The Davenports | Idaho Family Photography

Sometimes life brings us into contact with people for no reason at all.
Other times those people serve a temporary purpose, a momentary lesson or inspiration.

Then, occasionally, someone walks into your life as if they had always been there, and always will be.
Kindred spirits, soul friends, confidante.. even those don’t do these people justice.

The Davenports are family that we chose over 10 years ago, even if it feels like we’ve known them for many lifetimes. I’ve watched Kain grow into this wise beyond his years, naturally hilarious guy. I’ve shared my biggest life milestones with Andrea, and Nick has become my brother.

To photograph their lives has been one of my favorite things to do, and I’m so glad that I’m lucky enough to be in their orbit.

West Of Here | Personal

We spend a lot of time in West Texas. Marfa, to be exact. We love it out there, for the simple fact that it’s a small town, wide open space, disconnected-from-the-city, magical place. For the 5th time this year, we made our way out to the desert and spent a few weeks, enjoying the desert.
I documented a few of our days with my trusty little Fuji X100S and even though it’s a little out of the norm for my blog, I decided to share some of my favorite shots here.

If you ever find yourself needing a break in a place where you can slow down and wander around in a place where time slows down, go visit Marfa, Texas.
