summer

Ursich Family

The sweet people in these images are near and dear to my heart. I met Shaliena in high school nearly 25 years ago and we have been friends ever since....college, weddings, babies, moves, jobs, and so much more. She has been on my side through it all. I don't get to see her as much as I would like as they live on the other side of the state, so the time we do have together now is so precious. They made a special trip into Spokane from the river during their vacation this summer to do this session and I am so thankful are schedules aligned to make this evening possible. Sophie is 12 and quite possibly the most photogenic 12 year old I know! Wow! James is 10 and had me cracking up with all his different funny faces and poses. I love you all dearly and look forward to seeing you again soon. xo

Romey Family x2

This session included two sets of Romey families…one living right here in town and the other visiting from Cairo, Egypt! All of them were together for a brief period of time this summer and I am so glad they made time for family photos and of course a few shots with all the cousins…what a great group of kids with some seriously fun personalities (ages 6, 7, 9, 10, 11, and 12)!

College Bound

My high school friends are still some of my very best friends (and I graduated from HS 24 years ago – eek!)…so, when one of my class of 2015 seniors, Emma, first texted me in April about her idea for a college shoot with her best friends, the answer was YES! These girls are so sweet and came to the session ready to have fun with each other. My guess is that these friendships will last a lifetime! Soon they will be leaving home and chasing after their dreams – 4 are going to WSU, 2 are heading to Boise State, 1 to Eastern, and 1 to the Joffrey School of Ballet in NYC!

Best of luck girls!! And...we should plan to do another session together when you all graduate from college! Fun!
