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.
Read MoreThey 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.
Read MoreThe 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!
Read MoreThey 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.
Read MoreThey met on Tinder - as so many couples do these days - and set up a date. Matt talks a lot about what it means for two introverts to go on a date - or even find each other - and this whole situation worked out best for them. Alexis said at one point that she "couldn't imagine" trying to find someone another way.
Read MoreIf i’m counting right (and i’m probably not) I think this is the fourth time i’ve had a chance to capture the Adrian Family. First when it was just Corey and Katie, but as their family grew, they have continued to ask me to do one of the most important things someone could do - record their family growing up. It’s amazing to me, how each time I get to see this family, how much bigger and joyful the kids are, how great it is to see Corey and Katie, and just visit with them. It’s truly a highlight of my job and this shoot was no different. The Adrian family is no doubt an incredible one - you only need to spend a little bit of time with them to know that - and being able to share some of my favorites from their recent family photo session is a privilege that will never get old.
