Should You Ask for Black and White Edits on Your Family Photos? (Eagle/Boise Photographer Explains)

Wondering if black and white family photos are worth asking for? You’re not alone. A lot of families across Eagle, Boise, and the Treasure Valley aren’t sure if they should stick with color or include some black and white edits in their gallery.

Here’s the short answer:
You don’t have to choose just one. But having a few black and white edits from your family session can bring out a whole different side of your photos.

Why Black and White Edits Matter:

• They highlight emotion and connection.

• They turn simple moments into timeless images.

• They bring focus to faces, expressions, and the real feel of your family.

As a photographer based in Eagle, Idaho, I always include a few black and white edits when I deliver your gallery. You still get all your photos in color, but some moments — the laughs, snuggles, little details — just feel more powerful in black and white.

Do You Need Your Whole Gallery in Black and White?
No — most families love a mix. I’ll take care of choosing which images work best in both styles so you don’t have to worry about it.

At the end of the day, it’s about creating photos that feel like you — honest, real, and timeless.

If you're planning a family photo session in Eagle, Boise, Meridian, Star, or anywhere in the Treasure Valley, I'd love to help capture those little moments.
