“We hired Brett to do our family trip photo shoot when we visited Oahu. We LOVE, LOVE, LOVE, all the pictures he took. He was so good at what he does and he did an exceptional job. He took many creative pictures that we would have never imagined taking. With kids, it is usually hard to get a good family picture. However, Brett was so good with the kids that we did not have any issues getting our photos taken :). Thank you Brett for the amazing photos and your professional, fun attitude! Highly recommended!” - Gana S.

Spokane Family Packages

We have three basic family portrait packages available to cover nearly every budget. Each package can be used for Newborn, Children’s, Family, Couples & Maternity Photography. Generally, we take between 200 - 250 images during a 60 min session from which you get to choose your favorites.

*SOOC stands for “Straight Out Of Camera,” unedited proofs. See example images here.
**Edited images are edited for color, white balance, exposure, cropping, straightening, etc, as well as general clean up. Editing is at the discretion of the photographer. Does not include “photoshopping.” All the images shown on this website were edited & delivered as shown.

Just So We’re Clear - We’re Not Like Most Photographers…

Unlike most other local photographers, we do things a bit differently. We like to keep things simple and we prefer a more casual approach to our senior portrait sessions.

First, we don’t have separate session packages followed up by additional print selection packages. We have one simple price with one simple product: digital images. Yes, you can purchase prints through us (from your online gallery) and we’re happy to help you with that, but you don’t need to purchase prints through us. Ever.

Second, we’re strictly an on-location photographer - like local parks, mountains, forest, rivers, cool local spots, etc. All year around. We like to be outside in nature, even when it’s not so beautiful or perfect. So if having every hair perfectly in place is important to you, a studio photographer would be a better option. Our moto is “real over perfect.” Of course, we still try to show you at your best but we don’t sweat the small stuff.

After The Session
After your session, your Oahu family photographer will upload your SOOC images to an online gallery for viewing, downloading and selecting the images you want edited. In your gallery, you'll be able to purchase prints as well as additional edited images if you desire (see our FAQ’s page for more info). Once you've decided on the prints and sizes you'd like to order, we will do a final touch up edit on your selected images before sending them to the printer.

Besides the usual prints, there are many other great products that you may enjoy, such as custom crafted collages (see images below), canvas fine art, albums, photo books and more.

"Our extended family of 20 people traveled from Utah to vacation in Hawaii. While we were there we wanted family pictures on the beach. Brett was amazing!! He was prompt in his communication before the shoot, he was on time, knew right where to go for the best backdrop, patient with all the little kids we had and was very professional. He was fun, kept the little kids excited and got them to smile. He was kind and we all felt very comfortable. We will definitely use Lightness Photography as our Oahu family photographer again. Thank you, Brett, for an amazing experience!" -Maxfield Family
