"Words of Wisdom" Spokane Chief's James Reid with Hockey Armor's 7th Man

I caught this shot of Spokane Chief's goalie, James Reid before the start of the game the other night. He was having a short conversation with Hockey Armor's 7th Man, a young goalie named Duncan. I thought it was pretty cute and thought I would share.

N and A Engagement Session



I love meeting engaged couples to shoot their engagement sessions. It is a great pre-wedding ice breaker, and it gets the future groom involved with the wedding. It also is a great, relaxed way for us to get to know each other, and to find a style that works for the couple.

Motocross Trash the Dress Session

One of the pro motocross riders I shoot got married and his wife was game to have a fun "Trash the Dress" session. Lots of fun! Floral arrangement by designer Carrie Peterson.



After we got done shooting, we got in a few with the husband...

Spokane Commercial Photography

I love shooting images, and really love it when I see them in use. Driving home tonight, I saw three of my images being used on billboards in Spokane. Kind of cool.

Schweitzer Mountain Resort Ski and Snowboard Images

I love skiing and snowboarding at Schweitzer Mountain Resort in Sandpoint, ID.
http://www.schweitzer.com/

This weekend I spent a couple days there shooting with a couple of very talented skiiers and boarders for marketing collateral.

I was lucky enough to send the weekend in a cozy lakeside cabin at "Sleeps Cabins". http://www.sleepscabins.com/

 Pulling into the resort late on Friday evening we quickly found our cabin, with a fire layed in the stove for us, heat on, and warm cookies with a welcome note from our hosts. Cozy, well equiped and stocked, it had everything we would need for a comfortable weekend. Saturday morning came quickly, and honestly, the cabin was too nice...I did not want to leave! The smell of coffee got me out of bed, and the view out onto the lake made for a great way to get the day started.

Pulling into Schweitzer we run into some old ski friends, a couple of guides from Selkirk Powder Company getting ready for their first day out with clients. If you have never been cat skiing or boarding before, this is one of the best intro's to cat skiing around..check them out...   http://www.selkirkpowder.com/

I hook up with Nick, Brandon and Molly, and we head out to look for a bit of fresh snow...we find it in the trees, off of Chair 4....


Heres a few of the images....
