photographs you'll treasure for a lifetime
As far back as I can remember, the most important thing in my life has always been family. First, as the oldest of four daughters. Now, as a wife and mother to four of my own. The people who fill my life are what make it so wonderfully worth living.
As a mother, I know the memories you're hoping to bottle up, because I've tried to store them all too: the magic of welcoming a brand new human to the family, the way my baby's chubby legs fit perfectly on my hip, my toddler's long lashes hiding endless mischief. And these days, the transition from child to teen — familiar features maturing at lightspeed, and the remaining years at home far fewer than the ones we've already spent.
The phrase family photography often connotes hectic sessions, cranky children, cheesy poses, and an item to check off the annual to-do list. But for those of us who treasure family, it can be so, so much more: a celebration of those who will hold our hearts for as long as we live.
When I photograph families, I'm photographing love. I'm documenting the building of a legacy. I'm celebrating the humans who are your entire world.
It's an honor to create artwork with you and your favorite people, and to show each family I work with what family photography is truly meant to be.
Hannah completely exceeded our expectations! These are by far the best images we’ve ever had taken of our family.

my mission
Since founding my business in 2014, I have relentlessly honed both my craft and the experience I create for each of my clients.
My commitment is to always deliver industry-leading artistry and quality. Every penny you invest with me will increase in value each year, as your memories grow foggy, yet your photographs remain daily reminders of the most incredible moments you'll ever live.
In addition to my time behind the camera, I am also an educator with a mission to elevate the family photography industry. I offer a suite of educational guides and courses, designed to serve photographers of all stages. I also have the privilege of running a coaching program for photographers who crave major transformation. I am particularly passionate about empowering working mothers and female creative business owners, and equipping them with the skills they need to run a thriving business while serving their clients beautifully. I have watched one student after another transform her business, excel in her artistry, achieve a sustainable income, and forever leave behind the hustle for something so much better.
I don't take a moment of any of this for granted. It is truly my passion, my joy, and my honor to celebrate and change lives through photography. I am forever grateful for the twisting paths that led me here.
GET TO KNOW ME
I have four kids. It's wonderfully wild.
With two boys and two girls, spanning elementary to high school, our house is lively to say the least. So many personalities, interests, and opinions — and just as much love. And this means your wild ones won't faze me in the slightest! I'm a master at creating beauty no matter the chaos, because a little chaos feels just right.

My degree is in... computer science.
I loved my art major friends, but I didn't think I was creative and I couldn't imagine making such an impractical choice. The joke's on me! A few years behind a desk at a computer all day were more than enough — I need more human interaction to survive. But joke's on me again because this job requires plenty of computer time too. Ha!
03
I've lived all over.
Boise is home, and has been for nearly a decade. But I've lived in several other states as well: California, Pennsylvania, back to California, then Texas, and back to California again before settling in Idaho, where we have no intention of ever leaving. I grew up in a part of CA where we rode horses and loved the rodeo, and my heart has always been a little country. I'd love a big piece of land someday but for now I'm getting by with my incredible backyard sunset views.
02
I have zero sweet tooth.
To the horror of my own children and all of the other ones I work with, I hate chocolate and can always turn down the usual temptations. In my world, salty + aggressively spicy are where it's at. And I'd rather sip on bourbon than eat dessert any day.
