Coeur d'Alene Senior - Ezra

One of my favorite things about my job is being there for big moments in life. One of the first ones a person experiences is graduating from high school. They, essentially, have grown up - and are now faced with many more life decisions. But when you add to it being able to take photos of someone you’ve known for years, and capture that moment in their life, it’s huge. I absolutely love Ezra. He’s kind, he’s funny, he has such a good heart. He’s someone I love seeing every time he’s around, and the only thing I'd change is to have him around more often. So being able to share some of my favorite photos from his senior session? Huge. I hope you love them!

Bea and Landon's Kalispell Golf and Country Club Wedding

Getting to be at Bea and Landon's wedding was something special - something different. Not just because I had the chance to photograph Landon's senior photos (which makes it already more special) or because I had the chance to photograph his sister's senior photos - or even because we went to the same church together. No, it's even bigger than that. Landon has been someone i've known since he was in 5th grade. He came over to my house every Sunday for years, we built a relationship, a friendship. So as his relationship with Bea started to develop, and as i've seen him grow over the years, it was especially incredible to be a part of this wedding. A wedding that was filled with people I knew intimately (from my dad as the officiant, or my brother as a groomsman, to knowing mostly each groomsman quite well except one).

The Retz Family's Fall Photos

I've had the privilege of knowing Jarrett and Meagan for years now. I photographed their wedding, their engagement before that, and I've gotten to come back for family photos more than once since. So when they reached out to tell me their family had grown again with the arrival of baby Theodore, I was so excited to get back out there with them.

Karleigh & Colton's Cloudy Fall Engagement

Karleigh and Colton have such an interesting story. Their lives had been swirling around each other for years, from Halloween party's to bars, but one of the most memorable moments was the day they first "met". I put that in quotes because they met - but they also weren't there together. It turns out, they had said hello, but Karleigh was at the bar with some other friends when someone yelled at her to come and help. Why? Because Colton had collapsed outside and was "not breathing". Turns out he was "almost" not breathing and his heart was only giving a faint pulse. So Karleigh did the necessary CPR and got him into a stable state - saving his life.

Kelly & Matt | Trezzi Farms Wedding

Kelly and Matt had a wedding I'll remember for a long time. Not just because it was at an amazing place, or with so many really cool people, but because Kelly and Matt are just fun, kind people to be around. Their vows were so unique and personal, and each and every moment of their wedding was filled with meaning and thoughtfulness. I absolutely love how these turned out, so much so i'm sorry I put so many in! What an absolute honor to capture this one.

Courtney & Dominic | Wallace, Idaho Wedding

I had so much fun with Courtney and Dominic downtown Wallace. This is a place they have both built lives over years. They have so many connections, know so many people, it was wild to have the ceremony on the street in the middle of downtown Wallace, but it was also so cool to see all the people and connections they have as they walk around downtown. These two were always ready to have fun, and i loved meeting their friends and family. Such a great couple, such a great day, such a great wedding.
