Newborn photography located in spokane, and surrounding areas.

Getting newborn photos done vs. living in the moment with a photographer present. Two very different things.

Being 3 months postpartum, I just had my own newborn photos taken. Understand that stress. We had scheduled the newborn session in the morning. Last minute, we had a chance to be squeezed in to a well child check up, so bright and early I woke up with my newborn, and drove into Spokane. I called my husband before the session, on my way home, to please make sure the house was cleaned up.

I gave him a check list:

Get the dishes put away, but if there is a few that's ok.

Put our two oldest boys in neutral undies and a whatever t-shirt they want.

leave the little shoes out,

brush the kids teeth and clip their nails

wipe off the table

make our bed

When I got home I immediatly brushed my teeth again, and through some curls into my greasy hair.

My outfit was undies, and my favorite tank top. I answered the door in my underwear, I think it helped to be naked right away instead of awkwardly stripping in front of my photographer pal. I wanted raw photos. Our photographer came and all the stress melted away. We had coffee, snacks, and just soaked in the fleeting newborn moments.

(tearing up writing this)

I am so grateful for those photos. That tiny person who swam in newborn clothes is now stretching out a 6-9 month onsie. He doesn't fit into a ball on my chest anymore, he takes up most of my tummy now.

Those quiet moments are louder now.

I miss it.
