Hendrik | Newborn Photos | Spokane

Krista and I met years and year ago when she was a freshman in high school. Let's not talk about how long ago that was, but yes, many moons. It has been such an incredible journey to see her grow into the mom she is today. There's always been something sweet and special about her. Seems quiet at first but warms up with some wicked humor and a great laugh. She's proven to be resilient and has a positive outlook. She's now surrounded by her main men—Jared, Lincoln and now Hendrik. I can't wait to continue to see this family grow—in number, in love, in happiness.

Hendrik, you are one big cute squishy little boy! I just can't get enough.

Atlas | Lifestyle Newborn Photos | Spokane

Meet the adorable little mister Atlas. I absolutely loved visiting Danielle and Dan in their South Hill craftsman bungalow, full of art, light and love as they welcomed home their firstborn son. Atlas was a big time snuggler, preferring to be held and rocked by his parents until the very end of the session where he fell peacefully to sleep for the very first time laying in his sweet crib. Dan and Danielle's love of maps and travel inspired his creative name and Atlas inspired me. Loved spending this time with you all. 

Westley | Newborn Photos | Spokane

This session is a first. This was the first time I shot in my home. My spare room turned in-home studio. I've decided it's perfect. The light is amazing and has yet to do me wrong! Can't wait to show you more families using this in-home setup. :)

In the meantime, here is sweet mister Westley's newborn photos. You may remember his birth photos here and maternity session here. I am beyond thankful to these three - their friendship, their love for each other and family. Westley is a sweet, sweet boy who will always be surrounded in love. These photos were taken of him only 10 days news. I can't wait to photograph his milestones in his first year (yay Baby Collection package!). Enjoy some snuggly wuggly newborn photos today!

P.S. I had to include the photo of his mom brushing his hair, not only because his hair is so cute, but because that is what calmed him down and lulled him back to sleep! lol So cute.

For questions about my Baby's First Year Collection, newborn photos or my in-home studio message me here. :)

Parker Alice | One Month Old | Cheney, WA

Oh Parker Alice, your entry into this world was so greatly and anxiously anticipated! You are certainly one loved little girl. See the Hebert's maternity photos here. Big sister Reese patiently counted down the days until her little sister would finally be here. Parker, you are adorable and beautiful and make me want to snuggle you all the live long day! We are all so happy you are here, sweet girl. Can't wait for more photo sessions! :) Heberts, love seeing you as a complete four. :)

These Spokane lifestyle newborn photos were taken in the family's home in about an hour's time. 

Welcoming Callen "Cal" Scheele | Newborn Photography | Liberty Lake

Remember the Scheele family from that gorgeous sunset maternity shoot at Liberty Lake?! Well I am so excited to debut the little mister who has made them a family of four! Cal at six days new. Absolutely perfect and cuddly and sweet. I think his older sister, sweet Quinn, is the most enamored with him—look at all those kisses! :) I am so, so thankful to families like Katie and Ben's who allow me into their home at such a sacred, special time. Being in a family's home in the first week they've brought home their new baby is such a privilege and a joy. It always leaves me with such a feeling of hope and happiness and warmth. I'm so glad we captured this special moment in time for you, Scheele family. So excited to see this crew grow over the years!

Maddox makes Four | Newborn & Family Lifestyle Photography, Spokane Valley

Oh you guys, newborns make me all mushy and gushy and I just love them! Meet sweet baby Maddox, all 10 pounds of him. :) He's a big boy and he brings big love to his family. I photographed the Fergusons when they were just three in the fall—see those fall, urban, family/maternity photos here. Now they are a family of four. Alissa, you just glow as a mother. Seeing you with baby Maddox almost makes me cry, it's just so sweet—full of grace and patience. Meanwhile, thank goodness Piper and Ryan are there to keep us all laughing. Enjoy this chaotic, crazy, awesome, fun, love-filled time of life. Love to see your family grow and grow! Congrats again on your adorable new little.

We kept this Spokane newborn photo session super simple by doing in-home, lifestyle photos in about an hour in their Spokane Valley home.
