I love it when clients sign up for professional hair & make up for the senior portraits with Jennifer Rutledge Photography. Not only is it FUN, but it creates a polished look that really makes senior portraits beautiful. But not everyone wants the pomp & circumstance of a full style session. For the more minimalist…
You start high school feeling young and inexperienced, with four long years ahead of you; and then BAM! Suddenly you’re a junior and you are bombarded with a Senior Year To-Do List that seems both never ending and crazy expensive. Some things are easy: Cap & Gown, check! Some things are not so easy: Senior…
Although I specialize in Senior Portraits and Commercial Photography, I couldn’t resist photographing this perfect new addition to the Hassett family in Coeur d’alene, Idaho. It just so happens, I’m lucky enough that he is part of my family as well! Newborn, Waylon Michael, was 8 days old at the time of our Newborn Photography…
When I saw this flower gown at Sew Now Studio, I knew it would be perfect for a flower crown and wide open fields. I think she looks every bit as Fairy Princess as she does Bride. You wouldn’t know it from the images, but it was HOT and the light was HARSH. Thanks to…

The winning comment is below: It’s easy to love your children unconditionally. It’s easy to look at your child and admire the similar features and genes. Take Pride in…
What does my mother mean to me? In a word, Everything! My mother is my biggest supporter and my most trusted confidant. She has been an integral part of raising my children to become the wonderful young adults they are today. I’m so grateful to have her in our lives. To celebrate the fabulous-ness of…
