"My Boudoir session with Gretchen was a fun, comfortable and uplifting experience! She has a wonderful way of bringing out the sexy playfulness in women. I would recommend every woman to take this opportunity to express her inner beauty!"
Laura Sferra
Thank you Laura! And I also believe that every woman deserves to feel beautiful at least once in their lives. I welcome women of all levels of comfortablity to call me and set up their Fierce for a Day Boudoir session!
I believe in the power of art, the love in life and the tradition of photography. I'm a photographer in Post Falls ID, near Coeur d'Alene Idaho & Spokane Washington.
My focus when on a shoot is to encourage natural interaction between my clients. I believe that when people come together, their natural chemistry is the true treasure to be captured. Creating images that share that chemistry is the ultimate beauty of portraiture.
I have been photographing people for over 15 years. I have a BA in Art/Photography & apprenticed two distinguished photographers. It is my life's passion and what I was meant to do.
Often I shoot weddings with my dear friend and fabulous photographer Danielle Kinney (hence the GD Company ;). We have been shooting weddings together for over six years and have a natural rhythm that brides & grooms comment wonderfully on. We both love what we do and we work great together!
Please do not hesitate to contact me for a chat about what I can do for you and yours. Life is a gift, every day is wondrous, and I try to always keep that in mind and let it shine in my artwork.
Life just doesn't get much better ;)
Many cheers!

Zest & Zeal Portraits
It is my belief that families share precious interactions every day. My goal is to capture the subtle nuances of those connections.
The beauty of a mother brushing her daughter's hair or cooing at her new son are perfect examples. It is the simple essense of what makes a group of people, a family.

Each shoot is around one hour - longer if needed, shorter if I'm confident that I've got what I'm looking for.
I love coming into people's real living space and capturing the comfortablity that that brings. I also love heading out to the hills or to the park. I go where you are comfortable. We can work together in consultation to figure out what is best for you and yours.
Gretchen, I can't thank you enough for the amazing photos and experience! From our very first email you have been so great and I couldn't be happier with the results of our pictures. You were an angel to work with and I will recommend you to anyone needing photos taken. It is so refreshing to have someone so passionate about what they do and it really shows in your work too! I will definately be in touch next time we need some pictures taken! Thanks a million! :)

Planning a wedding is supposed to be a very stressful process (or so I've heard). That's one of the reasons my fiancee (now husband) and I decided to elope. We had a destination wedding in Idaho (we're from Texas). I found GD Company on-line. I was a little nervous about using a photographer neither I nor anyone I know had ever met but the photos posted on her site and her friendly manner charmed me. When we met on the day of the ceremony, she had arrived early to scout the location. She also brought fun props to use after the ceremony. I really appreciated her attention to detail and thoughtfulness. The day was wonderful and she was everything I could have hoped for (a fact that was affirmed when I saw the photos she posted early the next morning). I could sing her praises for a another few paragraphs but I'll save the words and suggest you look at her photos and see for yourself.

The GD Co. made my wedding day so much more special. They were attentive to my husband and I, were very friendly with the wedding party and all of the guests, and extremely professional. The pictures also turned out fantastic! I would definitely use them again for any future event.

We LOVE our wedding pictures. Thank you for being so professional while at the same time making us feel like you were part of our family!
~Ryan & Darcy
I am so happy with my wedding pictures. Working with you was such a pleasure. I felt confident and secure the whole time that you knew just exactly what I wanted. Besides all of the moving and thoughtful shots of us and our guests, I especially appreciate your attention to the special details that are so easy to overlook and to forget...the things we spend so much time planning...but then as bride and groom, we're to busy to really take in; our brunch buffet table, the flowers, the place settings, the bible on the alter. I feel like our wedding pictures should have been in a magazine! They're worthy of it. You are an artist. Thank you again.
