Zaryn | spokane family photographer

I loved getting to know this family this year. Zach was my husband's college room mate long long ago. When we found out last year they were moving up to Spokane, we were excited that we would get to know the whole family. Lisa is quite the go getter. Her and her GPS were all over town with her sweet little girl Zaryn in tow. Every time I would think of something fun for her to try in town, she had already been there done that! They took advantage of the beautiful fall and let me drag them around to my secret hiding spots!

I love this little girl! Lisa and I have been prearranging her marriage with my son!

And here are a few pictures of my own kiddos. Simply because they are so cute!

I was just going through my blog posts in a massive attempt to play catch up and realized that I never got around to posting these fun pictures of my sis-in-law and her boys. Our families had a few days in CA together but apparently the clouds follow us around. Despite the sun hiding, we got some pretty cute picts.

Here are a few pictures of my sweet sweet niece that came to visit us over Thanksgiving. There seems to be a pattern that whenever we have family coming into town during the winter it snows like mad! There wasn't enough snow though to stop my sister-in-law and me from getting some Black Friday shopping done!

It is hard to believe that after all of the crazy snow here in November, we are sitting here in January with nothing but little piles left in our yard. It would be nice to get a little bit more snow, but just a bit!

As much as I love photography, I sometimes forget to take pictures of my own kids. This year I MADE myself take the kids out. It always consists of lots of complaining about mom making them go take pictures, but they usually have fun and I don't have to bribe them with anything more than a trip to Sonic happy hour! This year was such a beautiful fall and it was SO worth the effort to drag the kids out to play with the leaves.

Meet Colton and Dylan. Don't you think they could be in a Gymboree ad? Such cuties!  Dylan and my little guy are in the same preschool class and they adore each other.  They have a play date every week and the things they say to each other are priceless!  I had such a great time hanging out with this family despite the bad weather.  Thanks for hanging in there with me guys!
