Family Photographer: The Slovarp Family in Farragut State Park

Clint and Melissa are two people I have enjoyed visiting with from the very day I met them. Getting to photograph their engagement, their wedding, meeting all their friends and family there, and watching one of the biggest moments of their lives. But to then be asked a little later to photograph their maternity photos and family photos was such an incredible honor. So when Melissa told me her whole family was coming out and they wanted to get some more family photos, the idea they thought of me again was such a huge compliment. I’m so excited to share these family photos. What an incredible group of humans these people are.

Skyler and Kristin's Schweitzer Mountain Wedding

Skyler and Kristin are two people I have loved getting to know over the course of their engagement. They are kind, thoughtful, and game for anything (look not further than the side of the mountain photos after the ceremony). I loved watching them dance, getting to know their friends and family, and just being a part of their day. It was beautiful. I hope these photos share a glimpse of what it was like.

Senior Photographers: Madelyn's Senior Photos at Black Bay Park

It was almost a year ago exactly that I met Madalyn for the first time. I had been asked to photograph her family - and her family’s extended family. We had an incredible shoot, it was beautiful, fun, with a lot of amazing people (shout out to the Murley’s!) So when I got an email this year asking me to take photos for Madalyn’s senior year, I was excited. She is kind, easy to talk to, and we even both share a love of books (even if our taste in genre’s isn’t the same). So I hope you love these senior photos, they were so fun, and i’m excited to share them with you!

CDA Senior Photographer: Kenedie Witherow's Senior Photos

A couple years ago I had the chance to meet Kenedie’s brother when I did his senior photos. But she wasn’t here, so going into the shoot all I knew was that Kenedie loved volleyball. Turns out, she doesn’t just love volleyball, but she is also kind, easy to talk to, and has a bright smile - when she’ll show it to me. I absolutely love how these senior photos turned out, from the range we got, to the outfits, to the locations, it was all beautiful and Kenedie made things so easy. I’m excited to share these!

Wedding Photographers: Jesse & Nicole's Elk Point Wedding

Jesse and Nicole are two people i’ve loved talking to - and have some things in common with. I love the story of how they met (check out their engagement blog for that!) and it’s so awesome seeing some people who have taken something that happened a long time ago and make that into something that will continue happening forever. I loved meeting their friends, and spending this incredible day with them. Here are some of my favorite wedding photos from the day.

Coeur d'Alene Family Photographer: The Gilbert Family on Rose Lake

I had the chance to meet up with the Gilbert Family as they spent a mini-family reunion out here in North Idaho, specifically at Rose Lake. Not only did we get a picture-perfect day, at an awesome location, but we also happened to have one awesome family. People that were kind, easy to work with and fun to talk to. This family photo shoot was a lot of fun, and i’m excited to share these with you!
