Jeremy’s Senior Photos (Priest River Photographer)
I have a lot of fun working with Jeremy on his Senior photos, we had a beautiful Mercury Cougar to use for the photos and then took an ATV ride to a location overlooking the the Pend Orielle River.
Priest River’s 2012 Distinguished Young Women
The 2012 Distinguished Young Women program in Priest River featured 10 talented young ladies, all of which did a great job.

Here are a few photos from the event, for the entire gallery and to order prints please visit my website at this link: http://bit.ly/InksRr

Megan’s Senior Photos – (Sandpoint Photographer)
Recently I worked with Megan to create her Senior Portraits, we started at her home and them took a trip to Garfield Bay to finish up our session.
In Megan’s back yard stands the playhouse that was build by her father when she was little, unfortunately it was used very little ever since the discovery of a spider inside many years ago. We braved the risk of spiders and I set up a flash inside the small building as well as one outside aimed through the window. Since the building as well as it’s furnishings were now very small compared to the now adult sized Megan I kept thinking of Alice in Wonderland growing too large for the house she found herself in. The cards hanging on the wall, minus the Queen of Hearts, seemed quite fitting!
Awana Fun Fair Photo Booth (Sandpoint Photographer)
This last Friday night was the Kootenai Community Church Awana Fun fair. This annual event it a lot of fun as area kids fill the old church building playing carnival style games, getting their faces painted and of course getting wild and crazy from all the sugar in the cotton candy! This year I had opportunity to participate by bringing some of our props and setting up the photo booth. The booth was a lot of fun and we took a lot of really fun photos, here is a sampling of the over 600 photos taken over the course of the evening.
And finally, what will probably end up being one of the favorite photos among the members of Kootenai Community Church, Pastor Jim visited the booth and he sported one of our finest wigs!
KCC Class of 2012 (Sandpoint Photographer)
The class of 2012 from my church, Kootenai Community Church, will be having a special graduation ceremony in June and they needed a photo of the group for the invitations. Being spring in North Idaho scheduling a photo shoot with just one person can be hard, add in the often conflicting schedules of 5 busy seniors and you can imagine how hard it might be. We ended up rescheduling our shoot due to weather or illness at least half a dozen times, but then by what some people would call luck and others providence we had a short break in the rain on a Sunday afternoon and we were able to finally get our photographs. Here are a few from the afternoon.
Ginger Knits Fiber Studio (Sandpoint Photographer)
Ginger Knits Fiber Studio is working toward launching their website and today I had an opportunity to work with some adorable models as we did a few product shots. If these don’t put a smile on your face I think you should seriously think about talking to a medical professional!

Bribing Teenagers (Sandpoint Photographer)
Yesterday I worked with Tim on his senior photos, the second location that we went to was almost perfect, the only problem was that we were not there first. As you can see in these two test shots a few Teens had claim to the spot that I wanted to use as a backdrop.
As you can see having them in the background does distract a bit from Tim so I thought maybe I might be able to bribe them into vacating their location for a few minutes while I captured some images. Of course they all have Facebook accounts so I offered to take their portrait for them to use on Facebook. Here is the payment of my debt to these five teens that were so gracious.
Kelsey Bradbury – Class of 2013 (Priest River Photographer)
This last Saturday I spent a good part of the day with Kelsey taking the first round of her Senior Photos at her grandparents’ home near Priest River. Kelsey’s Grandfather graciously set up some hay bales for us to use and they worked out great! You would not have even known it was 40 degrees out as Kelsey braved the cold in a sun dress, cowboy boots and for a few photos her dad’s hat.
Since it was a bit chilly still we are reserving most of our outdoor portraits for the warmer, greener months and spent the majority of our time on some studio style portraits.
The last part of our session we broke out the uniforms and did some sports themed portraits.
I had a great time spending the day with Kelsey, her Mom Sandy and Grandmother Jeanie. We had a lot of laughs and a lot of fun, I can hardly wait for the weather to get nicer so we can schedule round number two!
Priest River’s “Suessical” (Priest River Photographer)
