Jacob & Elly // Spokane Engagement

Adorable. This couple is simply adorable. I almost can't handle how cute they are.

Can't wait for their wedding this summer! What a joyous day that will be.

Jake & Mackenzie // Spokane Engagement

This engagement session did not go as planned. Let's just say, some poor planning (and thinking) on Mackenzie & I's side of things made it quite the adventure. The best part is...it didn't matter. We had a blast & made our "whoops" moment into a fabulous one! I love it when things don't go as planned. Cause this happens...

Kylie Schwarz // Spokane Senior

So lovely. All of it...lovely.

Jamie Machtmes // Spokane Senior

I don't photograph that many seniors this time of year...but am definitely not complaining. I wish seniors graduated all year long...because I love taking their photos :). This session was no exception.

Chris & Allie // Spokane Wedding

I don't think I have EVER prayed this much about weather. Allie wanted snow. Problem was...Spokane seemed to be out of snow & just wanted to rain. The whole week, nothing but rain. So I prayed. I prayed there would be so much snow that it would make the city white again & it would last until pictures ended. Oh boy did God deliver. A winter wonderland DOWNPOUR. Allie & I relished in the cold & wet because we knew it was a miracle. Chris...well...Chris was distracted by his beautiful bride. At least enough to forget that we were torturing him in the weather. 

LOVED THIS WEDDING.

Andrew & Alisa // Spokane Engagement

YES was the word I found myself thinking, saying & feeling through every stage of these two lovebird's relationship. YES...I felt when my cousin Andrew called to tell me about a special new girl in his life. YES...to the question, "would you be willing to hide & take pics as I ask Alisa to marry me"? YES...to photographing their engagement & upcoming wedding. YES...I've prayed for the perfect girl for him for years. I'm just so dang excited. YES!

Jonathan & Chelsea // Spokane Engagement

Well stink...so many amazing engagement shoots this week! Plus, the snow "dressed to impress" for us. I cannot wait until these two get married in April. Such an honor to be a part of it! Who knew little 'ol Johnny would find such an amazing bride...boy am I excited for them. 

Kristin Dulik // Spokane Portrait

A cold afternoon shoot with an adorable young lady.

My job is ridiculously awesome. 

Robby & Dani // Spokane Engagement

I have a beautiful family. It's unfair really. This dear cousin of mine Dani is just one of many beautiful family members of mine. These two are adorable together. I have only just begun to witness their love & can't wait to capture it on their wedding day. Congrats you two...July can't come soon enough!

Alan & Jessi // Spokane Engagement

I've known & been friends with this gal for over 20 years. As kids we would make up dances in her basement, dress up dolls & do stupid stuff with our brothers on their family farm. So many memories made. To see her engaged & with a man who loves her well is so amazing.

We started out this session at Vessel Coffee Roasters & then braved the downpour of snow outside. It was a blast!
