I was 90% sure this session was getting rescheduled.  A few hours before our start time a spring thunderstorm rolled through the Tri-Cities.  Here in Richland, we didn’t get the heaviest rain, but it was wet enough for long enough that I really thought this session would be a no-go that night.  We stuck it out […]

Happy Spring!  I’m happy to be back at it this spring!  Such beautiful weather we have been having and EVERYTHING is blooming!   Heather chose the Demonstration Gardens at the Mid-Columbia Library in Kennewick for a spring family session.  It was looking so beautiful this evening!  Turns out though, that it was prom night somewhere nearby, […]

So you just downloaded your gallery full of beautiful images of sweet moments captured with your family.  You’re feeling the joy of seeing yourself and your family through my lens, and you know you want to get some photos printed to hang in your home, or to share with family.   But where’s the best place […]

My last family of 2022, and it was so fun! Megan and her family have been in front of my camera four times now (once with her side, and three times with her husband, Randy’s family), but I hadn’t seen them since early 2020!   Her brother-in-law, Richard, and his wife Kate, and their kids […]

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 […]

I snuck in one last senior this fall–Meet Brian, Kamiakin High School class of 2023! Well, word got around after Hayden’s senior session at the fire station this August.  Brian and Hayden attend the same firefighting program at Tri-Tech in Kennewick, and after seeing Hayden’s photos, Brian’s mom reached out about getting some at the […]

Meet Ethan, Chiawana High School class of 2023! It’s not uncommon for the people I meet to have never done professional photographs before, let alone be the one and only subject of ALL the photos.  I get how terrifying, and uncomfortable that can feel!  At the beginning of Ethan’s session, I could tell he was […]

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 […]

Meet Anthony–Liberty Christian senior, class of 2023! You guys, we almost postponed this session.  It was raining unexpectedly earlier in the afternoon, and looking really iffy, but in the end, the sun came out, and we had the most gorgeous evening at Chamna!  Staying flexible for fall sessions is definitely a must, but sometimes when […]

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, […]
