WELCOME BABY RYLAND | LIFESTYLE NEWBORN PHOTOGRAPHY | SPOKANE WA

In the past 4 months I cannot believe I have been blessed to photograph five beautiful newborns!! I don't advertise that I take newborn photos but when I have friends who specifically ask me to capture this new chapter of their family's life I jump on it. It is such an honor to be part of their growing family. It is so special to know that the moments that I capture are the photos that will be on their walls and in their albums forever!

Now, please join me in welcoming Mr. Ryland Graham into the Vandament family!!! This little guy has been prayed for and fought for by mommy and daddy and their whole tribe. Catherine, Ross and Camille live down the street from me... like I can literally see their front stoop from my front stoop and I have known them for about 2 years now. Cat is also my trusty Noonday Ambassador! Never heard of Noonday Collection? Please do yourself a favor and check them our now!!

So as it goes, we have had many conversations about struggling to grow our families while journeying through infertility. Cat & Ross walked through 8 rounds of IVF to have their beautiful daughter. And so when they moved to Spokane with their 4 year old and years on struggling underneath their belts they prayed about growing their family and ultimately heard God call them to pursue adoption.

And with a spirit of obedience that's exactly what they did. They decided to pursue a local adoption and were matched after a long time waiting! Little Ryland was born March 7th and came home on March 18th. That little boy is so loved beyond measure by everyone who knows Cat and Ross's long way to get to him. And most importantly deeply and truly loved by the One who created him. The One who had Cat and Ross picked out to be his mama and papa since the beginning of time.

And to top it all off, he was a dream for our session!! Ryland was only awake for a teeny bit of the session to photograph his handsome eyes and then slept like a champ the rest of the session. Thank you Cat, Ross, Camille and Ryland for choosing me to capture this amazing new season of growing your family. I had such a wonderful day with you. Enjoy this peek into our session together!
