Parker's 6 Month Photos | Baby Collection | Cheney, WA

Please oh please make sure you take milestone photos. Case in point, cutie patootie Parker girl. Here are her maternity (remember those awesome cherry tree blossoms) and newborn photos and today her 6 MONTH PHOTOS! Growing so fast and furious, this little one will be chasing down big sister in no time. This is why I love my Baby's First Year collection - we preschedule photos for those key milestones that you know just fly by. I love that Parker's 6 month fell during the Christmas season, such a great opportunity to get those classic photos in front of the tree and with her big sissy.

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!

The Ryan Family | Twins | Spokane

Meet the Ryan twin boys! The adorable and sweet sons of our long-time friends, Devin and Kim. I had no idea how my first time with twins would go, but it was a dream! Harvin and Harley are full of smiles and laughs. I was pretty much in double-baby heaven. Love this family to pieces and am just so happy to see what they've brought to Devin and Kim. I'm so, so happy for you four! Thank you for spending your one year old and fall family photos with me! 

Farris Family Photos | Downtown Spokane

In LOOVE with the Farris Family's fall family photos! Great light, great locations, great outfits, and an all around great family! I had the incredible honor of photographing baby Caleb's birth just four months ago - see those photos here. It was so fun to get together and see how much Caleb has grown, Abby as a big sister, and just how in love they all are. Caleb is full of laughs and grins, and I can't even handle it! You guys make me smile and laugh, and I love every time we get to do photographs together. Thank you for a wonderful morning together! 

Kraft Family Fall Photos | Downtown Spokane

You might remember the Kraft family from here, here and here (I kinda never let you go;) ). Clearly I've photographed their family a lot, but the most amazing thing about my relationships with my clients/friends and namely, you, Krafters, is that I am given a huge blessing by being able to journey with your family throughout the years. This has never meant more to me than it does now. This week has been particularly challenging for our city. I hope you are all recovering from the aftermath of the storm that hit this week. But for this family, the storm had already begun and it will continue for a while. My friends, the Krafts, are facing a unique time and taking on one of the biggest challenges of their lives so far. They are bright, bold, brave, and beautiful in all ways. This year we had key timing with this shoot—it was on a good day, it was in great light, and it was a perfect representation of how them now—bright, brave, bold and beautiful, no matter what gritty challenges come and go in the background. Love you guys. Glad to have captured this moment in time for you.

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.
