Why Dads Belong in Family Photos – Eagle, Idaho Family Photographer

When most families book a session, it’s the moms reaching out. And often, the dads are just going along with it.

But here’s the truth I’ve seen over and over again as a family photographer in Eagle, Idaho — dads may not ask to be in the photos, but the moments with them are some of the most meaningful ones we capture.

From piggyback rides to quiet cuddles, playful tosses to proud smiles — these are the memories your kids will hold onto forever.

I photograph families all over Eagle, Boise, Star, and the Treasure Valley, focusing on candid moments that feel real, relaxed, and genuine.

For the Dad Who Thinks He Doesn’t Like Photos

You don’t need to pose.
You don’t need to smile on command.
You just need to show up — and I’ll take care of the rest.

Most dads leave their session saying, “That was actually kind of fun.”
Because when you focus on connection instead of perfection, it feels easy — and the photos reflect that.
