Fall Family Photos in Coeur d'Alene with the Allsup Family

I had the chance to meet the Allsup family a couple of years ago, and so when Abigail reached out to me this year to see if I could photograph their family again I was excited. Their kids have so much life and joy, and it’s so fun when there is enthusiasm not just with the parents - but their children. But this family of five is a blessing in every way - they are kind, easy to talk to, and so quick to laugh. It is moments like these that I am reminded of how lucky I am to be a photographer and meet people like this.

Lew Family and Maternity Photos

I met Roger and Ashley for the first time when we went to get some photos. They are expecting their first child (which is amazing!) and it was a lot of fun talking to them about their growing family, but even how they met. They were so kind, thoughtful, and easy to talk to - not to mention photograph! I’m so excited for them and their growing, soon to be family of three!

Epperson Family Photos

I know I talk about this a lot, but I do that because it’s true. The compliment of being able to see the same family every year is immense. The idea that you can take someone’s photo, capture them, and they come back a year later and say “hey, you did such a great job capturing the most valuable thing in life, we want you to do it again.” humbles me. This is even more true with Kevin and Alex and their beautiful family, as i’ve had the chance to be there from their engagement, to the pregnancy announcements and now to their beautiful family of five. In addition to that, getting to meet even more people in their family this time was huge, and so so great. I’m very excited to share these ones from our big family shoot out in the fields.

Edmiston Family in CDA

Loved getting to know the Edmiston family late last month in their family photos! So great to meet some people from out of town, and get some great family photos of them. These are some of my favorites.

Fall Family Photos with the Kernodle's

The last couple of years i’ve had the chance to take family photos with the Kernodles. First in 2021, then again last year in 2022. And while these are short family sessions, i’ve absolutely loved getting to know this family (now a family of four!) over the last couple of years. This was magnified by getting to see them, and getting to know their family more when I had the chance to shoot a wedding this year (shout out to Skyler and Kristin!) where Sheldon was a groomsman, and of course the whole family was there. That said, i’m excited to share some of my favorite family fall family photos from them this year.

Coeur d’Alene Family Photographers: The Whitehead Family

I had the chance to meet all four of these amazing people (three siblings, 4 if you include Jake who married in) at Jake and Taylor’s wedding about a year and a half ago. Not only was their wedding beautiful, but they also had some amazing friends and family there. Since then I’ve always enjoyed their company, and so when Taylor reached out and asked me to take some photos of her and her siblings, I was excited. We couldn’t have gotten a better day too, and I love these warm tones we got for this family/sibling shoot. I hope you love them as much as I do!
