Ever since my oldest son started going to school he has been going to Bryan Elementary (although that changed this year, but that isn’t particularly needed for this story). Anyway, Bryan Elementary is an incredible elementary school near our home downtown Coeur d’Alene. What is important to the story though is that in his class was an incredible young lady named Nora. She was always sweet, kind, and had a beautiful smile. Well last year I had the chance to get a couple photos of Nora, and it was a huge honor to be asked again. It is amazing to me to see how much older kids her age look only a year later. I see my boys all the time and so their growing is less noticeable. Nora has grown a lot since last year, but her smile hasn’t gotten any less amazing.

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.
