I am an Idaho family and wedding photographer, here to sit in your front row and document the season of life you are in. Although I specialize in families, headshots, and weddings, I have a deep love for landscape and astrophotography. [email protected]

Sessions are by appointment only, and are typically booked three months in advance.

No one warned me that becoming a photographer meant I’d start whispering at my garden. 🌿✨

This is just how my brain works. Light does something magic and I cannot not notice it.✨

Also hi, this is why you hire me. 😂🤓

Two sessions. Two seasons. One senior year that flew by way too fast.

Watching her grow up through my lens this past year has been such a gift. 🤍

She didn’t find her person until later in life. And watching his face when he turned around and saw her — I nearly fell apart behind my camera.

That was a man who knew exactly how lucky he was.
Finding love later in life means you don’t take a single second for granted. And these two? They felt every single one.

No rushing. No boom boom boom from one thing to the next. Just two people who chose each other with their whole hearts and took an entire day to actually feel it. Every moment intentional. Every detail meaningful. Just… space.
Space to cry. Space to laugh. Space to dance on a forest road at sunset like nobody’s watching. Space is the kind of wedding I want to show up for. Not a checklist wedding.

It was one of the greatest honors of my career to be trusted with this day. And at the end of the night, my assistant and I sat together at the end of the dock — and I just welled up. Tears of pure gratitude that this is my life. That people trust me with the most sacred days of their lives. I don’t take that lightly. Not even a little.

To the bride’s family — thank you for trusting me with this. It meant everything. 🤍

Have you or someone you love found love later in life? Tell me in the comments.✨

Ten years ago, her mom booked a spring motherhood mini. She was the daughter in the frame.
Now I’m watching her hold a babe on her hip at the water’s edge, her oldest twirling in pink behind her, and it hits me every single time — this is the gift. Not the photos. The witnessing.

Watching families become. Watching the toddler years soften into the big-kid years. Watching the girls I once photographed become the mamas stepping in front of my camera now.

Mama — this is your sign.
🌿 Spring Sessions are OPEN 🌿
Sunday, May 3rd — AM & PM mini sessions
Saturday, May 9th — PM mini sessions (yes, the day before Mother’s Day — bring the mamas in town, make it the gift)
I do have a few spots opened up for May as well!

Idaho gives us a tiny window where the foothills are green, wildflowers are poppin, the light is soft, and everything feels alive. Then it’s gone. I want your family in it.

If you prefer a full session they include the whole golden hour, your gallery of stunning images, and wall art guidance because these deserve to live bigger than your phone.

Spots are limited and going fast. Comment MAMA or send me a DM and I’ll get you the details before these dates fill.

Because one day the babe on your hip is the one twirling in pink. And one day she’s the mama booking her own session. You don’t get these springs back. 🤍

There's a window… maybe two weeks, maybe three… where the foothills go this impossible green and the wildflowers show up like they've been waiting all year. 🌾

Spring mini sessions are opening soon, and this is the session that made me want to tell you.

Close to Mother's Day. Just long enough to be real, short enough to fit real life. The kind of images that become the frame on your nightstand, the print you text your sister, the card you forget to mail but keep anyway.

Not about perfect smiles or everyone-looking-at-the-camera. About the way your hand finds the back of their head without thinking. About baby feet in long grass. About laughing so hard they throw their head back.

And if your kids are older? This still matters. Maybe more. You are their legacy. These are the images they'll want someday… the ones they'll frame, look at on the hard days, hands down.

And if they're grown? It's not too late. Your legacy with them and these sweet moments are still worth remembering. They always will be.

✨ My newsletter crew books first. They always do.

Link in about tab to join… you'll get the date, pricing, and booking link before anyone else sees it.

Idaho mamas, let's make something your people will keep forever.

Taylor.🤍
l've known this girl since she was LITTLE. And getting to be the one who photographs her senior year? I don't take that lightly.

There's something that happens when you watch a kid grow up - when you see who they were and then get to witness who they're becoming. Taylor has always had this light about her. But watching her step in front of my camera as this confident, beautiful, herself human being? I'm not gonna lie, it got me.

This session was so her - the desert, the dirt bike, the vintage truck, her dog losing his mind in the back (absolutely iconic), her boyfriend by her side at sunset. We built this session around her life, her world, the things that make Taylor Taylor. And that's exactly the kind of senior portraits I believe every girl deserves.

Not just pretty pictures. Your pictures ✨

To the seniors + parents reading this: Your senior year goes fast. Like, sooooo fast. And I want you to have photos that actually look like you - not a version of you that fits some cookie-cutter pose on someone else's location.

Tell me your thing. The truck, the horse, the sport, the band, the mountain. Let's build something around who you are.

seniors, I'd love to work with you.

Every trip I took this year meant someone trusted me with their story…. sometimes again.

Returning clients. New faces. New chapters layered onto old ones. And those who chose to live with my work on their walls.

I photographed couples, families, brands, wide-open landscapes, and night skies—quiet moments and loud joy alike. At the heart of it all was trust built over time.

Here’s a year of stories that mattered more than metrics. Thank you for choosing my work—again and again. I’m forever grateful!!

Shooting stars. No moon. Just layers and layers of sky.

Who knew that same moment could end up bringing so much quiet joy to everyday mornings.
Heat it up, and the night comes back. ✨
A reminder that wonder doesn’t disappear — it just shows up in new ways.

Available in my shop. Shipping times may vary.

A big thank you to my sweet friend Katie for this video!
