Fall is one of the most popular times of year for family photos—and for good reason. The golden light, cozy vibes, and gorgeous colors make the perfect backdrop for portraits. But fall also marks the beginning of a new school year, which means it’s the perfect opportunity to capture both family portraits and updated individual photos of your kids—all in one session.

Family reunions are rare and precious — the laughter, the stories, the cousins playing, the way grandparents’ eyes light up surrounded by their children and grandchildren. These moments deserve more than a quick phone snapshot. They deserve to be preserved beautifully, with everyone in the frame.

Getting ready for your family photo session this summer? You’ve booked the date, picked the location, and now you're staring into everyone's closets wondering… what on earth should we wear? Don’t worry—I’ve got you.

As the rays of summer blanket the picturesque landscapes of Idaho, there's no better time to capture the essence of family life on the farm. Imagine your family's love and connection framed by rolling fields, rustic barns, and the delightful presence of highland cows, horses, your pups, and tractors. I love getting to create timeless memories with our summer family farm home sessions.

Let your kids get away with a little more than usual, just for our session. While we always want them to be safe, it is also fine to let them run and climb a bit, or be a little silly, or act a little cheeky, Because those lead to natural expressions, authentic smiles and giggles, and real family connections, which is always what I aim to capture.
