New blog post!
I get asked every so often about my equipment and what I use to edit so I thought it would be fun to do a post on it, plus I added some of buy favorite photography educators.

Enjoy!

Photography Resources & Educators I Wish I Had When I Was Starting Out When I first started out in photography, I remember feeling completely overwhelmed. There was so much to learn, so many options for gear, editing techniques, business strategies — and honestly, not enough resources that spoke d...

Don’t wait for the “perfect” moment - life is messy, beautiful, and full of love. Those are the moments I want to capture for you. ✨

Right after I got the key to the studio I went in and played for about 35 minuets. This is not my full Valentine’s Day set up, but if you’re interested in Valentine’s Day minis for your kiddos, be on the lookout in the next day or too. They’re gonna be so fun

Tell me your kids are photographers kids without telling me they’re photographers kids. 🤣🤗🩷 That face though. 😅

Mamas! 💖

I know it can feel like the perfect photo is impossible to catch—when your little one isn’t smiling or doesn’t want to sit still. But trust me, the real magic is in those moments that show who they are right now—those little quirks, the laughter, the candid expressions. It’s not about a posed, picture-perfect grin. It’s about capturing the personality and heart of your child exactly as they are in this season of life. ✨

So if your kiddo isn’t feeling it today, no worries! I’m here to document the real them—the joy, the mischief, the love—because those are the moments you’ll want to look back on forever. I’m all about holding on to these fleeting moments, not forcing a smile, but celebrating them just as they are. 💕

These are the photos you’ll cherish for years to come. 💕

Happy New Year, friends!

The new year feels like such a clean slate. I love it. I used to be such a big new year resolution person. Now I just set some realistic goals and pray for all the Lord has to teach me and if at the end of the year I can say I’ve grown closer to Him, nurtured my family and continued to be the gate keeper of our home, then I can feel successful.

I can’t wait to share with you all (hopefully tomorrow!😅) what is coming in this new year. I pray it allows me to continue to serve you all well and that it’s a blessing.

Do you love making new year resolutions or goals? Or is it truly just another day for you?!

As a family photographer and mother myself, I know the importance of preserving memories in a way that feels authentic and true to who you are and I believe that every session is an opportunity to do just that. Whether it’s the fun rambunctious seasons with littles or the soft intimate moments between you and your love, let me help you create unforgettable memories that will be cherished for years to come.

To say that being able to capture this day was a privilege is an understatement! Hallee is one of the sweetest people I have ever met and getting to see her so happy, marrying her person in a dream location was such an honor! This sneak peek barely touches the surface of their day but as I go through and edit these images, I had to share a few of my favorites with you all!

Ps. Could she be any prettier!🩷

I cannot believe that I have been blessed with the privilege of photographing this beautiful family for over a decade!!
Wow! Thank you guys so much for trusting me with these precious memories! Getting to watch your family grow has been so fun and it’s something I don’t take for granted. 🩷

For those of you that have been around here for a minute… you know I stopped taking weddings back in 2016. After we lost our first baby, I took a big step back from photography and the sessions I took on. But life is definitely about seasons, and sometimes those seasons bring on new beginnings.

This couple was an absolute joy to photograph. Everything about their day was fun and loving. I’m honored that they allowed me to capture this precious time in their lives.

Here’s to new beginnings. It’s never too late to start something new or try again. 🩷

Burley friends, I’ll be in burley all next week and have 1 more opening for family pictures if anyone is interested! 🤗

YOU GUYS!! 🥲

I finally have a website!

Wow.. This has been a long time coming. I built this baby myself and let me tell you, I am not a web designer. Even with a template, this thing tested my perseverance. There are still parts of it I am working on, like the blog. But the main site is up and functioning as far as I can tell and I am excited to share it with y'all!! Let me know if you give it a visit.

As a mama I know how precious and fleeting these moments of life are. One day, you just wake up and your baby looks different. Suddenly they're less of a baby and more of a child.I've experienced it with my own growing family and my heart yearns to stop time in its tracks and remember every tiny det...

Really, there are no words for how sweet this session was!
These brothers are fun, energetic and all boy! I loved every second of it.

From the cowboy hats to playing in the river, these pictures truly make my heart happy! , I hope you love this little sneak peek! I can’t wait for you to get your gallery.

It is incredible cold and windy… so this mama is dreaming about the beach. Take me back. 😆
Seriously though, I would love to schedule sessions in SoCal. The beach is my favorite place and we have family in California. So it’s an easy yes.

Let me know if you’d want pictures the next time I’m in California.
grace.photography thank you again for these pictures!

My first session of 2024 and it did not disappoint. January 1st, New Year’s Day I was so blessed to get to take pictures of this wonderful father and daughter. They braved the Idaho cold and truly, looking at the pictures you can’t even tell that it was nearly freezing outside.

Anyone else obsessed with the winter light? It’s so crisp and beautiful.

Thank you guys again for hanging out with me and Emily for setting it all up! ❤️
