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.

Mount Spokane Engagement: Tyler & Daniele

They met in class. Tyler first noticed her when she came walking into class - frazzled and in a hurry. It was an early morning class, and getting there on time is a challenge for anyone. What they quickly realized, however, was that they both lived in the same apartment building. And would soon start car pooling with each other to various things. But I'm jumping ahead here, because Daniele never really noticed Tyler in class - it wasn't until a pool party later that they were both at that she noticed the "mysterious" man, things she had heard about but hadn't actually known were true.

Eastern Washington Country Wedding: Joe & Nicki

Joe and Nicki had a wedding out in the country, with horses and fields and barns and everything you would expect from a beautiful country wedding. Their wedding was beautiful, from the small little details (like the feather earrings that Nicki wore) to the big details (like the TWENTY FOUR bridesmaids and groomsman they had). Their wedding was saturated with personality, laughter, and good times. I had a blast with these two, and i’m so excited I get to share their wedding photos with you.

Coeur d'Alene Senior Photographer: Savannah Repsch

A couple years ago I had the chance to meet Savannah when I photographed her older brother David’s senior photos. She was that amazing young woman who came along on the shoot, helped him with his (many) shoes, and was an incredible sister. So a couple years later I was PUMPED when I got an email from her amazing mom asking me to photographer her senior photos as well. What a joy. She’s quick to laugh, with a beautiful smile, and ready to have a great time. I really enjoyed taking her senior photos, and am pumped to share them with you here.

Coeur d'Alene Photographer: Taylor & Tabitha's Settlers Creek Wedding

Taylor and Tabitha had an incredible wedding at Settlers Creek. So many great moments, from the first look, to the beautiful ceremony, to the dances and fireworks on the beach afterward (which we were the only ones there for). Taylor and Tabitha just had a beautiful day, filled with so many amazing things. They continued the streak of amazing sunsets at Settlers Creek, and I’m so happy I get to have the chance to share these photos with you guys.

Senior Photographer: Danika's Senior Photos

Danika is an incredible young woman. She’s strong, athletic, and has a beautiful bright smile. She’s quick to laugh, driven and super easy to talk to. I really enjoyed my time getting to know her just a little better, and i’m so excited that I can share some of my favorite photos from her killer senior photo session we had earlier this year.
