Doing family photos is always an interesting experience. You see so much about a family - how are the kids? how are the parents? How excited are the kids to take photos? I absolutely love watching the kids get excited about it, loving looking at the photos on the back of my camera (something I do often), and just having a good time. I had the chance to meet this amazing family earlier this summer, and what an honor it is to share these memories, these smiles, with you. What a beautiful family.

Coeur d'Alene Family Photos: The Zimmerman Family

The Zimmerman family is one that I met the day we did the shoot. They were so kind, thoughtful, and were so easy to get along with. I loved visiting with them, hearing where their two sons were headed in life, and just getting to know these four people (and there little dog) a little bit better. I’m pumped I get to share these family photos with you.

Family Photographer in CDA: The Sellers Family

I had the opportunity to drive out and meet the Sellers family earlier this summer and they were awesome! Not only are they kind and thoughtful, but they were so easy to get along with, laugh with, and talk to. I loved getting to capture this beautiful family, and i’m pumped I get to share these photos with you.

Family Photos on the Lake: The Reed Family

I had the chance to meet the Reed family when I pulled up at their house the day of this shoot. They (and a bunch of other family members) and traveled up to Sandpoint Idaho to have a big family get together. This family is so beautiful. I couldn’t help but think about how family’s grow and each develop their own unique character as I was editing this photo. All this happened because two people fell in love. They had some kids who in turn fell in love and decided they wanted to bless the world with some amazing kids. I truly enjoyed my time with this large, beautiful family, and i’m so excited I get to share these photos with you.

Family Photography: The Lanterman Family

A couple years ago I had the chance to finally meet the Lanterman family. They were guests at a wedding I was photographing and It was great to finally meet them (we had mutual friends, but I had never actually met them). I asked them if I could take a picture of their beautiful family and they told me later that they printed that photo out and hung it in their house. Such an honor to be able to capture something like that, something that doesn't take much time, but is infinitely valuable as your kids grow up and life moves on. So when they asked me to come out and get some more pictures of their family (plus some of their extended family), I was so excited. Jackson and Becky are just great people, kind, thoughtful, and fun to talk to. I’m so happy I could capture their now family of 5, and keep those priceless memories on their walls.

Coeur d'Alene Family: The Griswold's Get Family Photos!

I met Brian and Caitlin for the first time during this shoot. One thing was obvious right away, this beautiful family is kind, quick to smile, and so easy to get along with. Brian and Caitlin recently had their first child (Gideon) and while he spent some of the time staring me down, he’s also got an absolutely beautiful smile. What an honor it was for me to be able to photograph this new family of three, and i’m so excited to share these family photos with you!
