Boise Family Photography
also serving families in Nampa, Caldwell, Meridian, Star, and Eagle
From the moment you book, my goal is to make this feel easy, calm, and supportive. I bring years of experience working with families, which means you don’t have to worry about how your kids will behave or whether you’ll know what to do. I’ve seen it all—and I meet every family with patience and understanding.

Frequently asked questions
What time will our session be?
Lighting completely affects the outcome of your images. For soft, even lighting the early morning or sunset times are best. Bright sun equals images with typically harsh shadows. Because of this, I do my best to schedule sessions during times where the lighting is softer.
Newborn and in home sessions will be scheduled for late morning.
How far to do you travel for sessions?
Any where within a 30 miles radius of my home base is included in the session fee. Beyond that, there will be a travel fee of $.60 per additional mile or a flat travel fee depending on location.
How do I use the print credit?
Once your gallery has been delivered, you will receive a print credit depending on the package you select. You will be able to order prints and products, such as albums, directly from your gallery.
How long does it take to receive the final photos?
My turn around time is 3-4 weeks depending on how busy the season is. If galleries are edited and finished earlier, they will absolutely go out as soon as possible. During fall, galleries may take up to 4 weeks so plan accordingly when booking if you're wanting to use images for holiday cards.
Hi, I'm Carly,
I'm a newborn and family photographer.
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.
