I only got to meet the Bressi family the day we took their family photos, but man, they are a kind group. Their baby boy just recently turned one (which is why we were taking the photos) but their older boy was nine, so he was pretty easy to photograph too. Not only that, but the weather really worked out for us and we got some great warm tones. I’ve been looking forward to sharing this one.
Read MoreI feel like sometimes I’m a record on repeat. Because each time I get to see the same couple again, or the same family, I reflect on how great it is to see them. But it’s hard not to say it, because it’s so true. It’s an incredible honor to be asked to be at someones engagement, or their wedding, but in my mind I feel like that honor increases each year you see a family, each year those little kids grow into bigger kids. To watch a family grow, not just in size but also number, is something I absolutely love. That is 100% true of the Slovarp family.

So when I had the opportunity to head out to Walla Walla to capture them in another big life moment - the maternity photos of their first born, I was excited. Not only because these two are awesome - because they are - but also because I was looking forward to seeing the Palouse and wine country. CJ and Caitlin are so easy to get along with, talk to, and photograph, our time went by very quickly. But am I excited to share with you the photos! I hope you love them!

Every year someone who hired me last year, and hires me again to take photos of their family is something that truly honors me, something I see as one of the biggest compliments. You see, people’s families are a central part of who they are, and for many, it is the single more important thing to them in the world. So to. be told “I want you to photograph my family” is such an incredible honor.
Read MoreLast week I had the chance to go photograph some pretty amazing people. Ryan and Cassidy Bones, along with their friends Jake and Ashley. They are starting a thing called The Marriage Upgrade - you should check them out on Instagram. I had so much fun talking with them, joking, getting photos of them living life together. While i’m super excited to see what they do with the photos, here are just a couple of my favorites.
Read MoreI can’t decide if this was the third or fourth time i’ve had the chance to photograph Nora, but each and every time has been a blessing. The things i’m seeing now as she has gotten older (almost 11!) is the women peeking out from inside. She has a mix of playful girl and spunky teenager in her and it’s a lot of fun to see both. Here are some photos from our recent shoot together, showing off a little of both sides.
