Preston Idaho Mountain Family Session | The Bowles Family
This summer I had the joy of photographing the Bowles family for the second year in a row, and it was such a treat to see them again! They were visiting family in Preston, Idaho and made time for updated photos in the beautiful Cub River mountains. A Preston Idaho Mountain Family Session is always special, but this one had everything—golden light, big smiles, and views for days.
The Idaho mountains are so underrated, and Cub River gave us the perfect mix of sweeping landscapes and cozy spots for portraits. We picked an evening where the sun lit everything with the prettiest golden glow. The results? A gallery full of warmth, laughter, and all the chaos that makes family sessions so real.
Why I Love Preston Idaho Mountain Family Sessions
Family photography in the mountains brings a whole different kind of magic. Here’s why this session stands out:
-
Golden Light + Scenic Views: Evening light in Cub River turns every shot into a piece of art.
-
Kids + Candy = Success: Pez, Smarties, and marshmallows were the MVPs for keeping little ones smiling.
-
Teamwork Makes It Easy: Grandma came along to help wrangle toddlers, and her presence made such a difference.
Sessions like this prove that “perfect” isn’t the goal—connection is. We played, laughed, and leaned into the chaos of toddlers. The candid moments always end up being the favorites, and this session was packed with them.
A Family Tradition Worth Keeping
I always encourage families to make photos a yearly tradition. Kids grow and change so quickly, and documenting those shifts creates a priceless timeline of memories. For the Bowles family, this second session captured another chapter of their story—complete with silly grins, tender hugs, and plenty of adventure.
Why Choose Cub River in Preston, Idaho
Cub River is a hidden gem in southeastern Idaho. It offers towering pines, open meadows, and mountain views without a long drive. Families who want a little adventure without the hassle love this spot. Every time I photograph here, I leave reminded of just how stunning Idaho truly is.
