Coeur d'Alene Family Photos: The Dotts Family

A couple years ago I had the chance to photograph Brock and Amanda’s wedding in Sandpoint. It was an incredible wedding that was beautiful, filled with amazing people and moments. It was a highlight for me that year. I’ve had the chance to see them a couple times since then (like at her maid of honors wedding in 2020, which was equally awesome), but when I got an email from her this fall telling me about how they were expecting, I was so excited for them! Even more so, they wanted me to get some photographs so they could announce it to everyone. What an honor. I’m so excited for Brock and Amanda and their upcoming beautiful family of 4 (because you have to count the dog).

Family Photography: The Adrian Family Photos!

This is the third (or fourth, depending on how you count) time i’ve had the chance to take some pictures of this amazing family. First time was before they were expecting, but later when these two beautiful children were very small. Since then i’ve had the chance to see them grow (albeit in spurts) and it’s an amazing thing. This is an awesome family, Cory and Katie are two people I have always highly enjoyed and think highly of. What an honor it is for me to share some photos of their beautiful and amazing family.

Coeur d'Alene Family Photos: Nora

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.
