there is so much i love about this family!!!!! emily is also a photographer and works with mango ink, so i was connected to her through those two loves a while ago. when she found out i was coming to spokane, not only did she book a session right away…. she also offered to come with me and help on some of the sessions! what a love!!!! we got to hang out a few times and it seems like we have been friends for years! and then i got to meet her beautiful family…… oh my word!!! the girls are so stinkin’ sweet, calvin is FULL of energy and life and her husband mac is incredibly kind and happy. all around…… an amazing family to hang out with. we traipsed all over spokane and hit some more rural spots then some urban….. and they were happy to amuse me. emily also brought along an awesome orange chair from her house and it’s a good thing i was flying home or i would have STOLEN it!!! the mikkelsen family is amazing and it was so much fun photographing you all and hanging out!!!! and now for the good stuff…….
