Meet the Hartsfields!   These guys are so special to me!  They were the first people I ever charged for a session (FIVE years ago!?), and the first people I photographed who I didn’t know first! I was just barely beginning as a family photographer, and I wasn’t even officially a business yet, or even sure […]

Meet the Crabtree Family!  Another fun fall family!  It’s been a fun October meeting new people this year, and we had great weather in Richland in October!  The Chamna Preserve is such a popular spot in the fall, and for good reason!  It’s got beautiful fall colors, a variety of trees and also sagebrush, interesting […]

You might remember this family from a spring session at the demonstration gardens earlier this year…You guys, anytime a client reaches out to me I do a happy dance, but to have clients that return for photos, and then come back again, several times a year…It’s so humbling and just the biggest compliment! This time, […]

You all know how warm it has been so far this fall…I’ve been calling it October Summer!  Highs in the 80’s lots of sun, no wind–I’ve been LOVING it!  However, it didn’t have much of an effect on the the leaves around here.  Fall colors had been slow to get going this season.  So when […]

This is my friend Sara!  I’ve known Sara since kindergarten at Sacajawea Elementary, and she was one of my closest friends growing up!  So many good stories here involving beanie babies…HAHA!  Sara and Kyle are new parents to Everleigh, who was a micropreemie at birth, so Sara and Kyle became parents a bit earlier than […]

Meet the Hardmans! Jana was another client who booked with me almost a year ago during my Black Friday sale at Thanksgiving (should I do this again this year?!).  We actually met several years ago at Music Together!  She wanted a summertime family session, and then we just pushed it a little further into September […]

It’s so much fun to explore a new location with clients!  Having a session at a flower farm has totally been a dream, so when Jaymee inquired about having her family session at Haven Flower Farm in Kennewick, it was a yes from me!  Haven is a wonderful local flower farm!  If you’re looking for […]

One of the best feelings in this biz is when clients come back for more photos.  I first met Susan and Matt, and little Isla back in 2021, for a maternity session when they were expecting.  Later that summer, I got to do an in-home lifestyle newborn session with them and meet sweet little baby […]

This was such a special shoot!  Let me tell you the story! Five years ago, somewhat last minute, we planned a vacation to the Oregon Coast. After much research, we found a little house right on the beach in Netarts, Oregon.  It was SO beautiful, on a calm bay, off the beaten path, and we […]

Meet the Wears! As much fun as it is to reconnect with people I knew in high school, it’s also pretty amazing to meet new people too!  Chloé and her family came out from Seattle to visit her folks here in Richland, where she grew up.  Turns out we had lots of similar interests in […]
