A couple years ago I had the huge privilege of taking Chris and Jennifer’s wedding photos. It was such a beautiful wedding, with some unique twists that i’ve never seen before (such as floating down the river in Tubes to their reception) and one that I fondly think of. So when Jennifer reached out to me and asked if I would be willing to come out to their town and take some pictures of them in their home-under-construction I was pumped. Not only because I enjoy talking with them, but because it’s a type of shoot i’ve never done before. We did some photos on their driveway and around the beautiful property, and then did some inside the house. What an amazing idea, and i’m so pumped I get to share these with you! I hope you love them.

Spokane Family Photographer: The Odeh Family

This family is something special. Seriously, the Odeh family is one of those families I enjoy seeing, talking to, and laughing with. Going back to their engagement photos, their wedding, and the maternity photos I took with them before their first child was born, I have always enjoyed these two. So when I got an email from Caitlin asking me to capture some maternity photos before their second child came, I was so honored. It’s something i’ve been seeing more (my wedding clients growing families) and it’s hard not to be floored with appreciation. I get to be there, I get to see, not just the beginning, but the follow through. I get to see the incredible families that their wedding started - that was born from their commitment to each other. I absolutely love it. Here’s to the Odeh family, and everything they are, I couldn’t be happier for them.

Coeur d'Alene Family Photographer: Roush Family

The Roush family had the honor of doing family photos when it was about 15 degrees outside. Yes, it was quite cold. But, the benefit to that timing was we got some incredible, beautiful snow. Great winter outfits, and a lot of cold jokes. I truly enjoyed meeting this family, and i’m so excited I get to share the photos with you.

Spokane Family Photographer: The Traw Family

Jack and Lauren are a couple of incredible people. I found this out when I had the chance to do their engagement photos. Since then I’ve had the chance to photograph their wedding, as well as anniversary photos. But now, these two incredible people and their family has grown by one more, and I am SO excited to get the share with you some of the photos I got as they spent time with each other at their beautiful home.

Coeur d'Alene Photographer: Davis Family Photos

I only had the chance to spend a little bit of time with this amazing family. Not only are they beautiful, but we got an incredible day as well. I would say these photos look deceptive to how cold it actually was, but the day was beautiful, and I loved visiting with them. Family photos are always something I really enjoy photographing and the Davis Family helped remind me why.

Family Photographer: Epperson Family Photos

One of the coolest things about being a wedding photographer is that so often you get to be there when it all starts. Doing engagement photos you get to hear the couples story - how they met - and the journey that led them to say “I want you and no other”. Then you get to be there for that commitment, that wedding, the joy and family. But then, a couple years later you see on social that that incredible couple is expecting a child, and it’s so great to see that family grow. Then, if i’m really lucky, I get to photograph that family as it grows. Kevin and Alex are this family. Being able to be there for their engagement photos, wedding, and now their growing family has been an incredible honor for me, and it’s always so great every time I get to see them.
