Odeh Family Photos in Manito

It is hard for me to over state how much I enjoy the Odeh family. Being able to be there for their engagement photos, wedding photos, maternity photos, and family photos as this family has grown into a family of five is absolutely amazing. There is something special about these people that makes being with them, watching them laugh, and watching their family grow that is such an incredible privilege. The thing that struck me this spring evening was just how much they remembered about my life.

Family Photos in Idaho with the Galloways

Being able to photograph families is one of my favorite things. Watching them interact, watching them laugh, joke, and get along really shows me a lot of what a family is about. The Galloway family is special. They clearly get along, but even more clearly love each other. I had a blast capturing them and their interactions, but also seeing them again (as I had the chance to photograph Derek and Stephanie’s wedding a couple of years ago).. Hope you love the photos from this late winter family shoot!

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!

The Billings Family

Words can’t really sum up what I want to put into this blog. If you’ve had me photograph your wedding, there is a high chance you’ve met one part of this family (aka, Brent Billings). You would know he’s easy to talk to, kind, thoughtful, and considerate. You would know he’s smart, and has your best interest at heart. What you wouldn’t know immediately is that he has an incredible wife, and two beautiful and energetic boys. Not to mention a puppy (Maple) that has maybe more energy than she knows what to do with. The thing is, photos can capture only a small portion of who this family is and what they represent to me. But being able to share them here is such a privilege. I hope you love them!

The Phillips Family

I still remember the day I met Jake and Allie. We were at a wedding, and they were the best man and maid of honor. They were kind, so, so helpful, and were part of an amazing group of friends. I remember even getting a chance to talk theology with them at the wedding (something I love to talk about). It was years later I had the chance to take photos of them and their growing family, and I believe this may be the third time now! It’s such a huge compliment, and I absolutely love seeing them every time they have me come out to take their photos. Those boys are growing, and growing fast! Here are some of my favorites from the shoot.

Wagstaff Family Photos Downtown Spokane

It was several years ago now that I had the chance to meet the Wagstaff family. At that wedding, they were kind, beautiful and such a beautiful family. Several years later I had the chance to do their family photos, and every year since then. What has struck me over the years is just how kind, thoughtful and amazing this family really is. Not just in their interactions with me, but in how their kids interact with me, with each other, and their parents. There is a true joy here, and I love being able to capture it. Here are some of my favorites from this years family photos with the Wagstaffs.
