Will and Jordan's Engagement in Coeur d'Alene

Will and Jordan met online - as almost everyone does these days. The weird thing about it was that Will lived in Washington, while Jordan lived in Nashville. Yeah, if you're trying to think "how did they match?!" That's exactly what Jordan was thinking too. So she messaged him "You're not from here, are you?" - There must have been something that tipped her off. Either way, the reason is simple, Will said the people in our area "just weren't working out" and so he changed his matchable area to be very, very large.

Trevor and Whitney's Beautiful Cloudy Day Engagement

Trevor and Whitney met as so many people do these days, online. The first date didn't happen because Trevor decided he needed to go snowboarding in the mountains. Makes sense, the snow was good that day, and Whitney wasn't someone he had met yet, so because it was so unknown, he went snowboarding.

Cole's Cooper's Senior Photos in Coeur d'Alene

I started to get to know Cole on Instagram as we messaged each other back and forth. He is someone who’s getting into photography, so we talked about that for a bit. It is always an honor to photograph someone who is very opinionated on how the photos should look - it means they’ve looked at your photos with a discerning eye and decided that what you do is the best they could find. A huge compliment. So here are Cole’s senior photos! I hope you love them, we certainly got a great day.

Dan and Kaylene's Engagement Photos Downtown CDA

They met a long time ago. First when neither of them were available (although Dan made an impression with his goofy self even back then) but then again when they were. You see, Kaylene worked with Dan's daughter. So one day - on his birthday - Dan called his daughter and invited her and the people in her office to come down to Pig-Out-In-The-Park with him and get lunch. This included Kaylene.

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!

Chance and Lily's Beautiful Overcast Engagement in Coeur d'Alene

They met around 7th grade. According to Lily he was the "guy that knew everyone" He played sports, was kind, and just generally got along with everyone in his class. I asked Chance if he noticed Lily to which I got a little chuckle from both of them. Because Lily didn't really get to know Chance right away, rather, she was friends with his friends. So by nature, she was around, but they never really hung out, they were never really all that close.
