Daranie’s Senior Photos – Session #2

Daranie is going to be a senior at Priest River High School and is one of my Class of 2014 Senior Models, I had an opening in the schedule so we squeezed in a second session to capture some senior photos!  Just as with the first session (view that post here) we had a great June sunset with great clouds to finish up the session.  June can be a tricky month for portraits because the weather can be so unpredictable and sometimes it rains the whole month, but it can also be one of the best months for great skies and sunsets!

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.

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.

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!

Fall Family Portraits (Sandpoint Idaho Photographer)

These photos were shot back in early October with the plans of using them for Christmas cards and gifts, so as to not be the Grinch that stole the surprise I have waited until after Christmas to publish them!   We had such a great combination of colors for this early fall family photos shoot, with the use of a nice big diffuser we were able shoot almost exclusively with natural light which makes life much simpler when you are photographing a family with three kiddos!
