Personal: Looyenga Family Goes to North Cascades National Park

One of my goals coming into this summer wasn’t just to capture incredible wedding images or family photos (although that certainly was a goal) it was also to spend more time outside, doing things that I love, with the people that I love. That of course, means being with my family. So when we found a small gap of time in July, we decided to head out and camp for two nights in the North Cascades National Park, which was a park none of us had been to. The trip was much shorter than I had hoped, but absolutely beautiful in so many ways.

Coeur d'Alene Photographer: Tyler and Krystal's Tubbs Hill Sunset Engagement

They met in Jr. High - but weren't super close friends. They talked, hung out, but it wasn't like Tyler was calling up Krystal in the evening to see if she wanted to go hang out. They did, however, share the same friend group. It was this way all the way through high school, and once high school ended - so did their friendship. Well, kind of. Just like so often happens, after high school they just didn't see each other very much. This was true until they saw each other at a barn party one of their friends was throwing.

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.
