Zoe Carson's Coeur d'Alene Senior Photos

I’ve had the chance to know Zoe for multiple years. It is such a crazy thing to me to watch people grow, mature, and start to learn more and more of what it means to be themselves. I see this in Zoe. She’s strong, thoughtful, and beautiful. Someone who is always great to have around, and I have seen grow and mature in such awesome ways over the years. Being able to take her senior photos was a huge privilege, and it was great being able to talk with her and get to know her even more. I’m excited to share some of my favorites from the shoot.

Dillon Lanphere's Senior Photos in Coeur d'Alene

A couple years ago I met Dillon at his brother Brayden’s wedding which was one of my favorite weddings that last year. That said, their family and that couple stayed in my mind, so when Brayden’s mom reached out to me this year to photograph Dillon’s senior photos, I knew exactly who she was. And boy was I excited, If Dillon was anything like his brother and family, I knew he would be an awesome dude - and I was right. He’s kind, so quick to laugh, easy to talk to, and in some cases, crazy (ask him about his marathon). That said, it was a huge compliment to me to get to capture this young man in some awesome places, and get to know him better. Let me know what you think of these!

Devin's Senior Photos Taken Downtown Coeur d'Alene

I met Devin for the first time when I did his senior photos. He was so kind, thoughtful, and easy to get along with. I had such a great time walking with him and his mom around CDA getting some great photos of him, and i’m so excited to share these photos with you!

CCS Senior: Seth's Senior Photos at Farragut

While I absolutely love doing engagements and families and the like, I also really enjoy doing senior photos. They are so different from all the others because you work with only a single person. In this case, I had the chance to work with Seth. This was awesome in its own right because he’s someone I know outside of photography, I know his heart, likes and dislikes, and a little about who he is. This is always something I love, and being able to capture this incredible human, and his excellent smile, is something I really enjoyed. Here are some of my favorites.

Senior Photographer: Ella's Senior Photos in Coeur d'Alene

A couple of years ago I had the chance to photograph Ella’s sister’s senior photos, so getting the chance to come back and take photos of Ella was a huge compliment. This shoot was a lot of fun too, from exploring a bit of their backyard (which is what I did with her sister) to heading downtown Coeur d’Alene (which I didn’t do) was great for variety’s sake. Not to mention we ended up with such an incredible day weather wise. This photo shoot was a lot of fun, and I absolutely loved getting to know Ella along the way.

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.
