Nick & Laura’s Engagement Photos
Recently I met up with Nick and Laura in Sandpoint, Idaho to take some engagement photos for them and I have to say it was quite an interesting experience! This is not a couple that will get accused of taking themselves to seriously and in between the hi-jinx we were able to get some photos along the lines of what you might expect. We started out at a location on Schweitzer mountain and finished up down by Lake Pend Orielle.
Nothing like lightstands and reflectors for some couples jousting!

Connor’s Senior Photos – Moscow Class of 2014
Connor is a senior from the class of 2014 at Moscow High School, we met up in Coeur d’Alene to work together on his senior photos. Since music is such a big part of his life he spent a lot of time during out session with his guitar in his hands.
On our way between locations we came across a great lemonade stand and I could not resist asking permission to take a few portraits with the stand and the young entrepreneur running it.
We finished up with some colorful sunset shots by Lake Coeur d’Alene.

Unfortunately the field we planned to take soccer photos on was being used, we found a backup location . . . I just wish there would have been a net in the goal!

June Bobble Head Portraits
When you use a wide angle lens, like my Canon 17-40, you have to pay close attention to the distortion that is created when you shoot the lens at the wider settings. The distortion is especially prominent when you shoot with a full frame camera body like the Canon 5D III. It is usually recommended that you try to avoid the distortion, especially when taking portraits but instead I have decided to start embracing it to make some fun, intentionally goofy portraits during my senior photo sessions. I have been calling these portraits my “Bobble Head Portraits”, the reason will be blatantly obvious as you view the photos!
The main goal of my senior sessions is to make sure that my clients look great, an important part of achieving that goal is to make sure that we always have a fun time working together and these Bobble Head Portraits are sure to bring a laugh or two. Here are the Bobble Head Portraits from my June senior photo sessions.

Bella’s Rainy Day Senior Photos
This last spring I had a contest offering a free portrait session and digital photo package, Bella won that contest and chose to have senior photos taken. Bella is from Australia and this past year she was a foreign exchange student at Sandpoint High School. There was not a lot of time between her winning the contest and having to depart the states to return home so when her session day turned out to be a rainy one rescheduling was not an option. Instead, I put my Hydrophobia rain gear by Think Tank on the camera and we used some garbage bags to protect the flash and battery pack. Here is a photo of my assistant Pete with our make shift rain gear for the flash.
Our original plan was to take Bella’s photos with some of the buildings, landmarks and locations that are well known in Sandpoint. We were going to start at Scweitzer Mountain Resort, but the clouds were so low that we would have no worthwhile view so instead we just stuck to locations around town. We started out using the Panada Theater as a backdrop, then locations with a view of the Cedar Street Bridge, City Beach Sign, Powerhouse and Long Bridge.
