Living in Mattawa, I am literally an hour from everywhere. I always tell my clients when they feel bad about me driving that we literally drive an hour to go grocery shopping. Places we’re an hour from: Yakima, Wenatchee (it’s a little over an hour), Othello (a little under), Tri-cities, Moses Lake….I think you get the idea. And then we’re about 2.5 hours from both Spokane and Seattle. When I say I live in the middle of nowhere, i mean it! 🙂 It does keep things interesting though, and makes it so I can be a family photographer for people who don’t just live here.

This family is one that has had me photographing them for a few years now!! I was one of the first to see their littlest when he was born when we did his newborn photos, and he pooped on me! Hard to forget that one! HA! And I was about 37 weeks pregnant. He was just prepping me for what was to come!

Last year, we did these guys’ photos at the Yakima Arboretum and they turned out so great that we decided to do them there again this year! This may feel a bit like deja vu! 🙂

Thanks guys for having me out again this year! It’s always fun to see those crazy boys grow! 😀

Here they are, again! The Hakes!
