Posted in Fresh from the Oven 7 comments

I had the pleasure of photographing this cute little guy and his adorable big brother and sister. You may recognize his siblings as they have been on my blog several times before. I love seeing families grow!

Congratulations, D Family! He is just so precious!

{Aria is two!} Spokane Child Photographer

Posted in Sweet Things 15 comments

I have been photographing sweet Aria since she was a newborn. It is so so fun to watch her grow – I couldn’t believe how much she was talking this time and her little playful personality is just too cute!

Just a quick sneak peek as I’m finishing up her gallery.

We had to take advantage of the gorgeous sunset and background in Bora Bora to get some silhouette shots (thank you to my sister-in-law for taking the family and ones of me and Trevor).
