Coeur d'Alene Senior Photographers: Jacobs Sunset Schweitzer Senior Shoot

I really enjoy doing senior photos. It’s awesome to work with one person (instead of two), but also see where someone who is just thinking about their future is deciding to go. This one, however, was special in so many ways. Not just because I had the chance to go up one of my favorite mountains (Schweitzer Mountain) and take photos at sunset, and not just because I love the mountains and hiking. No, this one was special because Jacob’s mom was one of my best friends, starting in Kindergarten. We went to school together for years, and even after that remained friends.

High School Senior Photographer: Ruby

Yes! You read that last name right! If you didn’t know I have a younger sister - much younger - and she is a senior this year. What you also may not know is that she’s amazing. She has one of the kindest, most genuine smiles, she’s quick to laugh, thoughtful with her compliments, extraordinarily smart, and absolutely driven. For me, I grew up as the middle of three brothers, but when I was around 16 years old my parents took us out to Dockside at The Coeur d’Alene Resort and told us over desert that they were expecting another child - my youngest brother Eli.

CDA Senior Photos: Lucas Witherow

I had a great time getting to know Lucas over the time of our shoot. From learning about things he’s loved in the past (such as volleyball), to things he loves now (food, time with friends) it all brought more context to who he is, and where he’s going. I’m excited to be able to share some of my favorite photos from his Coeur d’Alene senior photo session.

Coeur d’Alene Senior Photos: Kiefer Stark

What an honor it has been knowing this young man. He’s kind, thoughtful, strong, quick with a laugh and kind word, and absolutely a joy to be around. So being able to spend some extra time with him to take his senior photos was a blessing to me. Kiefer is a gifted athlete, playing soccer and basketball at Christian Center School, he’s also great on the drums, and is someone I genuinely enjoy talking with. I hope I was able to capture some of who he is in these photos, and I hope you love them as well.

Senior Photos: Tapanga Rojas

I met Tapanga several years ago when I had the chance to do her brothers senior photos - Ron. She was smart, cleaver and great at sports then, but now she’s really excelled. I loved our early morning shoot where we got to catch up a bit, get her in her element, and take some great senior photos out by her high school of Timberlake.

Senior Photographer: Cole Harrison's Senior Photos

Around 8 years ago my wife and I started attending a new church. Our amazing son (Isaiah) was only around two years old then. The church was small with some really great families involved, and the Harrisons were one of them. Muir and Julia have been friends ever since, so when Julia contacted me to see if I could take Cole’s senior photos I was pumped. I had known Cole for years, as he attending the youth group my wife and I volunteered at, and I knew him to be smart and witty, and while I hadn’t seen him in a while I wasn’t surprised that this adult version of himself was just as smart and witty as every. He’s someone I’ve always really enjoyed, and I’m so excited that I have the chance to share these photos of him.
