Bagumako Maternity Shoot // Autumn 2019

Emmanuel and Gladys have been some of our closest friends in Burundi for nearly eight years. We were there when they had their first daughter, Milka. We unfortunately were not in Burundi for Iruta’s birth, but you bet we will be there for this new baby boy’s birth! Their pregnancy story is actually pretty incredible. Iruta prayed and prayed for many months for God to give her a baby brother. She got her answer and she knew Gladys was pregnant before Gladys ever took a test! Such a beautiful story. So excited to meet this child!

 

The Driggars // Summer 2017

My favorite little second cousins spent some time with me at the Sandpoint, Idaho beach the other day. As cold as it was, they all plunged in with reckless abandon! Glad I had my camera to catch these sunny, summer moments of their childhood.

 

The Birdsall Family // Summer 2017

It is always a joy to take photos with Nate, Bri and Carter! A year ago we did family photos together, and now with a baby on the way, they needed some new ones that included her adorable bump! We are so excited to meet their sweet little girl this fall!

The Reed Kiddos // Summer 2017

Grandma Raylene is one of my mother in-law’s closest friends and she is downright obsessed with her four, beautiful grandkiddos! Can you blame her? She did such a good job getting them all dressed up in nautical themes for our photoshoot in downtown CDA a few weeks ago. Such a precious little family with a bouquet of personalities! Sibling love is the best.

The Benoit Family // Summer 2017

The Benoits have recently become some very precious friends to my husband and I. They  had all their family in town for a lake weekend in Harrison, Idaho, where we shot some pictures of their whole clan. I especially love the grandparents! This was certainly a family of big personalities and lots of laughter!

The Dirks Family // Summer 2017

Driving out to this location was quite a feat, but it was so worth it! This incredible family, who serve as medical missionaries yearly in Honduras, were gathering together with the many generations of their family for a “shooting party,” which, if you’re not from North Idaho, basically entails food, fun, and firearms! Michelle, the stunning grandma in yellow, had this beautiful place all set up for us to take photos when I arrived, so it hardly feels like I had to do much work! Their passion for global missions made this all the more fun to shoot!

 

The Thompson Family // Summer 2017

I would say I am not biased about how beautiful this family is, but it is my family, so it would just not be true! As subjective as my opinion is, I just love this family so much! We had a reunion in Sandpoint Idaho a few weeks ago, and as I am redoing my Grandparent’s photo wall at their house, it was a perfect place to snap some shots of everyone!

 

The Alsager & Leas Family // Summer 2017

As a parting gift for my grandparents as we prepare to move to London, I am re-doing their family photo wall at their house! Here are a few of some of my cousins and their families!

The Pearson Family // Summer 2017

My dear friends, the Pearsons, and I spent some time taking photos before their hot date night! Drew works in Afghanistan, so when he is home, we try really hard to make sure we get some family photos! Mission successful, I would say!
