When Holly first reached out, I knew immediately I wanted to work with her! She and her family were traveling to Spokane to visit their son here at Fairchild Air Force, and it was going to be the first time in FIVE years they’d all be together! And if that wasn’t already the best reason for family photos already, they just welcomed their FIRST grand baby!

This past summer has been so fun geting to document senior portraits for the upcoming Class of 2025! Andrew is the second sibling in his family I’ve had the privilege to document senior portraits for, and is heading into his senior year at Gonzaga Prep!

He first saw her at the Cal Poly Crops Club Intramural kickball game, and called ‘dibs’ that he saw her first to his buddies. Alyssa noticed Sammy too, specifically how he was wearing hiking boots to play kickball that night.

The following quarter, they happened to both have classes in the same building. Alyssa admits she may have coordinated her exit from class to strategically be when Sammy was arriving to his class.

Well, this post just feels surreal to be sharing! I remember when Jaelyn was first born like it was yesterday, and now she is GRADUATING high school! Where has time gone?!? I couldn’t be more proud of this niece of mine, and am so excited to see what God has in store for her as she begins a next chapter of life!

Being one of four sisters is the best. Obviously, I don’t know any other way, but I adore my sisters and think the world of them. They are all so beautiful, amazing mamas to their kiddos, and incredibly strong, each in their own right. Yes, they drive me crazy on occasion too, but what are sisters for, right?!?

I’ve got another downtown Spokane senior session for you today! Meet Lucas, a senior from Lewis and Clark High School! Lucas is the oldest of three boys, so I was so excited when his brothers joined the shoot! I always love when friends and or family come along, so of course (!!), we snuck in a few extra shots of Lucas with his bros and mama!

This post is extra special because it happens to be with one of my nieces! Zoe is one of our three nieces and nephews that will be graduating high school this spring. For her senior portratis, Zoe came to Spokane, which was such a treat! And also, because her mom, dad, and Uncle Allan joined the shoot, and made for THE best entourage!

If you’ve been following me for a bit, you might recognize this sweet family! ;Oh, how I adore this bunch, so much! From first getting to capture their engagement portraits and wedding, then newborn portraits, to now – their beautiful family of FIVE together!

I’ve been so excited to share Eva’s senior session in Sunnyside with you!  It was one of those shoots that felt like everything came together perfectly – the outfits, the locations, the weather, the lighting! Not to mention, Eva is an absolute sweetheart and JOY to be around!

It’s kind of crazy to think about, but the first time I took Makenna’s pictures was back in 2012! So when her mom contacted me about taking her SENIOR portraits this past fall while I was in California, I was beyond excited and honored!
