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!

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?!?

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!

Holy moly, how is this even possible?!?! It seems like yesterday and a lifetime ago all at the same time, I was photographing Pierre + Alisha’s wedding. That was back in the fall of 2014, and look at them now! They have THREE ridiculously darling boys, Pierre, Waylon, and Wes. They are bonafide country boys, and can prove it with their belt buckles. Pierre is an absolute little mini-me of his dad, and Waylon of his mom. And their little Wes? You’ll just want to put him in your pocket and SQUEEZE him!

Just when I thought this crew couldn’t get any CUTER, they have a little girl, and blow my cuteness meter right out of the water! Summer joined the de Jong family a few months ago, and it is clear to see this little one is oh-SO-loved. And its easy to see why! Her little smiles will melt you, and don’t even get me started on her outfit!!!

Oh, how I adore this family! What a sweet treat to capture them together again while I was down in California this past fall. The last time I saw them, their little Eleanor was just one, so it was so fun getting to see them all again!

Just when I thought this family couldn’t get any sweeter, they go and get an Aussiedoodle and BAM – super sweet! I adore this family so much, and have loved getting to capture their family portratis over the years.

The Arnold family is growing! I had the honor of capturing Chris and Chelsie’s wedding back in 2016, and they have since welcomed their sweet Own, who just turned one and…is about to be a big brother! Chris and Chelsie are expecting a baby GIRL in August, and I couldn’t be more excited for them!

When Yvette first reached out to me, she explained how she was undergoing chemo, but wanted to have family portraits to document this chapter in their lives. I was just in awe of Yvette’s joy and strength, as she battles breast cancer. You can feel the fortide of the whole family, as they rally around her.

When I first met the Welch family this past fall, Stephanie was pregnant with their third baby so when she emailed a few weeks ago, I was SO excited to capture their now family of FIVE, and meet their newest addition! We met up at Finch Arboretum, and found this beautiful tree in bloom that was the perfect backdrop. And, oh my heart, their Teddy is a little dreamboat!
