Boise Newborn Photographer

Real. Relaxed. Natural.

Hi, I’m Tamara

(Yes, appropriately, my name rhymes with camera.)

I live in a cozy pocket of Boise’s Northend in a quaint 1950’s home.
I specialize in lifestyle family photography because I want to capture your family as you really are – but at your best.

Why Work With Me

Casual

I strive to create a relaxed atmosphere where my clients can truly be themselves. With a friendly demeanor and easygoing nature, I foster genuine connections and capture authentic moments with ease. Laughter is encouraged, making the session feel more like a fun adventure than a formal photo shoot.

Creative

I am dedicated to tailoring each session to reflect your individuality and style. I love collaborating with clients and brainstorming ideas together to create something truly special. With me, you can expect a session filled with creativity, excitement, and a commitment to making your vision come to life.

Candid

While I’ll offer direction, I leave plenty of room for spontaneity and life to unfold organically, precisely like it should. My sessions delicately balance guided poses and raw, organic moments to reveal your true self. Together, we’ll capture unique and imaginative shots that reflect your personality and individual spirit.

Testimonials

We have been using Tamara for our family photos for the last 8 years. She is professional, personable, great with kids, and talented to boot. At every single one of our photo shoots she does a wonderful job of helping the whole family feel so relaxed — we play and chat and have FUN together while she is busy snapping photos – and the results are always AMAZING. She does a great job with my children and they LOVE “Tamara Camera”. I cherish all of the images she captures for us.

Marybeth Johnston

Tamara is a great photographer – she put us at ease with a fun, efficient, and creative shoot to capture headshots for several individuals and a group. I love how they came out. Thank you, Tamara!

Angie Callen

We had an absolutely delightful experience with Tamara. She made taking pictures of a newborn and a toddler seem effortless. She was SO great with both kids (and us) but especially our toddler who we were worried wouldn’t be having any of it. I highly recommend Tamara for your picture taking needs, but especially for family photos. She was prompt, gave us direction which is what we all needed and made us all feel so comfortable. Will be calling her for future photography needs!

Alexandra Kane

Tamara is the best! Shes done our family photos and my professional headshots and both are so lovely. She can even capture exquisite family photos when your two small children are in the middle of turning into overstimulated gremlins— which is a true talent.

Frequently Asked Questions

To secure a spot in my schedule, I recommend contacting me around your 7th month of pregnancy.

We will still want to put your due date down on the calendar. I know that babies come when they feel like it, but it’s always good for me to have an idea when to expect their arrival.

When baby does arrive, email me. We will want to get you on the schedule as soon as possible. The ideal range is between 1-3 weeks after birth.

No. I prefer a natural look and feel. I want to document the first few weeks of the baby’s life when you are just staring at your sweet bundle while snuggling on the bed, the couch, or any other areas of the home.

Nope! We will do a few family photos as well as individuals of the baby.

Newborn sessions can take place in your home or in my small studio. Shooting in your home gives you comfort and all the resources you need, especially if you have other children.
Alternatively, if you don’t like the look and feel of your bedroom, my space is always an option. I have it set up in a cozy white space with a bed in the downtown area. This setup is not recommended if you have small children – the sessions take a while and there is minimal entertainment for them.

Plan for 2 hours. Though it doesn’t always take this long, you never know. Some babies require a little more attention and this allows for that. We may have to stop for feeding or changing, and this gives us enough time.

Please send me your board, but I won’t promise to do those photos.

I love to look to see your style and get a feel for your vision. Every situation and family is different and recreating those shots can be extremely difficult.
