My Favorite Coeur d’Alene and North Idaho Wedding Venues
When I first started making this list, I have to admit, I struggled a bit. I've photographed more than a few weddings in North Idaho, but many of them have been at private residences - homes that belong to the bride or groom, a family member, or something found through a vacation rental site. Here...

Munich in May
I didn't take very many photos on our recent trip to Munich. We barely went into the city, in fact, we only went in once -- to stroll around Schloss Nymphenburg on a sunny Sunday afternoon. As we wandered along the paths, the beautiful spring sunshine beating down on our shoulders, and the baby...

My Favorite Spokane Area Venues
A few weeks ago, I shared a list of my favorite downtown Spokane wedding venues, which ranged from big ballrooms to intimate parks. Today, I wanted to share my favorite greater Spokane area venues. I started out with some Washington and some Idaho venues, but my list got too long, so I'll be back...

August Recap Post
Our anniversary is this weekend, and the last week of August marked the start of about six straight weeks of crazy around here. But August was surprisingly easy going, and full of snuggles and family time. It was great to get a little break from work, and to spend time with my favorite people! 1....

What to Wear for Family Photos
Last week, I talked about my fall mini sessions. I know a few people from my mailing list said they want to do photos, but are so overwhelmed with what to wear. I completely understand! We had our family photos done in July, and I was so overwhelmed by what to wear - and I'm the expert. I...

July Recap Post
Tomorrow is my birthday, and I'm hoping to take a few minutes to reflect back on the last year, but first I wanted to get this post up! With the heat wave in July, we didn't get much done. Basically, just tried to survive and then it got smokey and I gave up on blogging. 1. This beautiful PN...

June Recap Post
I'm having a moment where I can't believe that it's July, that this week marks four years since we moved back to Spokane, and that June is long gone. We took it pretty easy in June, and did a lot of hanging out around the house, soaking up the nice weather, and going for walks. I've been trying to...

My Favorite Downtown Spokane Wedding Venues
I'm going to confess that I took the easy* way out when we got married, and we decided to host our wedding at a family member's house. It was lovely, and everything I've ever dreamed of, but after four years back in Eastern Washington (no, I can't believe it), I wonder what it would have been like...

Leslie & Drew’s Cave B Winery Elopement
Last year, I got an email from Leslie along the lines of this: We're flying up to the Gorge for the Dave Matthew's concert, and we want to elope. We live in Florida, and we don't know much about the area, but we want beautiful photos. You know how much I love the Gorge, and I was thrilled to...
Photos for Right Now
You confess to me the first time we talk that you're nervous about having your photos taken. You haven't had photos taken since high school, and now you're getting married, post college. Or maybe it was your wedding, that was just a few years ago. Well, the kids are in elementary school now, so...
