Coeur d'Alene Family Photographer: The Shriner Family

About a year and a month ago I was with two amazing people in Mexico as they got married. The wedding was incredible, not just for photos, but because of the people there. So many kind people, with great energy and a love for life. So when I found out that Nick and Brianna were expecting TWINS, I couldn’t have been more happy for them. I love these two. And if you know them, you know when I say that it’s just fun to spend time with them, you know i’m telling the truth. I can’t wait to see their beautiful baby boys (and boy will they be beautiful!) But until then, I can show you these.

Best Photographer 2020 - Thank You!

About a month ago I got a phone call. The kind person on the other end told me that you guys voted me the best photographer in the area. I haven’t been able to share this information until recently, and i’m so pumped to be able to share it with you now. Last year was something special, and it was each one of you wonderful people that made it that way.

Coeur d'Alene Family Photographer - The Walter Family

Several years ago I photographed a wedding for Chris and Bryanna - two people I have come to know and love dearly - in that wedding party was an incredibly beautiful, energetic, kind bridesmaid (actually, the whole bridal party was pretty awesome, but this isn't about them). Anyway, her name was Jessica. Over the years she has gotten married - to an equally kind and thoughtful guy named Greg - and had an incredibly beautiful child. When they asked me if I could photograph their new family, I was so excited. The day we ended up with was perfect (for mid February that is), we actually had sun, and it wasn’t below freezing. In short, it was beautiful. I love the photos I got, and i’m so excited for this beautiful family.

Coeur d'Alene Family Photographer: The Epperson Family

I say it’s the Epperson family but really the names are all over the board. But that’s not the point, the point is that this amazing woman named Rosey Epperson grew up, got married, and then had three amazing daughters. Those daughters then went and got married and had some kids of their own. And some of those kids went out and got married, and they had kids of their own. So on this sparkly night downtown Coeur d’Alene, this photographer had the chance to photograph such an incredible family. These aren’t all the “combinations” we went with, or even all the individual family units. These are just some of my favorites.

Spokane Family Photographer: Nora's Adventure

I met Nora last year when she was part of my son’s kindergarten class. There’s something magnetic about her beautiful smile, and calm personality (at least, what i’ve experienced). She’s an amazing little girl, and capturing her at this point in her life was priceless.

Spokane Family Photographer: The Kacelek Family

I’ve had the privilege of knowing the Kacelek family for several years now (even more if you count how I know Heidi, whom I went to school with back in high school). They are so kind and quick to laugh. So taking some family photos for them this fall was a huge privilege, and i’m so excited that I get to share them with you now.
