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.

CDA Family Photos: The Slovarp Family

There is something amazing about being a photographer. It isn’t that we get to see beautiful places, or be an incredible moments - although I do love those things - rather it’s we get the chance to see families grow. I was there when Clint and Melissa were engaged, I had the chance to talk with them, laugh with them, share hiking stories and listen to how they got together. Then they were getting married (at Settlers Creek as well, which is such a beautiful place!) and I had the chance to be there when that relationship went from “let’s date” to “let’s be together forever”.

CDA Photographer: Clint & Melissa's Maternity Photos

A little more than a year ago I had the huge privilege of taking pictures of an amazing couple at Settlers Creek. Clint and Melissa are two people who had an incredible wedding, with some great laughs, amazing people, and an awesome sunset. Fast forward some nine months and I get an email from Melissa telling me that her and Clint are expecting a baby, and they want me to capture not just their maternity photos - but also some family photos once the little one is born. So amazing! What an honor it is to be there for the engagement, the wedding, and now the beginning of a beautiful family.

Wedding Photography Review - Clint & Melissa

I’ve had several weddings at Settlers Creek and Clint & Melissa are one of them. Clint & Melissa’s wedding was so much fun and a highlight for me! It was such a joy to be able to photograph such an amazing moment in their lives. I’m happy to be able to share this amazing review from them, to you. :D

North Idaho Wedding: Clint & Melissa's Settlers Creek Wedding

Clint and Melissa are two amazing humans. They laugh, they joke, they are quick to smile, yet so genuine and kind. They have great friends, big hearts and absolutely know how to have fun. Photographing their wedding at Settlers Creek was a highlight for me. It just makes things easy when people are all those things I just mentioned, the days go faster, and we have a lot of fun. I think this translates in their photos - lots of smiles, laughs, and good times. I am so excited that I get to share them with you.
