All you need to do is show up,
I'll handle
the rest...
Most people don’t know what to do in photos or may not want to take them at all (hi, Dads). I'm here to change that.
I'll guide you through the entire session, adjusting small details, and keep the session moving so it feels light. No forced stiff poses around here.
You’ll walk away with high-quality photos that look natural and are well done.
I'm a big lover Boise’s mountains and sunlit valleys, and I use whatever light and space we have to work with.
I photograph families, newborns, and everything in between, focusing on images that are well shot, natural, and not overdone.
I guide each session, making small adjustments along the way and paying attention to the details that change how a photo turns out, keeping a balance between direction and letting things happen so nothing feels forced.
It's me,
Emalee
Equal parts detail focused, easygoing, & not afraid to get a little muddy for the shot
Family photographer who captures your life as it unfolds
She’s a true professional with the ability to capture sweet, candid moments...
Emalee is an absolute dream to work with! We’ve had the privilege of taking family photos with her for the past 3 years and it’s a tradition we hope to continue for many seasons to come. She’s a true professional with the ability to capture sweet, candid moments in a way that feels so fun, easy, & natural. We always end up laughing until the point of tears in each of our sessions with her! And her lighting — nobody captures golden hour quite like she can. It’s pretty magical. Honestly, she is such a gem of a human being with incredible talent and I can’t recommend her enough!

Year after year, her skilled eyed and gift for storytelling shines through
Emalee is second to none as a photographer. Year after year, her skilled eye and gift for storytelling shines through in the photos she captures of our family. I’m never able to do a mini shoot with her, as I always want every single image she captures! The way she freezes time & celebrates the beauty of the seasons my kid’s are in…well it’s heartbreakingly precious. Her photographs of our family are some of my dearest possessions. Grateful for you Emalee!

What she captured whent above & beyond our expectations
Emalee captured so many special moments at our small backyard wedding. We got to see moments we didn't even know were happening and candid moments that we'll treasure always. When it came to planning, my husband and I felt that our photos were one of the most important aspects of the day, and Emalee blew us away. Not only is she fun to be around, but we felt so comfortable and at peace depending on her throughout the celebrations.
What she captured went above and beyond our expectations. Each photo is art, and so far, we can't pick a favorite. We value her expertise and her ability to direct us for portraits as well as wiggly, large groups :).

Somehow she managed to capture the essence of all 8 of us
Emalee is a lovely human who knows what she's doing and does it extremely well. Somehow she managed to capture the essence of all 8 of us despite ranging in age from 7 to 80. There was a 15 year old girl who will forever be grateful that she was documented looking this good. There was a 7 year old who wouldn't smile, I didn't do a good job following the rules, the 80 year old has trouble walking and and and... she nailed it and made us look great. We got over 100 photos and can't even begin to figure which ones we'll print. We might just have to buy bigger houses so we have more wall space.
