Shelley and Jake's Downtown CDA Engagement

The first time Jake saw Shelley, she caught his eye. He thought "no chance she's alone." of course, no one was with her at the time, but surely a guy would walk up at any moment. So he kept one eye on her as he browsed the farmers market downtown Coeur d'Alene. She would later make her way over to the Bouey to get a drink, and again, she was alone. Jake had a choice to make - man up and go talk to her - or leave. He decided to step out and try to talk to her, walking up and asking her if he could buy her glass of wine.

Jeremy and Luna's Christmas Engagement in Coeur d'Alene

The first time they met was when Luna moved in next door. At first, neither one of them thought the other was interested - at all. They started to hang out, but it was mostly games, or shows, but again, almost zero interest. Luna decided she liked Jeremy - that is, thought he'd be fun to hang out with - when he came over to her place to help her move some furnature. She told me that she thought he was pretty spunky, in that when she told him where she wanted the couch he responded with something like "you're going to put it THERE". He wasn't afraid to be himself, and to joke around with her in his own way.

The Morman Family Photos

Last year I had the chance to do Eric and Magda’s engagement photos and wedding photos. So when Eric called me up this year and asked if I wanted to take some photos of their family (now featuring the beautiful little dog!) I was 100% on board. These are two people I have always enjoyed talking to, from the first time we met at the coffee shop to the very end of their wedding day - they have just been great people. So I hope you love some of these family photos! They are just a couple highlights.

Rainy Christmas Engagement with Jared and Aubrey

They met in college. At the time, Aubrey had a boyfriend, so Jared and her didn't really talk much. Her first thought of Jared was that he was "a little nerdy" to which Jared said was "fair" and that he was the guy that "knew Hebrew" - which Ironically he didn't know much then - although he knows much more now. Jared, for his part, didn't really notice Aubrey much - he said he purposefully kept his distance because he knew she had a boyfriend.

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!
