Hi

I’m Ali Horton, a Boise-based Family & Children Photographer. My passion for photography began 10+ years ago in LA when I worked as a nanny.

Photos are more than just pictures to me—they're a way to travel back in time. During a difficult chapter of my life, when I faced homelessness and lost many belongings, the photographs I held onto became my most treasured keepsakes.

That’s why I love creating and preserving memories for you.

Something you can hold on to and preserve for future generations.

Why hire a professional photographer?

In the age where everybody has a cellphone and has access to basically instant photography, why would you hire me or any other photographer?

The way I see it is simple: you can go through your phone and look at a hundred photos of the kids, the hubby, last week's lunch (yeah, I know, took a photo of that), the key component is missing from all those photos. Can you guess who?…YOU!! Yes, you are missing from the photos and the moment. Trust me, I know, yes, I am a photographer and I take tons of photos of my kids, but I can’t remember the last photo someone took of me with the kids!

So, when considering hiring a photographer, think of it as an opportunity to enjoy the moment, the time, for the memories you will create and later print to hang on the wall.

Kind words

“We were pleasantly surprised she was able to so beautifully capture our family as our little one wasn’t wanting to cooperate too much.”

“Ali is very fun to work with, she made my little shy guys come out of their shell and got some great shots with some great smiles!!”
