Wirth Family | Manito Park | Spokane

Photographing friends and people you have crushes on, like Emily (sorry Jeff), make me totally nervous but in a great way. How amazing does my friend look. Omg. And Everett, you handsome little man (again, Jeff, you are not so bad either, but Everett doing duck lips). I am so thankful we were able to make family photos happen in a brisk 30 minutes basically in the parking lot of Manito (sometimes LAIR is happening in your planned location). You guys are wonderful, and I'm so excited for you to welcome baby sister in the coming months. Muah!

Hemmer Family | Maternity Photos | Manito Park, Spokane

Meet the Hemmer Family! Again, a family I am so thankful to have met. Great and generous, loving hearts. I absolutely cannot wait to go through baby Cora's first year with them.  And I cannot wait to watch their family grow. Casey and Matt, thank you for choosing me to come along for your journey. Lucille, congratulations on your big sister status!  Also, yay that we scored perfect weather for this 20 minute mini session in Manito Park. 

Duff Family | Fall Family Photos on Manito Blvd. | Spokane

This was the perfect blustery afternoon to stroll down historic Manito Blvd and to the park! Duff family, you've stolen my heart. So easy going and full of life! Kids running everywhere having a great time, playing in the leaves — just what fall is all about! I cannot wait to photograph this crew again through the changing Spokane seasons.

Be prepared for all the cuteness. :)

Planning Your Fall Family Photos & Fall Mini Session Day!

This is the busiest time of year for family photography in Spokane.  It's also my favorite time of the year - preparing for the holidays, thinking of gift ideas, trying (never really succeeding) to be prepared way in advance THIS YEAR. ;) In fact, that is what has inspired this blog post! As you are planning for holidays, cards, gifts and travel, I hope this helps with your fall family photos planning. Remember that print orders usually take 2-3 weeks, so you want to be prepared. Below is a look at fall family photos that took place during each week of the month from October to December. Is Spokane beautiful in the fall or what?! We are so spoiled! It's a total dream to photograph.

Speaking of which, as of now I have few weekend spots left. However, I will be taking a select number of week days shoots to make sure you get the portraits you need in time for holidays. Also, I will be having a Mini Session Day on Sunday, November 1stSign up here. Can't wait to see you and your growing families this year!

I have a few spots left for Fall Mini Session Day on Sunday, November 1st. You will receive a 20 minute session, 8 digital images, and an online gallery with a quick turnaround.Now here's a look at what you can expect the rest of the year to look li…
