Zach & Syvlia’s Family Session at the Old Idaho Penitentiary| Boise Family Photographer
There are some families that become so much more than clients, and Zach and Sylvia are one of those families. Their recent family session at the Old Idaho Penitentiary was such a special one for me, not only because of the beautiful location and golden evening light, but because I have had the privilege of documenting so many milestones in their lives.
Silverton, Colorado Destination Wedding| Carson and Zaidah
Some wedding days are beautiful because of the scenery. Others are beautiful because of the people. Carson and Zaidah’s destination wedding at the Kendall Mountain Lodge in Silvertson, Colorado, was the perfect combination of both.
Nestled high in the San Juan Mountains, their wedding took place at a breathtaking ski resort venue overlooking some of the most stunning mountain views Colorado has to offer. As a destination wedding photographer, I have had the privilege of photographing weddings in many beautiful locations, but there was something truly special about this day. Perhaps it was the towering peaks surrounding us, the peaceful atmosphere of Silverton, or the fact that I wasn’t just their photographer-I am also Carson’s aunt.
Watching Carson grow from a little boy into the incredible man he is today has been one of the greatest joys of my life. Being trusted to capture one of the most important days of his life was an honor I will never forget.

From the moment Abby arrived, her smile lit up the entire space. The Old Penitentiary, with its mix of rustic stone walls and golden fall light, provided the perfect backdrop for her vibrant personality. Abby has a natural way of making everyone around her feel comfortable — and that genuine, warm energy showed through in every single photo. Her laughter was contagious, and by the end of the session, I couldn’t help but smile behind the camera the entire time.
