Hi, I'm Macey.

I've been photographing Boise seniors for 18 years, and the thing that still gets me every time is watching a nervous kid walk in and a confident one walk out.

Most seniors arrive convinced they're "not photogenic" or "weird in front of cameras." By the end of the session, they're laughing, relaxed, and genuinely surprised by what they see in the sneak peeks. That transformation is the whole point.

For the moms reading this: I know you want more than good photos. You want your kid to feel celebrated. You want the experience to be easy and worth it. And you want to actually love what you get. That's exactly what I show up to deliver, every single time.

I'm based in Boise, I know this city's light and locations inside and out, and I bring 18 years of experience to every single session. No cookie-cutter poses, no assembly-line galleries. Just portraits that actually look like your kid.

What is it like to work with me?

Think of your Boise senior photo session as a laid‑back hangout, with pro lighting and a hype‑woman behind the lens.

  1. Before the Shoot
    Quick prep call (or text thread) + outfit and location game‑plan. You show up knowing exactly what to bring and where we’re headed.

  2. During the Shoot
    Zero awkward silences—expect music, prompts that feel natural, and plenty of laughs. I’ll coach each pose so you look confident and totally yourself.

  3. After the Shoot
    Sneak peeks land in 48 hours. Your full, polished gallery hits your inbox in 10–14 days—ready for social media, Grandma’s fridge, and the yearbook.

My goal isn’t just epic photos; it’s an experience that leaves you saying, “Wait, that was actually fun.” If that sounds like your vibe, let’s make it happen.
