As a Treasure Valley family photographer based in the heart of Boise, Meridian, and Nampa, I know that planning a photo session can feel overwhelming, especially for busy moms juggling work, kids, and everyday life. That’s why I’m answering some of the most common questions I hear from families to help you feel confident and prepared for your session.

How Do You Get Kids to Cooperate During Family Photos?

Let’s be honest kids aren’t always going to sit still and smile on command, and that’s perfectly okay! I focus on capturing natural, joyful moments rather than staged smiles. I play little games, encourage movement, and use prompts that make kids laugh. The best photos often come from tickle fights, silly races, or big hugs with mom and dad.

What Should We Wear for Our Session?

Choosing outfits doesn’t have to be stressful. I recommend soft neutrals, earth tones, or muted pastels that complement each other without feeling too matchy. Flowy dresses, textured layers, and subtle patterns always photograph beautifully. When you book with me, you get access to my client closet (a curated collection of photo-ready pieces for women and children). When you feel good, it shows in your photos!

As a family photographer serving Boise, Meridian, Nampa, and the surrounding Treasure Valley, my goal is to make your session as fun and stress-free as possible. I specialize in capturing real moments, genuine smiles, and family connections, so busy moms don’t have to worry about posing or “getting it right.” I handle the details while you focus on what matters most—spending time together.

If you’re ready to capture your family’s story in a fun, relaxed, and timeless way, I’d love to work with you! Whether it’s in Boise, Meridian, Nampa, or anywhere in the Treasure Valley, your family deserves beautiful photos that you’ll treasure for years to come.
