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.

 

Michael & Britney // Seattle Engagement

Adventuring at Rattlesnake lake was amazing with these two. The phrase "anything for the photo" couldn't have been more true. Brit climbed a freaking stump in her heels for me. I love shoots where I don't hesitate to ask for anything because I know the client will be up for whatever. I'm sure their wedding is going to be killer. Not just because they are both beautiful...but also because they are the more fun than you could ever wish for.  Congrats you guys!

 

Mark & Rachel // Palouse Falls Couple Shoot

Sometimes I get couples to go on adventures with me. This is no standard shoot. It's hot, it's sweaty, it may require some hiking or uncomfortable terrain, it may mean facing a fear (like snakes or heights) or it might simply mean we all get a little out of our comfort zone. But somehow it's a blast. I want every shoot to feel like this one.

Thank you Mark & Rachel for going on this adventure with me. Thank you Ilse Papst for creating some beautiful arrangements to accessorize them in a unique way. I sure love you all!
