Last week I had the chance to go photograph some pretty amazing people. Ryan and Cassidy Bones, along with their friends Jake and Ashley. They are starting a thing called The Marriage Upgrade - you should check them out on Instagram. I had so much fun talking with them, joking, getting photos of them living life together. While i’m super excited to see what they do with the photos, here are just a couple of my favorites.
Read MoreThe Goodner family is awesome. They are a family i’ve had the chance to get to know over the last five or six years. They are kind, thoughtful, have awesome energy, really fun to talk to, genuine, and God loving people. They are people you can trust, laugh with, and enjoy the time you spend with them. So getting to photograph their family, their kids, the love Shane and Alyshea have for each other was such a huge privilege. It’s always one of my favorite things being able to take pictures of people I really like, and this was one of those times. I hope you love the photos as much as I loved taking them!
Read MoreIt was more than eight years ago that I first met the Hartzog family as I was getting ready to shoot Waylon and Arionne’s wedding. Since then i’ve had the privilege of being there for many other family photos, and it’s such a privilege they think of me every time they come in town. This family is a fun one, quick to laugh, easy to joke with, and just great to talk to. So this particular photo shoot, at the top of a mountain looking over the river and mountains near Sandpoint was a lot of fun for me. Beautiful spot, great people - all I could hope for.
Read MoreAbout 16 years ago I was trying to figure out how to pay for college. It was confusing, and I didn’t have a lot of help except for the financial aid person at the school I was trying to go to (Multnomah University). Now, if you know me, you know i’m not a particularly shy person so when I had a question I would call Mary up. This was so frequent she eventually had my number memorized, and would answer the phone with “hello Brent…” - good times.
Read MoreI first met Jordan and Bailey during an insane snow storm several years ago as we did their engagement photos. I’ve thought about that moment many times since, not just because of how much snow we got, but how pleasant and great Jordan and Bailey were in such a crazy situation. Since then I’ve had the chance to capture their beautiful wedding, and even their family photos when their daughter was only several months old. What an honor it is, and how much fun it was, getting to capture them again as their family continues to grow (and this time also in the freezing cold and snow). So excited to share these with you, and I hope you love them!
Read MoreI had the chance to meet all four of these amazing people (three siblings, 4 if you include Jake who married in) at Jake and Taylor’s wedding about a year and a half ago. Not only was their wedding beautiful, but they also had some amazing friends and family there. Since then I’ve always enjoyed their company, and so when Taylor reached out and asked me to take some photos of her and her siblings, I was excited. We couldn’t have gotten a better day too, and I love these warm tones we got for this family/sibling shoot. I hope you love them as much as I do!
