Columbia River Gorge Family Photographs | The I Family

I love this family, and I feel so incredibly grateful that they’ve crossed over the border from being clients to being friends. I don’t get to see them as often as I’d like, but I’ve sought out Molly’s advice and recommendations when making career pivots, and her and I have met up to chat about photography as she’s started doing photography as one portion of her own business and she runs a PR firm as her own business, Noteworthy PR.

I’ve taken family photos of them one more time but it was so fun to see the newest addition to their family as well as to catch up with Molly and Jared and hear about Molly starting her own business. The photography business is so much a people business and I’m a person who really loves being with other people, if I could just hang out with people all day, listen to them talk about what they love and what they do and make photos and videos of them, I would in a heartbeat. I’m actually working on doing that for my full time gig :).

Molly and Jared, thanks so much for making the trek out to the Gorge and for hiring me to take photos of your beautiful family.

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….
