The world is full of beautiful places I adore visiting. My husband and I have cinched crampons to our boots and gripped ice axes as we hiked on the Vatnajökull glacier in Iceland, we’ve pedaled down dirt roads in Belize, and climbed steep stone staircases that led to unreal views of Machu Picchu.

But Boise is home: It’s where I attended college, launched my professional photography career more than a decade ago, and became a mother. It is here–in our foothills, beside our river, throughout our vibrant neighborhoods–that my personal life unfolds. In turn, it’s where I raise my camera and capture the moments, people, and places that are important to you.
