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.

I was in a panic and looking for someone with quality over quantity which is exactly what Chris gave us! In 30 minutes he captured our relationship with a breeze and got me in within a few days notice. He makes you feel like you’ve known him for years and gives you that confidence you didn’t know you had! I would work with him many more times to come. Just an amazing photographer and go grateful with his amazing work and turn around time!

I absolutely loved working with the two of you and couldn't be happier for you finding your person. I know you guys are moving but if you ever come back into town hit me up so we can get out and capture some more moments for you. Take care and enjoy Reno!!!

Chris got there, asked us a few questions to get to know what we wanted, and got to work! It was great because we had a bunch of littles to work with, and he handled it great. He is so very talented; we loved every single photo he took!

Chris was fantastic!! He photographed my husband and I for our engagement photos and wedding photos which turned out amazingly! My husband and I had never done a photo shoot before and we were unsure of how to pose or what to expect , but Chris walked us through everything and kept it light hearted and natrual. Over all a wonderful experience. If you are in need of a wedding photographer Chris is your guy.

Chris is amazing to work with, and we are so grateful for the great communication and excellent results for our engagement and wedding photos! He is super easy to talk to, he makes the most of every opportunity for a good shot, and he had our edited photos finished before we were back from our honeymoon.
