Whitney & Bethany // Alabama In-Home

Oh my gosh I blogged! I haven’t had time to come up for air in quite some time now, but this shoot was deserving of a blog post. So here I am, days away from leaving for China. While checking millions of things off of my ever growing list, I am again reminded that in the midst of the busyness…I freaking love my job(s).

I get to take pictures of incredible people, I get to sing until my throat aches, travel all over the world & most importantly…I get to be with the people I love while doing it. Like what? Heck…who needs sleep when you get to spit truths like these out of your mouth.

 

Ben & Chretienne // Sprague Shoot

I've never had to convince someone that they "needed" me to take photos of them. These two were a little tricky to persuade. They've never had photos together & aren't really fans of the whole "photos together" deal. But I forced them into it and they were (not so surprisingly) oh so natural & fun in front of my lens. I do feel bad for them though...cause I will be photographing them again even if I have to be a stalker to do it. They were kind, beautiful & the perfect subjects for a summer shoot of love.

PS. If you are my friend, you know I've suggested "Madelines" in Spokane as a meet up spot more than once (if not every time we hang out). It's only fitting that some of my favorite spots in town are owned by Ben & his family. They have a customer for LIFE.

 

Tyler & Christine // Spokane Engagement

Some people are disgustingly photogenic. I didn't even have to try to be good with Christine...she was just perfect for every photo. Then there is Tyler. The way Tyler looks at Christine melts my heart. There was no chance of failure for this shoot with their photogenic love filled glances. I can't wait for this special August wedding.

 

Ryann & Taylor // Spokane Graduation

These two GORGEOUS gals gave me the honor of taking their "senior" photos. I wish more people would do these types of sessions with their friends. They graduate nursing school this year & wanted some photos to mark this moment in time. Yeah...I wasn't sad about it. Take a look at these beauties.

 

Ryan & Alissa // Spokane Valley Couple Shoot

If you know these two people...you are lucky. They are incredible talented (check out Ferguson Films & Alissa Ferguson Photography for proof), they are profoundly kind, fun & they are insanely beautiful! Alissa asked me to take some family photos for them & I felt honored for the opportunity. Naturally I agreed...but only if I could take some of her & Ryan as well. They are just to cute to pass up.

 

Nick & Shelby // Spokane Engagement

What if you met someone...you fell in love...and you asked them to spend the rest of their life with you? Well that is exactly what happens, and somehow I get the extreme privilege of capturing it. That is making me so happy right now. I can't even handle it.

 

Shelby Ritzenthaler // Arizona Portrait

There is so much inspiration that comes when you are running out of light and are shooting in a scenery you've never photographed in before. The jolt of panic to get "the shot" before the sun goes down is invigorating. In this case I had a beautiful subject & full control of the shoot. It doesn't get much better. I kinda can't help but love these images.
