Coeur d'Alene Family Photographer: The Shriner Family

About a year and a month ago I was with two amazing people in Mexico as they got married. The wedding was incredible, not just for photos, but because of the people there. So many kind people, with great energy and a love for life. So when I found out that Nick and Brianna were expecting TWINS, I couldn’t have been more happy for them. I love these two. And if you know them, you know when I say that it’s just fun to spend time with them, you know i’m telling the truth. I can’t wait to see their beautiful baby boys (and boy will they be beautiful!) But until then, I can show you these.

2019 Review: Favorite Engagement Photos

With so many things changing, my next two months look very different from in years past. Things have been different (no doubt) and i’ve never had such a gap in content for the blog. That said, it means I get the chance to share some more favorites with you, and in this case, my favorite engagement photos from 2019. Engagement photos are awesome, for so many reasons.

2019 Senior Photos

Last year I had the privilege of photographing a bunch of high school seniors. I love doing senior photos, because it’s different, there is a lot of creativity involved, and we are working to capture them, who they are, and what they love. I could be doing photos with cars, balls, or nothing at all, but every time it’s a challenge. This years seniors have another thing that has changed it all, as so many of these seniors never got to finish their senior year.

2019 Review: Some Favorite Sunset Wedding Photos from 2019

As a wedding photographer, i’m faced with a lot of challenges every wedding day. What type of lighting will we have for portraits, for the ceremony? What does the reception look like? Is there going to be a sunset, and if so, where will that take place? The thing is, not every venue has a great view of a sunset (some have mountains in the way) and others may end up with weather that prevents the sunset. So often we then need to ask, “is it still worth it?” For me, the answer is always yes.

Best Photographer 2020 - Thank You!

About a month ago I got a phone call. The kind person on the other end told me that you guys voted me the best photographer in the area. I haven’t been able to share this information until recently, and i’m so pumped to be able to share it with you now. Last year was something special, and it was each one of you wonderful people that made it that way.

Year in Review - The 2018 Wedding Season

Yeah, you read that right, i’m publishing a 2018 wedding season review in 2020. Nice. What the heck is happening here, you may ask? It’s a good question. The thing is, 2019 is a beast in it’s own right, and I can’t wait to share the photos I took last year with you. Because 2019 was such a blessing, and had so many weddings I never had the chance to post this one in 2019. So I wanted to share the photos I took from 2018, because that was an awesome year, with incredible moments, and beautiful locations, and amazing couples. So here is a very small selection of my favorite photos from 2018.
