Bradley’s Senior Photos

Bradley is a senior int the Class of 2014 from Bonners Ferry High School, we worked on his senior photos at three different locations around Sandpoint, Idaho.   When we talked during our consultation Bradley mentioned that he was a huge comic book fan, especially Batman.  I wanted to come up with a location where we could showcase some of his comic book collection where it would not look too out of place so I contacted Angela at Kokanee Coffee in Sandpoint and we were able to set up a time that we could come and set up a few quick shots at the coffee shop.   It was a fun shot to set up and I am very thankful to Kokanee Coffee for letting us use their coffee shop!

Zach’s Senior Photos

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

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.

Taylor’s Senior Photos

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.

Pete’s Junkyard Portraits and More

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.

Sandpoint Senior Photo Sandpoint Senior PhotoOur 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!

Daranie’s Senior Photos – Session #1

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.

Arielle Walden – 3 Time State Champion

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.

Slipperzzz at the Pend Oreille Playhouse (Newport Washington Photographer)

A couple of months ago my wife noticed that the Pend Oreille Playhouse in Newport, Washington was going to have auditions for an upcoming play called Slipperzzz.  The casting call was for actors in grades 3-6 and my daughter decided she wanted to give acting a try.  The play followed the story of Cob the shoemaker and the 12 dancing princesses who keep wearing out their shoes.  Slipperzzz was written by Jeannette Jacquish, and directed by Alyssa Miller and Duncan Heaney and they did an outstanding job with these 25 actors ranging in ages from 8 to 13.

I attended three of the six permanence and for two of them I was there early to get some behind the scenes photos.  If you want to keep up with what is happening at the Pend Oreille playhouse you can visit their Facebook page and click the like button, they do a great job and are well worth having in your Facebook feed!  Enough said now here are some photos.

Kiernan’s Senior Photos – Sandpoint Photographer

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.Senior Portraits taken in the snow on Schweitzer mountain Senior Portraits taken in the snow on Schweitzer mountain Senior Portraits taken in the snow on Schweitzer mountain

Gregory Family (Newport Photographer)

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!
