Trepus Family

I asked Kerry when they last had professional pictures taken and her response was, "does our wedding count?" So, it was time to capture this family of 3! :-) And after having to rescheduled several times due to rainy March weather, we were blessed with a perfect April evening. Isla is 16 months and almost immediately introduced me to her best friend, "Minnie" (isn't that the cutest black and white Minnie?!) and performed all sorts of tricks during our session including all the hand motions to "head shoulders knees and toes" while Daddy was singing the words! This was such a fun session and ended with the sweetest of news...Kerry and Greg are expecting baby #2 this Fall!!!

Congratulations Trepus family! I am so excited for you! xo

Miller Family

My husband and I sit in awe every Sunday as our pastor, Ryan, delivers his message. No notes. Just all from memory. Every. Single. Week. And his delivery…oh yeah, it’s flawless. We leave every time with a thirst for more and we feel incredibly grateful to be a part of the Branches community. Ryan and his wife, Heidi, are two of the most creative, loving, and encouraging people I know. In addition to leading our church, they own and operate Mango Ink and 08Left. Definitely click and check out these very cool companies! Oh and they are raising three pretty awesome and amazing kids too! Their oldest will be graduating from high school this June, so it was extra special to capture this family of 5 while Isaac is still living at home! 

Thank you Miller Family. It's hard to convey just how much you all mean to me in words. I am incredibly thankful for your friendship. And your session is one of my all time favorites!!!

This family initially found me on Instagram! Tara booked the session several months in advance and I could feel the excitement in her words…this would be their very first family photography session. Their little girl was turning ONE and they couldn’t wait to capture this milestone. The entire session took place on their property – so beautiful!

Thank you Dee, Tara, and little Miss Ruby!

Adelyn | One Year!

It seems like just yesterday that I was meeting Adelyn for her newborn session and today she is ONE! We had so much fun at the library together...looking at books, snacking on (and spilling!) Cheerios, and I think she especially loved seeing her reflection in the window! She will certainly be the STAR at her "Twinkle Twinke Little Star" birthday party this weekend!

Josh & Deanna - enjoy every minute of her big day and birthday party! First birthdays are so special!

Happy Birthday Adelyn!

McMurray Family

Darcy and I met at the start of grade school and 35+ years later she is one of my oldest and dearest friends. Our Cabbage Patch dolls and sleepovers have been replaced with a glass of wine and conversation that can last for days and days (if only we had that kind of time together!). This friendship is truly one that I will cherish for the rest of my life. In 2013 this family made a very difficult decision to move from Spokane to Portland, leaving behind family, dear friends and a community that cared so deeply for them. I am so thankful that they have come "home" to Spokane several times over the past year and that we were able to sneak in a family session with all SIX of them in the same place!! I love you all dearly!

Demske Family

Record temp of 101 degrees when this session took place in late July! Everyone powered through with the promise of treats and water at the end…it was HOT! This family recently moved back to Spokane after living overseas and we connected through a mutual friend…I am so grateful for referred business. Thank you Demske family!
