Taking wedding photos are, of course, some of my favorite, but some might be surprised to know that some of my very favorite wedding pictures are mere pictures of the little details I don't want my brides to forget.
I love the simplicity of this photo.

Babies Make Me Smile

Babies make me smile.  I love their little feet and hands especially. I had looked very forward to shooting this little man for several months.  He wouldn't sleep for us, but he was a trooper and I still love the shots.  I snuggled him and kissed him--maybe the best part about any newborn shoot.  Big sister joined us for a few photos at the end--this was before she got distracted with the music in my studio and decided to dance.

Beautiful Day. Beautiful Family.

What a beautiful February day to capture some great shots and laughter.  It felt like Spring.  We braved Marsh Road and the mud in order to capture these.  I hope you enjoy them as much as I do.  I think they give a small "picture" of the love and laughter you share as a family, which is always so much fun to attempt to capture in a more journalistic way!

Flapper Glam

Miss A and I braved the cold this past weekend to do a shoot she had hired me a few months ago for.  We drove to Terry, MT, pulled over on one of the back roads and took some pretty cool shots.  Naturally, we had quite a few stares from folks driving by probably because the wind was blowing and though it was a "warmer for Montana winter day," it was still freezing.

I loved this shoot for many reasons, but mostly because Miss A gave me sass and was willing to dress up and play the part.  We shared some great laughs and great conversation.  Thanks for such a great time.

I love her sass in this one!

And we had to take some where she wasn't playing the role of a 1920's Flapper... ;)

I've always wanted to try a shot like this.  I'm going to allow myself more time this year to play, play and more play.  Because life is too short not to play.

Welcome!  I've been toying around with the idea of a blog for some time now.  After much deliberation, I've decided on something easy and familiar.  Every picture has a story.  The purpose of this blog is to tell more of the stories that come along with my photo shoots and the portraits.  Thank you for joining me on the journey.  ;)
