Columbia River Gorge Family Photos | Funks Island

Ok, you may know that this (apparently it’s now named Funk’s Island?) is one of my very favorite locations in the Columbia River Gorge. It is incredible. It has everything you could want from a photo session location, all within easy walking distance of your car. The most negative thing about the location is keeping all of the photographers out of your shots (seriously, I think I saw five other photographers there shooting at the same time as me).

I was so honored that the M family drove all the way out to the Gorge from Albany to do this family photo shoot with me. We had a beautiful afternoon and as always I enjoyed watching this family interact and seeing their family culture and how much fun they have together. I’ll let the photos to the rest of the talking here, they’re better at it anyways, but M family, thank you so much for hiring me and for making the trek out to the Gorge, so wonderful meeting you and spending a little time with you all.

Boise Family Photographer | The M Family

Alright, these guys are awesome, they are our neighbors in Boise and we’re so grateful for them. Almost every day I see Thomas out riding his tricycle and he always gives me the sweetest little wave and smile. I was so excited to do a quick shoot for them, we literally did this in fifteen minutes in their front yard, but one thing I love about doing photo shoots at people’s homes is that it documents their life, so when they look back they can remember the house they lived in then, or the color it was, or the tree that fell over and smashed their car, before it smashed their car…. Alright, clearly my imagination is out of control, I’ve got a cold and I’m a bit of a zombie, but here’s the photos….

Boise Family Photographer | The L Family

Michelle DM’d me on Instagram several months ago asking me how we liked living in Boise, I replied that we absolutely love it (if you’ve talked to me lately about Boise you know how obsessed with it I am and how much I love living here, I mean come on, I can mountain bike from my house, doesn’t get better than that). I met up with her and her family behind Camel’s Back in the Hulls Gulch area. The Desert colors were beautiful and the sun was out, and I had such a fun time wandering around with this family.

Thanks so much for hiring me L Family, so great meeting you three!
