HI!!!
Hi, I'm Aeriell. I believe the best photographs don't just look beautiful — they feel like something. Based in Spokane and serving North Idaho and the Pacific Northwest, I'm a wedding and family photographer rooted in connection.
I've always been drawn to the way a moment feels more than the way it looks. The quiet glances. The way hands reach for each other without thinking. The laughter that bubbles up unexpectedly. The kind of memories that don't feel staged — they feel lived in.
Photography, to me, isn't about creating perfect images. It's about preserving what's real.
Why I do this
Life moves in seasons. One year you’re planning a wedding, standing on the edge of something new. The next, you’re holding a newborn who fits perfectly in your arms. Before you know it, you’re chasing toddlers through fields or holding hands with someone who feels like home.
These seasons pass quickly. My work is about slowing them down — just enough to hold onto.
I care deeply about the experience you have in front of my camera. I want you to feel comfortable. Seen. Supported. I want you to leave a session feeling like yourself, not like you had to perform.
Because the most meaningful images happen when you’re simply present.
My approach
My style is warm, nostalgic, and completely centered on the people in front of me. I gently guide when needed, but I let your moments unfold naturally — because the best ones always do.
You don't need to be a natural in front of the camera.
You don't need your kids to cooperate.
You don't need the day to go perfectly.
Whether I'm documenting a wedding day or a growing family, I focus on creating space for real interaction — movement, laughter, emotion, closeness. The in-between stuff. The things you didn't plan for but will never want to forget.
That's where the magic lives.
Testimonials
"My husband and I were so nervous — but from the moment we met, it was so easy to feel instantly comfortable with her. She made it such a natural, laid-back session, and I've worked with many photographers. She truly is an artist."
The Maddox Family
Testimonials
"We have avoided professional photos for years due to our son's sensory issues and our kids just being kind of wild — but she was so calm and patient with us the whole time. We even traveled from Tri-Cities to Spokane and I would do it again without hesitation."
