Summers are for family reunions, and what a great time for a photography session! You know you’ve had an awesome photo session when you decide to jump in the water with your clothes on (: or maybe that just let’s you know how hot it was! Late June, this evening was a scorcher! And during wildfire season and the smokey orange glow made for some pretty epic color saturations…could I get this color situation without the destruction please?

Family Reunion Photographer in Coeur d'Alene, Idaho

A JUMP IN THE LAKE FAMILY RENUION | COEUR D’ALENE AND SPOKANE FAMILY PHOTOGRAPHER

This family’s Lake Coeur d’Alene house was built in 1893, by Grandpa Jack’s great-great grandfather. Family portraits on the steps of this historic gem have been a yearly tradition. I am so honored to have been asked to be this year’s photographer. Three generations together at a home that’s been in the family for six generations, ah, so incredibly special! Thank you Porter Family for choosing me to photograph you all this year, I hope to get the opportunity next year too!
