Caitlyn and Matt got engaged in October and booked their session in the perfect amount of time to snag some fall colors! We did these in early November at Finch Arboretum and downtown Spokane. We started off with enough rain to require an umbrella, but ended up being a great day! They were naturals with the camera, looking forward to their wedding this summer!

This was only a week ago and I'm already missing the colors that I see in these photos! They were so beautiful! Monica and Nico are getting married next summer at Bigelow Arbors and I'm so looking forward to it!
I met Amanda and Josh at Finch Arboretum to start with the fall colors and then we headed downtown for some more urban looks. We've had some amazing sunny days lately and I'm not complaining when I can capture the sunshine like this! It's fun to play with shadows too!
What an easy couple to photograph! Smiles and fun is all I can ask for and Leah and Mike did the perfect job of that! Well... I also ask for good weather and that was also perfect.
It was so fun incorporating a location that means so much and where this girl grew up. Priest Lake is a place Melissa's family gathers in the summer and spends a lot of time on their boats. I always encourage my clients to think of a place or a thing that is important to them and add that into their session, making it that much more memorable. They even brought coffee cups from their one and only favorite coffee stand on the south hill, Cool Beans! THAT is customer loyalty! David is also a photographer, for Kalispel Tribe of Indians, and I'm always extra honored to be chosen to capture another photographer's wedding! Looking forward to their wedding in 2014.
This couple really had a good time... cold water and all!

What a fun wedding at Beacon Hill! This couple definitely thought of everything for this celebration. Everything was beautiful and everybody was having a great time. The dance floor was still packed at the end of the night... nobody wanted the day to end!

Fun senior shoot with beautiful Jenny! Tons of studio, urban, lake and natural settings were all accomplished in this session! We even incorporated some sports that her life revolves around. At this point I'm not sure how she won't have hundreds of images to weed through, but I'm going to do my best at narrowing them down!
Morgan and Bryce had a beautiful wedding day at Belle Victorian Gardens in Deer Park. They have the cutest little girl that was obviously a center of attention all day, next to her Mommy of course! Being from California I finally met them at the rehearsal dinner, but I had a really good time getting to know them over the two days! Check out their wedding day...
You might wonder what type of photos you'd get if I go to your house to take photos of your little one. Of course every home is different, so it gives me some unique opportunities to use the nursery, living room or your bedroom as backdrops. I also am able to bring some things with me to capture baby alone, similar to what I'd do in studio. A big window is always helpful, but I have portable lights I can set up as well. The following slideshow shows a sample of an in home newborn session, showing almost all the images the client sees... they saw a bit more due to different expressions they may prefer over others. There are plenty to choose from to make sure everyone is happy and I didn't miss anything along with being able to make a nice album if wanted. All final images shown are fully edited to show the end result before client views them. I like to showcase a handful in black and white to show how those look, but I keep the color version in case you prefer that. Of course, every session is unique, but I have never shown more than a few images in a blog post from each session and thought it would be helpful for you to see all the images from this type of session...
... As you can see, my job is fun when I can look at a sweet face like that! :)
I will post some more soon of different types of sessions as well!

Jessica and Cole's wedding at Beacon Hill was beautifully put together thanks to some amazing vendors. Even with these two planning from out of town and with a shorter six month engagement. This couple didn't want to waste any time tying the knot, they just knew and are so in love! Jessica's make-up was flawless and done by the reputable The Make-Up Studio. Terri with Just Roses did all the flowers, and lots of flowers! Beacon Hill's food was incredible, as usual, but this was really really good! And Craig with Milestone Music had the party going even past the bride and groom's departure. To see more images check out their slideshow below....
I've never done this before, but I decided to have a free walk-in day for Mom's and their children for a Mother's Day special. It was a quick and simple shoot to capture them together. Moms always seem to be the ones taking pictures, rarely in them, unless of course holding a cell phone out and hope the kids (and Mom) look o.k.! This was just a fun chance to capture a more frame worthy photo without planning, scheduling and purchasing a whole session. I had a lot of fun doing it and will hopefully do this and some other similar things in the future! Here are a few favorites from the day.
Jessica and Cole came over from Seattle to work on some wedding details and we were able to squeeze in their engagement session (and just in time before I had baby!). There were so many good ones of these two, it was hard to narrow any down.
I just visited my blog and realized I haven't posted anything since November! I guess with the holidays, selling and buying a house, moving, and the last months of pregnancy kept me busy enough along with the sessions I should've been posting. I have tons of sessions I could post, but I'll start with one photo of our newest addition: Axel Jeffrey Belyea, born on February 17th at 12:23am, 8 lbs 1 oz, 19 in. I'll be taking the month of March off from shooting to stay home and enjoy him and get used to 2 kids, but don't hesitate to contact me if you need to during this time!
Friends of ours, Raelena and Kyle, are finally engaged and planning their big event! Fall is Raelena's favorite time of year, so we were sure to get these done before the leaves were gone. Such pretty colors! We also were able to stop at the reception location for a few photos.
Cute couple - Megan and Alex! And small world... Megan grew up in the same city as me in Anchorage, AK and moved to the same city as I did to go to school, Spokane. Now she lives in the same town I was born in, Lewiston, ID. I love how small this world can be! Looking forward to their wedding in Spokane next August!
Levi was such a ham!
After 12.5 years Julie and Jamie are finally married! October 6, 2012 was the big day at Beacon Hill. Not being from Spokane, the majority of their family and friends had to travel to be here, but so many of them would have never missed this moment! They had clear blue skies and warm weather (until the sun went down... and probably not warm at all in the opinions of the travelers from warmer climates!). They honored Chinese tradition with a tea ceremony for their family following the ceremony. The bride and groom greet and serve tea to their relatives. Julie and Jamie had made just about everything at their wedding. They both contributed with all the DIY projects and had spent the last several months making and prepping these items together. Julie even made bouquets and boutonnieres! They are such a great couple together and they couldn't stop smiling at each other all day! It was a wonderful day to be a part of. I've also had Gangnam Style stuck in my head for a couple days since it was played 3 times, haha! :) Make-up: The Make-Up Studio, Hair: Salon Concepts, Florist: Fleur De Provence, Cake: Just American Desserts, DJ: Complete Music
