Introduction
I have three goals when it comes to this company:
1. With my experience, I strive to be the most affordable professional photographer in the Spokane/Coeur d'Alene area. I wont charge more for your photos. I wont nickel and dime my clients when it comes to creating lasting memorable photographs.
2. Deliver high quality images with an emphasis on detail and character. Your time is valuable, so why not make it unforgettably fun.
3. To find joy in the moment, and bring out authentic emotional expressions throughout my sessions. The customers experience goes beyond the delivery of their photos.

Chris went above and beyond on short notice. He was professional and engaging while producing amazing photos. We can’t thank him enough for capturing our daughter in her law school grad photos. Don’t hesitate to hire him, just do it!
Details: Solo portrait • Candid (captured in the moment) • Artistic (focus on composition, lighting) • Natural / environmental (photographed in an outdoor setting) • Outdoors • Digital or online download • My home, venue, etc.

It was an absolute pleasure having this opportunity to capture this moment for the entire family to look back on. What a fantastic accomplishment she's just completed, and it was an honor to be able to be your photographer.
Thank You!

Chris is an absolute pleasure to work with. He provided the utmost professionalism, while maintaining a fun and playful attitude. He was extremely responsive to any and all questions I had. Went above and beyond to give me advice on things that he did not have to, regarding my wedding. We were all so happy to work with him, I cannot wait to see my photos!! I would recommend him 100 times over.

"He’s also super kind and made us laugh the whole time" might just be the whole reason I'm a photographer. Thank you again for opportunity, I'm so happy for you guys. Congratulations!!!! I'll see you in Spain someday. :-)

Chris was absolutely amazing. He photographed my husband and I’s elopement and was more than we could have hoped for. He was fun, friendly, directed traffic when needed (which was, admittedly, a lot) and he delivered beautiful pictures in a timely manner. We would hire him again in a heart beat should we have the need. Forever thankful to him for capturing our day so beautifully.

Chris did an amazing job on our photos! They all came out to be stunning. We did a family photo shoot with 9 of us in total. Three couples, one with a baby, and my mother and uncle. We initially booked for an hour shoot but Chris' vision was prepared and clear, it only took us 30mins for us to have everything we wanted and wrap up! Chris was definitely great and if we are ever in Spokane needing photos again, I will be booking him.
Details: Family or children's portrait • Traditional / classic (looking directly at the camera) • Natural / environmental (photographed in an outdoor setting) • Outdoors • Digital or online download • My home, venue, etc.
