the first days, preserved
Boise Newborn Photographer
Fresh 48 and newborn photo sessions are about those quiet, tender moments when even the littlest stretch or smirk deserves to photographed. These sessions focus on connection, closeness, and the small details you never want to forget.
As a newborn photographer in Boise, I approach these with a calm presence that isn't intrusive. Whether we’re documenting your first hours together in the hospital or those early days at home, the experience is unhurried and gentle.
For the mom who wants to remember the tenderness and tiny details of her newborn’s earliest days.
the yawns, the stretches, the sweetest double chins
the beginning of your story together
tiny toes, fuzzy heads, Milk drunk smiles
These photos become a place to return to. Proof of how small they once were. Trust me mama, one day they won't want snuggles and kisses. Let’s soak up as much of this season as we can so when you have to chase them down for cuddles, you’ll have these images to look back on.
Seeing the magic through the exhaustion
sleep deprived, exhausted, hearts bursting
My approach to family photography is calm, patient, and connection-focused. I guide you gently so you never feel stiff or awkward, while allowing space for real moments to unfold naturally.
Fresh 48 and newborn lifestyle sessions allow for plenty of space for feeding, soothing, and diaper changes. There is zero rushing allowed!

Frequently asked questions
What is the difference between a Fresh 48 and a newborn session?
A Fresh 48 session takes place within the first 24–48 hours after birth, typically in the hospital or birth center. A newborn session usually happens within the first 1–3 weeks after your baby arrives and takes place in your home.
When is the best time of day for a newborn session?
I have found late morning is typically the best time. This allows you to have a calm and quiet morning, giving you time to get dressed and ready without feeling rushed. Early morning also helps us avoid the dreaded witching hours in the afternoon!
What if baby is fussy/ feeding/ sleeping?
Whether your baby is wide awake, sound asleep, or a little fussy, there’s no “wrong” moment. Some of the most beautiful photos come during feeding and comforting your baby. I move slowly and patiently, allowing plenty of time so nothing feels rushed or stressful.
Can we include props/blankets?
My sessions are not styled studio sessions, so I don’t use props or elaborate setups. Instead, I focus on documenting your baby and family in your natural setting. That said, simple, sentimental items are always welcome. A special blanket, heirloom quilt, or meaningful piece can always be included.
In Home Photos
An in-home session removes the pressure to “perform.” No rushing out the door. No unfamiliar spaces. Just your family, exactly as you are, in a place that already holds meaning. The result is imagery that feels relaxed, honest, and personal—photos that look like your life, not a photo shoot.

Outdoor Family Photos
Outdoor sessions are so much fun, with gentle direction and a lot of room for movement. Your kids don’t have to sit still and you don’t have to worry about perfection. We embrace curiosity, allowing little ones to explore all while capturing beautiful interactions with your family.

Hi, I'm Carly,
I'm a newborn and family photographer in the Nampa area.
As a mom, I know how quickly the years fly by. One moment, you're bringing home a newborn, and the next, they're running off to their first day of school. My mission is to help you capture these fleeting moments in a way that’s authentic, joyful, and full of heart.
I love being able to capture genuine + spontaneous moments. I view my job behind the camera as a documenter, providing you with a freeze-frame of your current chapter in life. I've found that (with guidance) kids do best when they're free to be kids at sessions. This creates an environment that is fun and less stressful for everyone!
I have worked with many families that have children on the autism spectrum or may struggle in social settings. I am confident in my interactions with them and if this is a concern for you, please let me know so we can discuss further.
I will give posing suggestions and prompts as needed to ensure everyone feels comfortable in front of the camera. My goal is not only to provide you with beautiful photos, but to also have you leave a session with a full heart.
