Thompson Family

I love getting to know couples and families. Everyone has different stories and backgrounds. For example, Bria is from Maui and has a dance studio in Coeur d’Alene where she not only teaches the standards ballet, tap, etc., but also hula.

I spent a morning with Bria and her family on Tubbs Hill. They recently adopted a puppy and wanted some family photos to send to family at Christmas with their two sweet fur babies.

M+D July 2017 | A Wedding on the River

To describe Megan and Dylan’s wedding in one word, it would be personal. Everything about their wedding day, or weekend rather, was sentimental and intentional. Over 100 of their closest friends and relatives gathered for a weekend to campout along the banks of the Lochsa River in central Idaho.

It was the hottest weekend of the year and there was little respite from the heat. Despite the 100+ degrees, everyone enjoyed spending time together and celebrating an amazing couple.

G+K 2017 | A Greek Elopement

I love being at the age we’re currently at. All our friends are getting married, starting families, and it’s so fun to be a part of. We were fortunate enough to be invited to document one of our best friend’s wedding in Greece and the memories from that trip will last us a lifetime. I was so honored to be a part of such an incredible experience.

An intimate wedding atop a villa rooftop on a Greek island. It was very Mamma Mia.

McVey Family 2018

Nothing beats spring wildflowers, a great view, and a wonderful family. It’s been so fun to watch Brad and Danielle grow their family after moving here several years ago. They are beautiful people inside and out, and their daughter is just adorable. Being able to document a family’s story as they grow and change together is the best.

S+E December 21 2018

Elopements are officially my new favorite thing. Close, intimate, and extremely romantic. Shanna and Eric invited me up to Sandpoint to document their wedding day. I had worked with Shanna before when I photographed their fur babies, Jack and Moose, last fall. We hit it off and asked if I’d come up again for their wedding.

I love being a part of these special moments, and being able to preserve them for my clients. It truly is a gift.

Derek | Class of 2019

I had such a blast working with Derek. We picked a perfect, sunny day to go hang out in the woods. Idahoan born and raised, Derek felt at home on the trails and shore of Blue Creek Bay. While he of course loves having a good time, Derek has a strong, reserved demeanor and we wanted to make sure that carried over in his senior portraits.

Thanks for the great day, Derek!

D+M, July 7 2018

Drew and Mara’s wedding was the perfect blend of fun, tradition and eclectic. I was so thrilled to work with these beautiful humans. I’ve known Drew and Mara via some mutual friends for several years. They are two kind, caring individuals and some of the most unique people I know. Their wedding showed this perfectly.

Also, Mara’s dress was mind-blowingly beautiful.

O'brien Family Session

I’ve known Caitlyn and Aaron for several years now, and have loved watching them grow as a family. Knowing their love of the outdoors, I decided to take them to one of my favorite hiking trails.

For me, one of the most important things about working with families, is creating and capturing memories. When Caitlyn and Aaron look at these images 10-plu years from now, I hope they remember how great their little girl did, and how much fun they had walking around and enjoying the beautiful scenery.
