Spokane Family and maternity Photographer

Spokane and Coeur d’Alene photographer for families, couples, newborns, and motherhood. I specialize in lifestyle photography that celebrates the beautiful ordinary —the quiet, authentic moments filled with laughter, love, and the beauty of simply being together.

Authentic family & motherhood photography

Hey I'm Shay your Spokane Family and Maternity photographer

Creativity has always been part of who I am. My camera is simply the tool I use to tell the story unfolding in front of me.
I’m drawn to the beautiful ordinary—the quiet, real moments that reveal love and connection.

The photographs hanging on my own walls are daily reminders of the memories I’ve made raising my girls and being their mom. I want the same for you—images that take you back to how it felt.
Documenting connection is what drives my work, especially the deep, undeniable bond between mothers and their children—both the little ones in their arms and the babies they’re still carrying.

Although I base my maternity photography business out of Spokane and Kootenai County, I travel frequently to Seattle and Los Angeles CA.
