The Durocher Family's Photos in Spokane Valley

Last year I had the chance to meet Jacob and Fong at Jacob’s sisters wedding (Shout out to Hunter and Becca!) and I really enjoyed speaking with them. Well, really, I enjoyed speaking with the whole family. They were kind and easy to talk to. So when Jacob reached out to me this year and asked if I could do some family photos for him and his beautiful family of three, I was excited. Not only are they gorgeous people, but they are so easy to get along with too. This particular shoot was a lot of fun, and i’m excited to share.

Alabama Family at Red Horse Mountain Ranch

I had the chance to meet the Prager family’s men when they were on a guys trip to Red Horse Mountain Ranch in Harrison, Idaho. It was a blast. Not only is the location absolutely stunning, with mountains, horses, and a beautiful situation, but the guys themselves were super kind and easy to talk to. I had a blast getting some great photos of them, and I loved how interactive the horses were! Even if they literally stood in the way at times.

Dorame Family Photos Near Coeur d'Alene

I only had the chance to meet a couple of the Dorame family members before our shoot, so getting to meet their whole family of four was a huge privilege. They were so easy to get along with, quick to smile and so photogenic. What a privilege being able to get some great photos of this beautiful family.

Christmas Family Photos with the Hockers

I only had the chance to meet the Hocker family the day we did their family shoot. We got lucky with no rain, and semi-warm weather. It was beautiful. That said, I had an absolute blast getting to know this family of five, more if you count grandma and gramps and the beautiful girlfriend who also came along. We had a lot of fun, with some great personality, and i’m excited to be able to share them with you.

Gerdes Family Photos at Manito Park

It’s not very often you get to have a FIVE-generation photo, but I had the chance to capture that when I did the family photos for my wife’s side of the family. So if you see myself, my boys, and my beautiful wife in some of these pictures, it’s because we were there! That also means this family has grown very dear to my heart, and I love each one of these people so much. It’s also crazy, looking at the size of the family, thinking that a whole family wasn’t able to make it (Crystal’s sister) as they live down in Florida. That said, we couldn’t have asked for a better day, with great color and no rain; it ended up turning out great. Here are some of my favorites.

CDA Family Photos with the Camp Family

Man! This is the third family shoot in a row that I can say I’ve had the chance to see this family grow. And it was a compliment when I talked about it last week, and it’s still a compliment this week. MAN is it good to see Jordan and Bailey again, but it’s also so great seeing their growing family (five now!). I loved seeing them again, but even more so, all the smiles and joy this family of five has is so great. I love how these turned out, and I’m so excited that I can share them with you.
