Hi there,

I’m Boise family & children photographer Ali Horton, creating timeless photographs for families, children, and intimate weddings in Boise and surrounding areas.

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

Kind Words.

    "Ali did such an incredible job on our family photos! She made the entire experience so easy and enjoyable"

  • Black and white photo of a family of three outdoors. The father and mother are looking affectionately at their young child, who is in the middle and looking at the camera with a curious expression.

    "We had a great experience with Ali, We were pleasantly surprised she was able to so beautifully capture our family as our little one wasn’t wanting to cooperate too much! She did a great job and we would highly recommend her to anyone wanting some cherished family photos. ❤️"

    "Ali did an amazing job at capturing my little ones, we are so happy on how these turned out"

  • A family of five standing outdoors on a paved path surrounded by trees with autumn foliage, smiling at the camera.

    “Ali did a fantastic job with our family photos, we are extremely pleased, she’s patient and kind and the kids had a good time.”

Why hire a professional photographer?

In a world where we all carry a camera in our pockets, it’s fair to wonder why you’d hire a photographer at all.

You probably have hundreds of photos on your phone—your kids, your partner, everyday moments, even last week’s lunch. But there’s one important thing missing from most of those images.

You.

You’re often the one behind the camera, capturing the memories but rarely stepping into them. I know this firsthand. Even as a photographer, I have countless photos of my children—but far fewer of us together.

Hiring a photographer isn’t about replacing the photos you take every day. It’s about giving yourself permission to be present. To step into the frame. To slow down and enjoy the moment while someone else preserves it for you.

I’m a full-service photographer, which means I don’t just hand over digital files and send you on your way. My pricing includes professionally printed images—artwork you can hold, display, and pass down—so your memories don’t stay hidden on a screen.

These are the photographs meant to live on your walls and in albums, telling your family’s story for years to come.
