Erin’s Senior Photos (Sandpoint Photographer)

/in /by

Erin wanted an urban look to her senior photos and I was happy to oblige.  We had a great spot with a number of different options for us and even got a little creative with the lighting.

On the rest of the photos for this post we used some colored gels on two flashes to create a colored backdrop.

For this last photo we took it a step further.  I set up a couple of gelled lights for the background and then shot one flash through some lattice work to try to give a very different look to the photo by intentionally casting some patterned shadows.

Stearns Family (Sandpoint Photographer)

/in , /by

Recently I met up with the Stearns family to shoot their family photos.  We worked on some different group shots and also took each of the kids “School Pictures”.  Rather than the ordinary school photos, this year the family saved those pennies so they could get some more unique portraits when we did the family photos.  Rather than give each of them the same background and pose, we worked to try to give each of them their own unique photo that showed something of their personality.  This was a fun challenge and I think we came up with something fun for each of them.  Here are some of my favorites from afternoon.

2011 World Wide Photo Walk: Sandpoint, Idaho

/in , /by

This weekend the 4th annual Scott Kelby World Wide Photo Walk is taking place.  Saturday, October 1st I led one of the almost 12,000 walks world wide in Sandpoint.  It was a lot of fun to meet and get to know many of the walkers that participated and  I am looking forward to seeing the photos that they were able to capture!  Here are my favorite shots from the afternoon.

Nick’s Senior Photos (Sandpoint Photographer)

/in , /by

Since Nick moved to Sandpoint a little over a year ago I have had the opportunity to capture images of him out on the football field and the basketball court.  Now in his senior year I was honored to have the opportunity to take his senior photos.  Here are some of the final results.

Nick’s brother was gracious enough to volunteer to help me fine tune my lighting while Nick was preparing for the next series of photos.

To finish  out this post, here is a football themed Senior Poster

Tyler’s Senior Photos (Sandpoint Photographer)

/in , , /by

Tyler and I arrived at Memorial Field in Sandpoint at the brink of dusk to shoot some dramatic football themed senior photos.  We had to work quickly to be able to get some shots of the victory bell in the background before it became too dark to capture it adequately.

After dark we had the opportunity to do some fun lighting . . .


At the end of our we set up some of my favorite shots of the evening, I put a couple of flashes in the stands to use as a background.  It is very possible that this is the last football season that those stands will be there so years from now I am sure Tyler will look back with fond memories of those stands that have seated thousands of fans for many years.

For the final photo of this post I compiled a Senior Poster mixing together a great shot from our time together and a couple of photos from the last two football seasons.

The Dilts Family (Sandpoint Photographer)

/in /by

By the looks of the forecast and the rain clouds in the sky I thought for sure that I would have to postpone my photo shoot with this family, but I was wrong.  The oldest of the three boys would soon be heading off to the Army and the almost impossible task of getting the whole family in one place at the same time had been accomplished, so come rain of shine this photo shoot was on.  We did have to make some adjustments due to the rain but we found a place under a large tree to get a few group shots and then the rain let up just long enough for us to venture out from under the tree’s protection for a few more shots.

If you are trapped under a tree for your family photos, why not take advantage and “Family Tree” photo!

Of course the rain clouds did make for an interesting and dramatic sky, which we took advantage of!

George’s Senior Photos (Sneak Peek)

/in /by

I had the pleasure of spending a couple of hours with George on Schweitzer mountain where we went to take his Senior Photos.  I have been trying to get the editing finished, but one thing after another has come up and kept me away from the computer, so to hold George over for a little while longer here is a sneak peek of a couple of the photos I have finished.

Jessica’s Senior Photos

/in /by

I recently had the opportunity to work with Jessica on her Senior Photos.  She picked out some very fun locations and I had so much fun working with her that I almost wanted to cry when our time was up.  We had a great time and think we ended up with some really nice shots!  Here are Jessica’s favorites:

After our shoot my assistant Shea decided he wanted to take a dip, so Shea and Jessica traded roles for a couple of minutes!

Drew’s Senior Photos

I had a great time recently working with Drew on his Senior Photos.  We had a great location for the photos, I would not have minded a few more clouds in the sky, but other than that we could not have asked for a better day for a photo shoot!
