2011 World Wide Photo Walk: Sandpoint, Idaho

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)

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

Michael Franti Concert – 2011 Festival at Sandpoint

Tonight, after shooting a surprise wedding vow renewal, I was able to make it to the Festival at Sandpoint’s Michael Franti concert to see if I could get some shots to submit to the Daily Bee.  Everyone was having a great time and I certainly enjoyed the show the best way I know how, up close with my 70-200 lens!  Here are a few of my favorites from tonight’s concert.

The Dilts Family (Sandpoint Photographer)

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!

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!

Sneak Peek – Jessica’s Senior Photos

Here is a little teaser of the photos I am working on from yesterday’s Senior Photo session with Jessica.

Marissa and Rhaelyn (Sandpoint Photographer)

A few days ago Marissa joked with me that the wait to see her photos was giving her an anxiety attack, a little sneak peek helped hold her over for a little while.  Now finally her wait is over, the editing is finished and the completed photos will upload tonight!  Here are a few more photos to hold her over until the morning.  You will see that she is not alone, we were also joined by her niece for a few photos as well.  If you want to see some more photos from this shoot see this link.

One more for fun.  Marissa has an interest in photography and she volunteered to help me out whenever my assistant Shea is not available.  So, I figured it would be good to give her a little job interview right on the spot.  Here is her resume, what do you think should I give her the job?

Marissa’s Sneak Peek (Sandpoint Photographer)

This last week I have been blessed with photo shoots at some beautiful locations containing fields of tall wheat stalks that were just begging to make their way into the photographs.  For this shoot with Marissa we not only had great wheat fields but some of them were filled with daisies which of course begged just as much, if not more, than the wheat stalks!   I only have a handful of photos edited from our session, but since Marissa is getting a little anxious I better give her a sneak peek, here you go!

Shea’s Senior Photos (Sandpoint Photographer)

I am very blessed to have as an assistant a High School student that loves photography.  He is a very big part of running an efficient and successful photo shoot and is often instrumental in helping me produce great quality photographs.  Yesterday he assisted me in a Senior Photo shoot, but this time not only was he my assistant, he was also the model!  Here are some of my favorite photos from our shoot.
