The Billings Family

Words can’t really sum up what I want to put into this blog. If you’ve had me photograph your wedding, there is a high chance you’ve met one part of this family (aka, Brent Billings). You would know he’s easy to talk to, kind, thoughtful, and considerate. You would know he’s smart, and has your best interest at heart. What you wouldn’t know immediately is that he has an incredible wife, and two beautiful and energetic boys. Not to mention a puppy (Maple) that has maybe more energy than she knows what to do with. The thing is, photos can capture only a small portion of who this family is and what they represent to me. But being able to share them here is such a privilege. I hope you love them!

Reilley-Swanholt Family Photos in Coeur d'Alene

The first chance I had to meet the Reilley family was when we met on the beach in Coeur d’Alene. From the first moment they were a joy to speak to and so easy to photograph. They were quick to laugh, and a group that was just fun to get to know. I’m excited that we also had quite possibly one of the best days to do the family shoot, and i’m excited I get to be the one to share some of these with you!

The Wilson Family at Finch Arboretum

I still remember a lot about Jake and Nicole’s wedding. The people, the moments, the smiles, the location all seared into my memory. Since then i’ve had the chance to see them multiple times for family photos, and every time it’s a privilege. It isn’t hard to see that that they are high-class people, and this extends to their family as well. The great part about this family shoot was that I had the chance to see Jake’s side of the family again. I love how these early fall photos turned out, and i’m excited to share them with you!

CDA Family Photographer: The Dero Family

I saw the Dero family a couple of years ago, and so when they asked me to come out again and get some extra-close-up shots of their family and beautiful girls, I was excited - and honored - to do it again. Here are some of my favorites.

Family Photographers in CDA: The Goodner Family

The 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!

Personal: Looyenga Family Photos

So every year I take pictures of my family. Not just the four of us (five, if you count our dog) but my parents, brothers and sisters and all the people that come with them. It is normally one of the hardest shoots i’ll do every year, because no one has a hard time complaining to their brother. This year, luckily it all went very smoothly (minus a brief moment my own children decided it was a good time to have a breakdown). I hope you love the photos!
