Our family photos

Penny did family portraits with us out by the lake. They came out amazing. She went to several different locations on the lake and her choice for background was perfect. We also had our two Labs with us and she was amazing with them. We will treasure these photos forever. Penny was on time and very professional, but at the same time she was a lot of fun and made it a great experience. I would recommend coordinate photography to anybody who is looking for amazing portraits.

She did amazing photos and service.

After getting engaged, we searched for a long time for a photographer until we found Coeur d Alene Photography. We were impressed by Pennie’s ability to capture authentic and expressive photos, not just staged ones. She did a wonderful job with our engagement photos and we can’t wait to have her for our wedding photos. Pennie is an excellent choice for anyone who wants to preserve their memories in a beautiful way.

Family photography along with Engagement photography

We decided to do a family shoot with our close family members along with engagement photos at the same time . Pennie with Coeur d’Alene photography was patient and she knew exactly what she was doing with a big group of people.
We even brought our dogs along for the sitting . We believe Pets are family too, so we were pleased that we were given the opportunity to have them in our photographs.
I would highly recommend Coeur d’Alene photography for any of your photography needs

Photos for my wife and I with our puppy

We wanted to have our puppy photographed in our family photos and Pennie was amazing with getting the perfect photo. We wanted to do this for Christmas for our family photo to send out as presents. She was prompt and she knew exactly what she was doing to get our puppy to look at the camera. We went to a beautiful lake to take the photos and get the perfect shot. .
I highly recommend Coeur d’Alene photography for your photography needs

Professional Campaign Photographs

When I was running for Sheriff of Kootenai County Idaho, I needed professional photos for my campaign material. I met Pennie at CDA Photography and was swept away by her energy and creativeness. She took me to parts of Coeur d' Alene I had never seen before, for the most unique backdrops for the photos, and the results were fabulous. I highly recommend Coeur D' Alene Photography for your important photography needs.

Pennie has an amazing eye! I have worked with Pennie for 10 years. She has covered the Spokane Shock, Spokane Indians, Spokane Chiefs, concerts, George Foreman fights, high school sports and the pre-qualifying Olympics for me over the years. We have had her take our baby pictures....Pennie thinks outside the box and will not accept second best. She always puts out quality work. She is professional with a great personality that really will make sure you love the pictures she takes. I highly recommend Pennie for your photography needs!
