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 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.

Gabe and Mary's Family Photos!

It’s crazy to me to think that Gabe and Mary’s wedding was a couple of YEARS ago, which just blows my mind. Their wedding was amazing for so many reasons, but to be contacted later and asked to photograph their growing family was such a huge compliment. Being able to be there for the engagement, wedding, and then watch a family grow? Man. It was so great to see them and their absolutely beautiful daughter. But now I have the chance to share these family photos! I hope you all love them as much as I loved taking them.

Dorame Family Photos Near Coeur d'Alene

I only had the chance to meet a couple of the Dorame family members before our shoot, so getting to meet their whole family of four was a huge privilege. They were so easy to get along with, quick to smile and so photogenic. What a privilege being able to get some great photos of this beautiful family.

Christmas Family Photos with the Hockers

I only had the chance to meet the Hocker family the day we did their family shoot. We got lucky with no rain, and semi-warm weather. It was beautiful. That said, I had an absolute blast getting to know this family of five, more if you count grandma and gramps and the beautiful girlfriend who also came along. We had a lot of fun, with some great personality, and i’m excited to be able to share them with you.
