The early years with your little one are a beautiful blur of sleepless nights, endless diaper changes, and tiny, heart-melting smiles. So much happens in that first year, and adjusting to being a new mom can feel like navigating through a constant "mom fog." Those long days turn into fleeting years, filled with moments you never want to forget.
Don't let those precious memories get lost in the fog. You need someone to help capture the love, the joy, and the magic of these early days before the next chapter unfolds. That someone is me—Rachel Mann, your Spokane Newborn Photographer.
As a mom of young children, I completely get it. When you think of newborn photos, "easy peasy lemon squeezy" might not be the first thing that comes to mind. You might be imagining stress, forced smiles, tired eyes, cranky babies (or spouses), and the endless bribing to keep your little ones still. Let me assure you—this is not how our session will go!
I specialize in creating a calm, enjoyable experience that transforms your worries into wonderful memories. From detailed planning to personalized styling, I take care of everything. Imagine a session where:
I assist with every step of the preparation process, providing guidance and support to ensure everything is in place.
Whether you want help coordinating outfits or choosing the perfect setting, I’ve got you covered.
Our sessions are not timed and go at your baby's pace. Need to pause for a feeding or diaper change? No problem! We take all the breaks necessary to keep everyone comfortable and happy.
A baby is little only once
These early years may feel like a whirlwind, but they are filled with precious moments you'll want to remember forever. Let me help you capture them with beautiful, timeless photographs. You can count on my experience and understanding to create an atmosphere of calm in the chaos, ensuring that your family feels at ease and enjoys the process.
Remember, babies grow up faster than you can say "naptime." Don't let this precious time slip by without capturing it.
So, take a deep breath and know that you’re in good hands. Together, we’ll create beautiful memories of these fleeting moments—before they become tomorrow's stories.

Since babies have their own schedules, we base your session date on your due date. I usually recommend planning the newborn session within 2 weeks of that date. If your little one arrives earlier or later than expected, we can easily adjust the session date. However, many parents prefer to stick with the original plan.
While our sessions are not timed, typically a newborn sessions runs about 60-90 minutes. We'll pause as needed for diaper changes and snack time because, let's be honest, baby is the boss here. If they need a break, we take a break—no rush at all!
It’s best to reach out as soon as you know you’d like to work with me. For some moms, that’s in their first trimester, for others it’s during their second, and a few might find me right before delivery while juggling those last-minute to-dos. I only take a limited number of families each month, and while I try to fit in those last-minute requests, I can’t promise there’ll always be space. So, to make sure your due date is saved, get in touch early—before you’re too busy counting contractions!
Kind Words
Rachel did an amazing job capturing photos of our family. We had just welcomed our third baby boy into the family, and life was absolute chaos. I really appreciate her ability to get photos of OUR family and what life really looks like for US. They are beautiful and unique and…perfect.
