With school starting up again, it feel like summer is coming to an end. But my heart is not quite ready to see this season go, and I’m hanging on to all the things that make me love this time of year – staying light longer, fresh nectarines, dinner on the BBQ, mowing the lawn, and…capturing sessions on warm summer nights!

I first met Banji and Yinka back in 2020 when they were expecting their sweet girl, Eliana. Fast forward two years and a pandemic later, and Eliana is walking (just kidding, RUNNING!) and talking and laughing and absolutely DARLING!!! I met up with this sweet trio in downtown Spokane to document family portraits….and (!!!) Yinka […]

If you’ve been following along here for awhile, you might recognize this sweet family! I met the VanSickle family shortly after moving to Spokane, and have LOVED getting to capture their family over the years! They have two boys, Evan and Nolan, and they are THE cutest! A few weeks ago, we met up in […]

I mean, can you handle the cuteness?!? Sweet Greta June turned ONE, and I was just so glad to capture this sweet milestone. She is so DARLING with her button nose and rosy cheeks, and her determined looks (my favorite!). My session with the Johnston family was such a blast! Absolutely loved getting to meet […]

You might remember Lou and Demaris from their wedding a few years back. Well, they have recently added another cutie to their brood, and I was over the moon to get to capture them together last time I was in California! I’ve been looking forward to this ever since Demaris emailed me this past fall, […]

It’s gray and gloomy here in Spokane which has me craving color on the trees again and the warmth of sunshine on my face! Definitely taking me back to this sweet family session this past fall with the Makinsons’ out in Cathys Valley, on a ranch with its acres of golden grass and giant oak […]

I’ve said it before, I’ll say it again – I adore this family! Not only because they are related to my brother-in-law, but they are seriously a blast to be around! Every time we meet up, my cheeks hurt from laughing so much! For this session, I met the Cope family at the beautiful Corbin […]

While I was in California shooting weddings, I snuck in a few family sessions during the week! It was SO fun to see so many familiar faces, and for this one in particular, because I got to meet a new one!!! You might remember Kristen and Devin from their wedding a few years ago, and […]

When your high school volleyball coach asks you to take pictures of her family, you…    a) Freak Out   b) Cry   c) Say Yes   d) All of the above    For me, it was definitely d) All of the above! Leslie was my volleyball coach for two years and made such a […]

You might remember seeing the Slate family in my feed over the years. I’ve had the absolute JOY of getting to photograph this sweet family together, and this year, I was SO happy to sneak in a mini-session while I was down in California with them!     I ADORE this family!!! And their boys […]
