Zach’s Senior Photos

June 14, 2013/in Senior Photos /by Jason Duchow

Zach is a senior in the class of 2014 from Lake City High School, we took his senior photos at two different locations in the Coeur d’Alene area. The first location was a spot that he has enjoyed visiting for many years. While we were there someone set off what sounded like an M80 which prompted the property owner to send an entourage to find out who was setting off fireworks on their property. We benefited from this as they parked their classic Toyota Land Cruiser right by where were were taking photos so naturally we had to make use of it as a prop!

Aaron’s Senior Photos

June 14, 2013/in Senior Photos /by Jason Duchow

Aaron is a Senior who lives in Iowa but during a visit to North Idaho in June I had the pleasure of working with him to create some senior photos that just cannot be created in Iowa! We started out at a location on Schweitzer with a great view of Lake Pend Orielle and then visited a couple of locations around the Sandpoint City Beach as well as the Lake.

Thank you to Century 21 Realtor Eric Skinner for access to this great view. I you like the view the property we took these photos from is currently on the market visit the following link to find Eric’s contact information: http://realestate.sandpoint.com/EricSkinner.asp

Taylor’s Senior Photos

June 9, 2013/in Senior Photos /by Jason Duchow

Taylor is very no stranger to being in front of my camera, for the last two years he has been my main assistant for portrait sessions and weddings, this last year he was also a senior and we have been working on his senior photos the entire year. Yes, we did have an official senior session this spring but we have also been building up his senior photo portfolio here and there through out the year.

Here is Taylor hard at work during our senior session with James

Let’s get on with some of the photos from his official senior portrait shoot.

Here is a test shot that I took of Taylor before a portrait session that he liked enough to include wit his senior photos

Here are a couple of shots we took at the end of a shoot in Priest River

Lastly, my favorite shot of Taylor. We finished up a fun session and decided to mess around and test Taylor’s acting skills, his job was to pretend he was running away from a speeding train. What do you think, did he sell it?

Pete’s Junkyard Portraits and More

June 8, 2013/in Senior Photos /by Jason Duchow

Pete and I worked together on two different occasions to make his senior photos. The first time around we did some junkyard portraits with the goal of creating something a little edgy and dramatic followed by a few football themed portraits.

Our second session this spring was focused on getting the “softer side” of Pete which just did not fit well with the locations of our first session. For the second session we were in Montana. Pete went along with me to assist on another senior photo shoot and then afterwards we found a number of locations that worked great, the first of which could not have been more appropriate. Yes, that sign really does say Pete Creek, no Photoshop trickery here!

Lastly, here are a few other shots of Pete that I took during some of the other occasions that he filled in for my regular assistant and helped out on a shoot.

Daranie’s Senior Photos – Session #1

June 7, 2013/in Senior Photos /by Jason Duchow

Daranie is going to be a senior at Priest River High School and is one of my Class of 2014 Senior Models, for her first session with me we worked on her senior photos at the ranch of a family friend. We had a great time and had the sun not set could have kept going for hours, but as you will see with photos from the end of our session I am very glad that the sun did indeed set because the sunset made for an amazing backdrop for the final part of our session.

June 3, 2013/in Senior Photos, Sports Action Portraits, Sports Portraits /by Jason Duchow

Recently I had the pleasure to meet up with Arielle Walden, a three time 100 Meter Hurdle State Champion in Washington State for Newport High School. This year she was competing in three events, the 100 Meter Hurdles, the Long Jump and the Triple Jump. She brought home gold in both the Hurdles and the Triple Jump and a silver in the Long Jump leading Newport to an 8th place team finish as the lone competitor for the team! Here are my favorite shots from our evening together.

Kiernan’s Senior Photos – Sandpoint Photographer

March 15, 2013/in Senior Photos /by Jason Duchow

Kiernan is an avid skier and wanted to wait until Schweitzer mountain in Sandpoint, Idaho was covered with snow before he had his senior photos taken. We had a great day for photos with some good drama in the sky and such a great location overlooking lake Pend Orielle.

We started out with some poses with his skis the next two shots were the same pose from different directions but they are both processed a little bit differently in photoshop so I decided to include them both.

The location we were at had a great view of the valley and mountains but then when we turned around the other direction there was a rock cliff that when put out of focus made a nice natural backdrop.

We lucked out with a rare partly sunny January day for this fun family portrait shoot near Newport. The bright sun and highly reflective snow creates it’s share of photographic challenges but the rewards can be so much fun!

Fall Family Portraits (Sandpoint Idaho Photographer)

December 27, 2012/in Children's Portraits, Family Photos /by Jason Duchow

These photos were shot back in early October with the plans of using them for Christmas cards and gifts, so as to not be the Grinch that stole the surprise I have waited until after Christmas to publish them! We had such a great combination of colors for this early fall family photos shoot, with the use of a nice big diffuser we were able shoot almost exclusively with natural light which makes life much simpler when you are photographing a family with three kiddos!

Austin’s Senior Photos (Sandpoint Photographer)

December 10, 2012/in Senior Photos, Sports Portraits /by Jason Duchow

Austin is the keeper for the 2012 4A State Champion Sandpoint Soccer team and we worked together at the end of August to capture some images for his senior photos in. Now that the season is over I was able to get his final choices and work up a blog post. As I often do we spent the first half of our time getting the more traditional yearbook friendly photos, then when we had those finished we concluded with some more dramatically lit soccer themed photos and some action portraits.
