Settlers Creek Wedding: Michael & Misty

They met in Costa Rica. They were there for some coaching and ended up in the same group. They were going through a rapid fire question exercise when Mike noticed Misty - truthfully, she’s hard to miss with those incredibly stunning blue eyes. Mike told me it was like they were “staring into his soul”. This began their friendship - yeah. Their friendship.

Spokane Engagement Photos: Jarrett & Meagan

They met at work. Jarrett said she was the "beautiful" girl that did all the pay checks. But he didn't really have a chance at talking to her much, and their paths didn't cross. In fact, Meagan really didn't even know he existed at this point. Then Jarrett left to go back to school.

Family Photography: Looyenga Family Photos

Today I have the opportunity to introduce you (if you haven’t been already) to the best family i’ve ever met. Seriously, the best. There is no family I love more, there are no kids I love less, there isn’t a wife more beautiful - than appear in this family. This family features the best grandparents, the best uncles, and the best cousins someone could ever hope for. This Is my family. My brothers and sisters, my parents, my nieces and nephews, and of course my incredibly beautiful wife and two boys (and our new dog!). Ever year we go and I attempt the hardest family photo session ever - my own family. So I hope you love them as much as I do, because they are truly beautiful.

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 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.
