Photographers in Coeur d'Alene: Yergler Family Photos

A long time ago I used to attend a college group at Real Life Ministries. There I met some of the best people in my life, people I loved, people I had great friendships with, and people who have made my life better. Among these friends i’ve found people like my best friend Brent Billings (whom many of you have met) and my absolutely incredible and beautiful wife Crystal. But among that same group I also knew Hank and Mandi. I remember when they were first dating - and when they got married. I also remember when their first born son (Topper) was born, and Truit followed along not too long after. This family is literally one i’ve seen grow from the beginning (even if I wasn’t taking photos back then). So when Hank and Mandi asked me if I would take their family photos, it was a huge honor. Not just because i’ve had the chance to do it before (and anytime someone asks again, it’s a huge compliment) but because they have been a family that has hugely blessed mine. I love these guys, and i’m so excited that I get to share some photos of these beautiful people.

Family Photos in CDA: The Dero Family

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.
