forest Engagement Session Outside of Boise, Idaho
Linh and Elliott brought Remy — their golden retriever — to their engagement session in the forest outside Boise, and honestly, Remy nearly stole the whole thing. Nearly. These two are the kind of couple who are completely comfortable being adored by a camera, and the ponderosa pines gave us a moody, beautiful backdrop to work with. This was before Vietnam. Before the wedding of a lifetime. But first, the forest.
Golden Hour, a Golden Retriever, and Two People Completely in Love: Boise Foothills Couples Shoot
Tessa — talented voice actress at tessanie.com, natural in front of a camera, and one of my favorite people I met during my years living in Boise — brought her husband Scott and their golden Abbey out to the Boise Foothills for one of the most joyful sessions I've ever photographed.
Bubble Exit & Navy Blues | Chelsi & Codey's Still Water Hollow Wedding
Chelsi and Codey chose the breathtaking grounds of Still Water Hollow in Boise, Idaho for their wedding day — and every detail told a love story worth remembering. Codey stood tall in his Navy dress blues beside a 125-year-old white chapel, while Chelsi's red-laced corset gown and stunning plus size silhouette stopped everyone in their tracks. From their quiet first look among the weathered wood walls to a joyful bubble exit surrounded by every person they love, this was a wedding full of feeling. As their Idaho wedding photographer, I was honored to capture every single second of it.
Urban Family Session in Boise, Idaho | Murals & Golden Light
Kimmy, Keaton, and their daughter Poppy wandered through downtown Boise for an evening family session full of murals, brick walls, golden light, and a toddler who spent most of the time swinging between her parents' arms with her feet off the ground and a grin that could stop traffic. This is what a good family session looks like — relaxed, real, and a little bit chaotic in the best possible way.
A Snowy Cabin Wedding in Cascade, Idaho | Justin & Brianna
Justin and Brianna got married on a snow-covered cabin porch in Cascade, Idaho, surrounded by snow-heavy pines, their closest family, and their border collie — who served as ring bearer and took the job very seriously. The ceremony was intimate and full of laughter, the bouquet was simple and perfect, and afterward they posed between two snowmobiles with a Just Married banner in the snow. A winter mountain wedding that was completely, entirely them.
A Winery Wedding at Indian Creek | Kuna, Idaho
A stunning second-generation winery outside Boise, dahlias in every direction, two incredibly creative people completely in their element — and a Pulp Fiction first dance. Misty and Hudson's wedding at Indian Creek Winery was one of those days that reminded me exactly why I love this work.
Just the Two of Them (and a Really Cute Toddler) — Nate & Caitlan's Backyard Wedding in Nampa, Idaho
Some weddings are grand productions. And then there are weddings like Nate and Caitlan's — the kind where nobody's trying to impress anyone, where the kids are running barefoot in the grass, where the vows are real and the laughter is louder than any playlist. This one was all heart.
Cozy in Treasure Valley — Kimmy, Keaton, Poppy & Milo's In-Home Session in Nampa, Idaho
Some sessions you walk into and immediately feel it — that lived-in, loved-in warmth that no studio could ever replicate. Kimmy and Keaton's home in Nampa was exactly that. Two kids, a gallery wall full of memories already made, and a baby named Milo with the kind of smile that makes everyone in the room completely lose it.
Dasha and Cameron: An Apple Orchard Family Session in Idaho
