This past fall, I got to photograph my nephew Gage’s senior portraits! Just typing those words, I can hardly believe it! Gage was just 5-years-old when I started dating Allan, and now, he is this tall, handsome man about to graduate high school!

Holy moly, how is this even possible?!?! It seems like yesterday and a lifetime ago all at the same time, I was photographing Pierre + Alisha’s wedding. That was back in the fall of 2014, and look at them now! They have THREE ridiculously darling boys, Pierre, Waylon, and Wes. They are bonafide country boys, and can prove it with their belt buckles. Pierre is an absolute little mini-me of his dad, and Waylon of his mom. And their little Wes? You’ll just want to put him in your pocket and SQUEEZE him!

This was my last wedding of the 2023 season, and it was one for the books! Ian and Maci had THE most gorgeous wedding day at Grangeville Oaks. This was my first time shooting at this venue, and it was abolstuely incredible – full of gorgeous oak trees, surrounded by acres and acres of vineyards, and rustic details that made my heart go pitter patter.

Just when I thought this crew couldn’t get any CUTER, they have a little girl, and blow my cuteness meter right out of the water! Summer joined the de Jong family a few months ago, and it is clear to see this little one is oh-SO-loved. And its easy to see why! Her little smiles will melt you, and don’t even get me started on her outfit!!!

This wedding was such a special one, one I have been looking forward to for over a year! Partly because I have known William and his family for years…I took William’s 8th grad graduation pics! And also because, William and Alexa have loved eachother for YEARS! They have known eachother since eighth grade, dated through college, graduate programs, moves, careers, and long distance. Through it all, there love for each other remained tried-and-true.

Oh, how I adore this family! What a sweet treat to capture them together again while I was down in California this past fall. The last time I saw them, their little Eleanor was just one, so it was so fun getting to see them all again!

You might remember Cole & Lizzy from their engagement session, more especially their love story. One that goes back to their high school days, where Cole had a crush on Lizzy, and Lizzy had no idea. That is, until years later, while attending WSU together, and Cole would confess his feelings on their late night walks back to campus. He eventually won her heart, and together, they planned the most amazing wedding day in Sandpoint.

Just when I thought this family couldn’t get any sweeter, they go and get an Aussiedoodle and BAM – super sweet! I adore this family so much, and have loved getting to capture their family portratis over the years.

I had been looking forward to this day since the very first time I met Peter and Kathryn. They are two of the kindest, most genuine souls. Not only that, but when Kathryn mentioned they’d be incorporating some of her Greek family tradition as well as some of Peter’s Jewish family traditions into their wedding day, I was ecstatic!

The Arnold family is growing! I had the honor of capturing Chris and Chelsie’s wedding back in 2016, and they have since welcomed their sweet Own, who just turned one and…is about to be a big brother! Chris and Chelsie are expecting a baby GIRL in August, and I couldn’t be more excited for them!
