Photographing a family I’ve known for years is always something I love doing. Jamie has coached my boys in soccer (she’s amazing!), and I’ve had the chance to coach Flint in basketball. Plus, Bodie and Lucia are part of the youth group I help with, and I’ve loved getting to know them. This shoot was awesome because I got to interact with the whole family at once and know them even better. What an amazing family—so kind and wonderful to have in my life!
Read MoreI’m not a morning person, but that does’t mean mornings aren’t magical. And that was reinforced to me when I woke up at 3:30am to drive out and meet the Srikureja family for some absolutely amazing family photos near their home in Spokane. The whole family was so kind, and it was awesome to be able to get to know more of them the day before I saw them all at a wedding the next day. We had a blast, and I'm so happy with how it all turned out.
Read MoreI’m not actually not sure how long it has been since I met Julie and Doug for the first time. But I do remember the shoot, in Manito park as they announced their pregnancy for their first child, Rosalie. I remember the fall colors, their dogs (their only “children” at the time, and how kind and easy to get along with they were. Over the years I've had a huge privilege of watching their family grow, in good and bad times, and being able to capture the smiles and memories that come along with it. So adding another year to that history isn’t just a small thing, it becomes bigger and bigger each year they ask me. And I love the fact I get to share these photos here first. I hope you love them!
Read MoreThe more I talk with the Griswold family, the more i’m convinced that we would be friends if we all had more time in life. The reason is simple, this family is awesome. They are kind, easy to talk to, quick to laugh, and have great taste. Their kids are beautiful, and look like mini versions of them. So being able to meet with them and. capture this beautiful family is a huge honor, and being able to share some of my favorites is as well.
Read MoreThis particular trip was something I had been looking forward to for a while. My wife and I had set aside the time months and months in advance, and I was so excited to take her and my youngest son to Rainier for the first time. As we got closer and closer to the date, however, the weather started to look more and more sketchy - and sketchy it was. The day we arrived it was pouring rain. So we setup our tent (From DOD Outdoors) in the rain, then got all our bedding setup inside. It was about 37 degrees - in August.
Read MoreLast week I had the chance to go photograph some pretty amazing people. Ryan and Cassidy Bones, along with their friends Jake and Ashley. They are starting a thing called The Marriage Upgrade - you should check them out on Instagram. I had so much fun talking with them, joking, getting photos of them living life together. While i’m super excited to see what they do with the photos, here are just a couple of my favorites.
