Photographing a family I’ve known for years is always something I love doing. Jamie has coached my boys in soccer (she’s amazing!), and I’ve had the chance to coach Flint in basketball. Plus, Bodie and Lucia are part of the youth group I help with, and I’ve loved getting to know them. This shoot was awesome because I got to interact with the whole family at once and know them even better. What an amazing family—so kind and wonderful to have in my life!
Read MoreEvery once in a while I get the privilege of photographing some people I know. And in this case, that was half true. I’ve had the privilege of knowing several members of the Cypher family (Ezra and his sister Eliza) over the last couple of years as I am the youth pastor at the youth group they go to. I’ve had Ezra over to my house, and beaten him in a football game (he may be taller than me, but don’t discount my old-man muscle). So getting to meet the whole family, watch them interact, and get to know them more myself was absolutely awesome. So excited to share these photos, and definitely looking forward to the next time!
Read MoreI had the chance to meet the Lawyer family for the first time when we met at this shoot. They were immediately kind, easy to talk to, and ready for some fun shots. They were only up in this area for a little bit, so I'm glad we could find a time to make it all happen, and I'm so happy we ended up with such a beautiful day for it (just barely missed the smoke!). Here are some of my favorites.
Read MoreI had the chance to meet Matt several years ago when I was doing some headshots for his work. One thing that became clear to me very quickly - Matt’s a kind man. He has always treated me kindly, each and every time I've run into him (which has been quite a bit now that the years have started stacking). So when he asked me to come out and photograph his family, I was excited. Not only getting to know him better, but his family was a real pleasure, and they were all so easy to talk to, helpful, and quick to laugh. I had a great time with them all, and I'm so excited that I get the chance to share some of their family photos.
Read MoreI’m not a morning person, but that does’t mean mornings aren’t magical. And that was reinforced to me when I woke up at 3:30am to drive out and meet the Srikureja family for some absolutely amazing family photos near their home in Spokane. The whole family was so kind, and it was awesome to be able to get to know more of them the day before I saw them all at a wedding the next day. We had a blast, and I'm so happy with how it all turned out.
Read MoreThe first time I met the Collins family was when I met them for their shoot. Visiting from out of town (on one of the busiest weekends this whole summer) they were immediately kind, easy to talk to, and had lots of personality (Looking at you Roy!) I had a blast with them, and I'm so excited to share some highlights form their family shoot.
