Family Photographer: The Slovarp Family in Farragut State Park

Clint and Melissa are two people I have enjoyed visiting with from the very day I met them. Getting to photograph their engagement, their wedding, meeting all their friends and family there, and watching one of the biggest moments of their lives. But to then be asked a little later to photograph their maternity photos and family photos was such an incredible honor. So when Melissa told me her whole family was coming out and they wanted to get some more family photos, the idea they thought of me again was such a huge compliment. I’m so excited to share these family photos. What an incredible group of humans these people are.

Seniors Photographers: Gracie's Senior Photos

Before this day I had never met Gracie. Which is too bad, as she’s very kind, thoughtful, and absolutely photogenic. A couple years ago I had the chance to meet her brother who had similar traits. So this was pretty great, and i’m so excited to share these senior photos with you!

CDA Photographers: Jonah & Liz's Tubbs Hill Engagement

They met in the year 2020. This means they weren't working, as it was March of 2020. In their case, Liz had some friends who were roommates with Jonah, so when the lockdowns started to happen she went over to his house as they were going to isolate together. Jonah's first impression of Liz was how pretty she looked - Liz's first memory of Jonah was that the had made his own gluten free beer, and it wasn't very good. Nothing says a future wedding like bad beer I guess!

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!

CDA Resort Wedding: Zach and Chelsea

Zach and Chelsea are two people with magnetic personalities. They are fun to be around, their friends are fun to be around, and things seem to just flow with them. So when on their wedding day the wind blew and the sun came and went I wasn’t a big deal. I think it’s obvious in the photos at just how much fun these two had on their wedding day, and I can say I also had a blast. I love their story, their friends, and the family I met. And you add on top of that the incredible location at the CDA Resort and the incredible backdrop of Coeur d’Alene Lake, I am absolutely pumped with the photos I have the chance to share with you. I hope you love them!

Spokane Wedding Photographer: Max & Brittany’s Barn on Wild Rose Prairie Wedding

Max and Brittany are two amazing people. They love those close to them fiercely, and they know who they are. They love each other, they love their family and they love their animals. I can honestly say I’ve never had a bride ask me to focus on the animals as much as Brittany did, but what an awesome opportunity to get some truly unique photos! I don’t think I’ve ever seen a photo of a bride feeding a baby cow milk on her wedding day. But I can check that one off the bucket list. Max and Brittany are awesome, and I truly enjoyed their company, their family, and meeting all their friends at their beautiful wedding, and I’m so excited to be able to share these photos with you of their big wedding day at The Barn on Wild Rose Prairie.
