Ryan & Jan // Spokane Maternity

I don't typically shoot maternity. But!                                                                                                           This setting + this beautiful couple = me re-thinking my every thought

When Jan wrote me an email with their story & explained why I should photograph them even though "I don't do maternity"...   I conceded. I'm simply drooling over these beautiful images & am so thankful she gave me the nudge this time around. 

 

 

Laur Kappauf // Spokane Portrait

Sitting in Laur's garage was her Mothers old bike. A 1950's Columbia with a ton of history. Laur used to ride on the back fin with her legs in wire baskets surrounded by books, bags of groceries & maybe even a toy or two.  Her mother did not drive until she was in 3rd grade, so she spent a lot of time on the back of that bike. As she grew & went off to college, she took it with her & it roamed with her for years. 

Sadly, Laur's mom passed away a couple of years ago. She asked me if I would be willing to take a few pictures with her & the bike to honor her mother & the wonderful memories that came along with it. There was something so touching about this portion of our shoot. I could feel the emotion in her eyes & see deep into her soul. The connection she had with her mama was evident in something as small as a metal frame with wheels. Also pictured is Laur's beautiful daughter Anika. Almost as if all three generations were sitting there together. I just had to share these images with you all. I simply couldn't resist.

Holland Freeman // Spokane Senior

First of all...my time with Holland & her Mom was so special. They both have such sweet spirits. This special young lady captivated my camera & lens from the second we started. I didn't want to stop.  

On a side note...it's fun to be back in the blogging game. I missed it. Hopefully I'll do some catch up too. There were so many seniors/sessions this summer that never made it up because of my schedule. 

 

Eric & Amanda // Spokane Wedding

It's possible that I am bias because I'm related to this stunning bride, but this wedding was just so gorgeous...so well put together...& so much stinking fun. If you're looking to hire someone who can turn the vision of your day into reality,  contact "Exquisite" for your wedding planning needs (cindyopland@hotmail.com).

All to say, I'm kind of stoked to show you a few images from this wedding & am so excited for my cousin & her husband. They are incredible together & their wedding day was one of my favs.
