CCS Senior: Seth's Senior Photos at Farragut

While I absolutely love doing engagements and families and the like, I also really enjoy doing senior photos. They are so different from all the others because you work with only a single person. In this case, I had the chance to work with Seth. This was awesome in its own right because he’s someone I know outside of photography, I know his heart, likes and dislikes, and a little about who he is. This is always something I love, and being able to capture this incredible human, and his excellent smile, is something I really enjoyed. Here are some of my favorites.

Mt. Spokane Engagement Photos: Clay & Alyssa

They met in McCall. You see, Clay has a bunch of friends that he's been friends with since high school. Over the years, each one of these friends has ended up finding a significant other - except him. That said, he was still invited on trip, and McCall was one of them. The thing is, Clay's a great Skier, and they were all there on a Ski trip. Enter Alyssa, also invited on the trip, also single.

Smokey Wedding up at Schweitzer Mountain Resort: Asif & Ashley

Asif and Ashley have been a lot of fun to get to know since I first met them, and our time up at Schweitzer was no different. I loved being with them, meeting all their friends and family, and getting some awesome photos of them up at the top of one of my favorite mountains. Here are some of my favorite wedding photos from their big day!

Personal: Looyenga Family Goes to North Cascades National Park

One of my goals coming into this summer wasn’t just to capture incredible wedding images or family photos (although that certainly was a goal) it was also to spend more time outside, doing things that I love, with the people that I love. That of course, means being with my family. So when we found a small gap of time in July, we decided to head out and camp for two nights in the North Cascades National Park, which was a park none of us had been to. The trip was much shorter than I had hoped, but absolutely beautiful in so many ways.

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.
