Your family: the greatest artwork of all
treasure valley family photography
I've been a Boise family photographer since 2014. I create timeless, connection-driven family photography designed to feel effortless and elevated all at once.
In my many years of experience, I've seen it all — and I can work with it all, from cranky toddlers to shy children to teens who would rather be anywhere else. The only thing I need for gorgeous photos is for your family to show up ready to enjoy each other!
I don't need your children to behave or your husband to pose uncomfortably. I don't do cheesy poses and I promise you don't need to be photogenic. In fact, your family, just as you are, is my favorite inspiration — you've already made the magic.
My job is to turn that magic into artwork, with zero stress for you. From wardrobe to locations and a completely relaxed session, I've created a seamless experience for busy families that results in images you'll treasure for the rest of your life — and that your children and grandchildren will treasure beyond.
I'll send you home with photographs of your favorite humans that you'll want all over your walls.
HER PICTURES HAVE BROUGHT ME TO TEARS EVERY TIME. SHE TRULY CREATES A STORY WITH EACH SESSION.

Let's celebrate your greatest creation
a note from hannah:
I've been photographing families since 2014, but I've been a mother even longer — I know firsthand the simultaneous grief and awe of watching our children grow so quickly, and realizing that holding onto moments is much like trying to hold onto sand.
Photographs are the closest thing any parent can get to going back in time. Of course we'll never get to actually relive these moments, but photos allow us to revisit the memories — and preserve them for decades to come.
When I photograph families, I'm photographing love. I'm documenting the building of your legacy. I'm celebrating the humans who are your whole world. And I'm making sure these memories don't slip through your fingers, so you can come back to them now and always — even when the nest has been empty longer than it was ever full.

what makes me different
an easy & elevated experience
If you're like most of my clients, the idea of family photos may stress you out — your children are unpredictable, your husband hates getting photos done, you don't feel photogenic, and you've been disappointed by results in the past.
I've spent well over a decade honing my skills and process, and can promise you this: I have you covered. Really. Moms, I'll make you look gorgeous. Dads, this will be easy, not cheesy. Kids, I love your quirky personalities, and we're going to have fun.
Let me show you what family photography was truly meant to be.
the family photo process
An effortless experience, meaningful for generations.
1. booking
Send me an inquiry, and I'll reply quickly with my detailed information and answers to your questions. Booking is easy and fully online. You'll also receive a questionnaire so that I can get to know your family, plus a detailed session guide to walk you through each step of this process.
2. styling & planning
All full sessions include my styling and planning direction, plus access to my incredible client wardrobe. Most families choose an in-person planning appointment to try on pieces and finalize details like location and timing. This is a wonderful chance to get to know me ahead of your session, and it saves my clients hours of shopping and guesswork. If you prefer to wear your own clothing, I'll still guide you through every detail so your photos come together beautifully!
3. session day
My client guide will fully prepare you for the session itself, including what to bring and how to have a great time. Some clients worry that their children won't behave the whole time — but I'm not looking for 'good behavior.' My sessions are built around having fun together, exploring and playing, relaxing and conversing. In fact, most of my favorite images come from the end of our time together, long past the time that parents thought their kids could handle. This will be easier than you expect, I promise!
4. after your session
My galleries are delivered in 4-6 weeks. You'll receive your images via private online gallery, where you can download, share, and shop with your included print credit. I'm always available to assist my clients in choosing artwork for their walls. Your photos aren't created to live on your hard drive, but to be enjoyed every single day!
"HER PORTRAITS ARE TRUE WORKS OF ART — NOT JUST POSED SMILING PHOTOS, BUT A REAL DEPICTION OF THE LIFE AND SOUL OF HER SUBJECTS."

A LOOK INSIDE:
what's included
A family session with me is designed to feel like an evening with your favorite people — relaxed, unhurried, and genuinely enjoyable. From your first inquiry to your final gallery delivery, every detail is handled. So far from the experience you may be used to, this is the better way to do family photos.
> styling & planning assistance
Some of my families already know where they want their photos taken and how they want them to feel. Others want all of the input they can possibly get. Wherever you fall, I am here to collaborate with you to ensure that your photos genuinely reflect your family and make you so excited to print them and share them and show them off.
> client wardrobe
I offer a very large collection of beautiful wardrobe items for women, babies, and children up to around age 7. I have dozens of dresses designed to flatter real women in all stages of motherhood, and I save my clients hundreds of dollars and hours of stress shopping. Whether you borrow from my collection or wear your own clothing, I will help you put together a wonderful set of outfits for your family that will greatly enhance your final images.
If you've ever looked into hiring a photographer before, you'll quickly realize that we all have different ways of structuring our pricing. Personally, I believe in including high resolution, fully edited and retouched images with every session. There are zero hidden costs in my offerings — ever.
> Digital images
Signature sessions and collections include a large credit toward prints and other products. It's so important to me that your memories don't sit on a hard drive and that you are able to view your photos on a daily basis - they're created to bring light and joy and love to your life, and remind you why family is so wildly wonderful! My prints and products are heirloom quality and you can shop right from your private online gallery.

YOU WILL GET ABOVE AND BEYOND WHAT YOU PAY FOR.

FAqs
do you offer mini sessions?
Yes! I refer to them as petite sessions, and I offer them exclusively during special events a couple times each year. I consistently host a spring motherhood event, and a fall family event. If you're interested, reach out for details and make sure you're on my email list so you don't miss out when I release them!
what if my husband hates photos?
I hear this all the time, and honestly, I would expect him to. The typical family photo experience is rushed, stressful, and full of cheesy poses that most dads aren't excited about. I am committed to creating an experience that is comfortable for moms and dads alike — he will get to interact with you and your kids in a way that actually feels like him. I consistently hear from my clients that the man who has always hated photos finally felt comfortable at our session.
what if my kids don't cooperate?
They probably won't. No big deal! I promise you that I have seen it all, and nothing fazes me. Nearly every photo you see here includes children who didn't cooperate. As a mom of four, I am so comfortable with chaos — because the flip side of it is pure magic!
what's included in my session fee?
The cost of the session covers everything you need for a seamless experience, including fully retouched high resolution images. From one busy parent to another, this process is designed to be as simple as possible. You can rest assured that there are no hidden or unexpected costs, ever. For a full breakdown of what's included in each session type, send me an email.
