The In-home, candid photographer in Boise, idaho

I’m Jolyn Laney—artist, storyteller, and documenter of family legacies.

I grew up here in Boise, wandered to Texas, and returned home with three boys, a husband, and a life that’s loud, chaotic, and full of love. Which is exactly why I know how important it is to preserve these fleeting seasons before they slip away.

I don’t wear heels or much makeup — I’m usually barefoot, hair up, mascara on. I thrive on realness, and that’s what I bring to every family I photograph. I slip into your world not as an observer, but as someone who feels the heartbeat of your family and turns it into timeless art.

This isn’t about perfect pictures.

It’s about proof: proof of how loved you are, how deeply you belong to each other, and how beautiful your everyday life truly is.

If you’re looking for posed smiles and matching outfits, I’m not your photographer. But if you want your story told in a way that your children and grandchildren will hold onto for generations—you’re in the right place.

Let's start your legacy
