Zoe Carson's Coeur d'Alene Senior Photos

I’ve had the chance to know Zoe for multiple years. It is such a crazy thing to me to watch people grow, mature, and start to learn more and more of what it means to be themselves. I see this in Zoe. She’s strong, thoughtful, and beautiful. Someone who is always great to have around, and I have seen grow and mature in such awesome ways over the years. Being able to take her senior photos was a huge privilege, and it was great being able to talk with her and get to know her even more. I’m excited to share some of my favorites from the shoot.

Daniel and Stacey's Downtown Spokane Engagement

Daniel was not, going to un-match her. And they would in fact go on another date, and another. Eventually they would decide that each of them was who they always wanted to be with. Now they are getting married! And I get to be the one to capture their wedding that I know will be so beautiful. I had so much fun with these two at their engagement, between the small jokes Daniel would make, to talking about real things, it was an absolute blast. Such a kind and thoughtful couple, and I'm excited to get to know them more.

Mark and Anna's Beacon Hill Wedding

Mark and Anna are kind people, and watching them bring their two families together was a blessing. They are both thoughtful, and wanted to include their kids in all the aspects of their wedding. This included things like keeping them at the head table next to them as they ate, and having them be a part of their first look and ceremony. It was beautiful, and I absolutely loved seeing it. While the weather this day was cool overcast, it made for some beautiful colors and light, and Beacon Hill shined as it always does. I’m excited to be able to share these select photos with you, as they are some of my favorites that tell the story of their day - from beginning to end.

The German-Murry Family

Being able to see the German-Murry family again this October was an absolute privilege. They are always so kind, thoughtful and so easy to talk to. Being able to photograph them since before they had any kids, and watching their beautiful family grow has been one of the highlights for me as a photographer. It is with that that I am so excited to be able to share these family photos of this beautiful, kind, growing family.

Dan and Kaylene's Spokane Lake Wedding

Dan and Kaylene had an amazing wedding. Set at a very beautiful venue (a venue which is still trying to decide if they want to be well known or not) with a great view of Lake Spokane, it seemed like everything went exactly the way you’d want it to. People were all there - on time - the light was beautiful and the couple even more so. I loved meeting each of their family members, from their kids, to their kids’ families, each person I met was kind and thoughtful. This wedding was a lot of fun because of these people, but even more so because Dan and Kaylene are just great people. Look no further than their many toasts, and all the stories that came with them. Here are some of my favorites from their wedding.

Dillon Lanphere's Senior Photos in Coeur d'Alene

A couple years ago I met Dillon at his brother Brayden’s wedding which was one of my favorite weddings that last year. That said, their family and that couple stayed in my mind, so when Brayden’s mom reached out to me this year to photograph Dillon’s senior photos, I knew exactly who she was. And boy was I excited, If Dillon was anything like his brother and family, I knew he would be an awesome dude - and I was right. He’s kind, so quick to laugh, easy to talk to, and in some cases, crazy (ask him about his marathon). That said, it was a huge compliment to me to get to capture this young man in some awesome places, and get to know him better. Let me know what you think of these!
