Check out this active fam!  When they aren’t skiing they are riding their skate/long boards or bikes.  So much fun!

First off – I think it’s about time for a special.   New year? Let’s start it of with a bang!  all of you moms to be -listen closely!  Any newborn session booked by January 31st for anytime in 2012 may choose either 50 custom announcements or 3 mini…

While I was photographing this fun session I couldn’t get the “Come Fly with Me” Sinatra song out of my head.  I knew from our pre-consult discussions about the concept and wardrobe that this would be a special shoot, but it was amazing to see it come together!  They did…

You might remember these little guys from their golf shoot (see it here), it was one of my all time favorites.  I have been photographing them since they were babes, I love watching their personalities emerge, they are hilarious!  This particular day was freezing and windy as all…

This was one of my favorite holiday shots this season.  Check out these gorgeous kids adoring their little brother.  They are such a fantastic family, I’m so happy for them, Sean Phillip is a wonderful new addition!

I loved photographing these kiddos and families during the last of my fall minis.  Some old friends, some new – they were all fabulous to work with and left with great pics for their custom Christmas cards!  Thanks guys for a fun afternoon!

This little gal might look familiar – her adorable face helped announce and “shout from the rooftops” my studio opening.   Here is her adorable family – they are sooooo nice.  You may know we have lived in many different parts of the country, and we have wonderful friends…

I couldn’t deny you a shot of the fantastic Fellmans from a short and sweet mini.

Congrats for pulling off these fun hats and making it look good! You guys are my heroes. I’m thrilled when we can get classic gorgeous pics and then throw in some personality.  Thanks for a fun shoot!

I LOVE this family, I have been photographing them for years and I adore watching them grow.  This shoot was on a freezing fall morning and they still worked it.  Grandma and Grandpa pics always pull at my heartstrings.  I got teary when watching the slideshow with Dana, kind…

Loved this adorable group- really how cute are these kids?  We had a great time, soaking up some of the last warm weather, and playing with horses.  Little man started the shoot completely nervous in the saddle and after a bit was an old pro. These two little ones…

I love this family!  I have photographed them for the last few years and every time I am horrified that I will pee my pants sometime during the shoot laughing.  They are hilarious, and they aren’t afraid to show their goofy side which I adore!  We decided to go…

What can I say about this fabulous family?  I met Jim at a wedding in Flathead over a year ago and I have had the pleasure of working with him ever since.  I’ve enjoyed photographing the Lil’ Sprouts campaigns and getting to know the incredible staff at Gainan’s.  We…

It was a gorgeous fall morning when we took these shots.  Everyone was happy and even the shy little miss warmed up after just a few minutes.  It was great!  I love the images of the mom and dad with the kids individually, how joyfully mom and daughter look…

You may recognize this first picture, it graced the full back page of  last months Simply Family Magazine. It is pretty sad when it makes it into Simply Family before I even blog it, I’m so far behind, but I don’t want to leave out any of my amazing…

Thanks so much to everyone that attended the fabulous grand opening on Friday!  It was so great to see everyone’s smiley faces and to see their response to our new space.  If you didn’t get a chance to come, please swing by, we’d love to see you!

$500 towards any…

I can’t believe the Grand Opening of my custom designed studio and gallery is tonight!  I hope you will come join us, have a bite, take a look around and come enjoy a gorgeous space with some friends.  This has been a LONG time coming, we started this process…

Each of the images below is a very small part of something larger. Any Guesses?

This family was adorable!  They obviously have so much fun together.  I would have loved to have a picture of my dad rocking out with me when I was little, I have no doubt this will be a much loved pic at their house for many years.

I was so excited when I talked to this mom about her son’s passion, I knew the shoot would be fabulous.  He is a jr. drag racer and competes all summer throughout Montana.  His grandpa met us with the race car and he was all geared up in his…

I love when parents are excited about getting images of their kids being completely them  - these sisters love to dress up, so it seemed like the perfect thing to do at our session.  They were so excited to get into their favorite “costumes” and play outside with me….

I did a thank you in the Billings Gazette and will have another one in the paper this weekend but wanted to be sure and thank you on the blog as well!  Thank you for the Billings Reader’s Choice Award,  ”Best Children’s Photo Studio”.  I was so surprised and…

Here you have it – the rest of the minis from that rainy day.  You would never know that it was drizzling the whole time when you look at everyone’s happy faces, I really do have the best clients!!  LalalalaLOVE them!!

I had to give you a little taste of the minis from last week!  I have more amazing people to show on the next post, but couldn’t resist a quick preview.  Minis are fabulous, quick and dirty, and a fun way to meet new clients as well as see…

I love photographing this family when they are all in town together.  The cousins love goofing around and playing, it’s so great to watch them enjoy each other so much!  We had a fabulous location this year.  We went to their “garage” where they hold all of their amazing…

I love this family!  I photographed their wedding, it was one of my favs. (you can see it here)  so –  I was so excited when Kelsey called and told me she was expecting number two!  They are so loving and adorable.  This is one lucky little babe that…

I can’t believe that it was nearly 90 last weekend, and today I’m wearing a sweater and turned on the heater!  Craziness!  Looking at these pics makes me long for warmer, carefree days.  This family is so wonderful!  I photographed them for the first time last year during a…

I couldn’t wait to show you a sneak peek of the first round of minis – everyone was adorable!  I loved seeing old friends and meeting some new.  I couldn’t get enough of this first baby, over the years there have been a few babes that I fall head…

Mom called me a couple of months before the shoot and we talked about what she had in her mind, when I asked her about what her perfect shot would be, she said that she envisioned some of the pictures all in white, we discussed other possibilities but she…

It’s that time of year again! Can you believe it? The first sight of yellowing leaves means it’s time for the Fall extravaganza to begin. So here we go: it’s time for Fall Mini Sessions! We started keeping a Fall Mini list in the early summer and are putting…

When Jordan’s mom called me with her idea a few months ago I was blown away, Jordan was going to have a sweet 16 to remember.  The entire plan was top secret, a full day of activities was planned and when Jordan woke up she was given the itinerary….

I can’t believe how fast summer flew by, I think the chilly June made our summer days seem even less this year.   The kids were so excited to go to school today and reunite with friends in their classes. Ty of course had to get in the act,…

I LOVED photographing these girls!  They showed up with the most fantastic clothing/accessory options, I would be thrilled to get dressed out of their closet every morning.  They were so kind to each other, it’s great to see siblings get along so well. Thanks for the fun, fun girl…

I love photographing families with kids these ages, they are so willing and happy to show their love for everyone in their family, they haven’t hit the embarrassed stage and they give me so many expressions and a million different smiles.  This family recently moved back to Billings from…

I have been photographing this little “peanut” ever since she was a newborn, I can’t believe she is turning three!!!  I hadn’t seen her in a year and she was so big and grown up.  Her mom warned me multiple times before the shoot how active and sometimes stubborn…

It seems to me that boys this age are either into trucks/cars or super heros, this little guy was definitely all about anything with a motor, he was a little hesitant to start the session but once we climbed onto the tractors he was all smiles.  It was a…

We had an eventful holiday weekend, Chris had to go to home to Toronto for a family funeral, so I had 5 days with the kids, we decided to make it memorable.  A few of our adventures included; taking a trip to Candy Town (always a highlight), swimming with…

Here she is –  Gracie!!!!  The cutest puppy ever!  We went and picked her up in Idaho Falls this weekend, the kids were over the moon.  It has been pretty lonely around our household since Cole passed away last August.  We were debating when and if to get another…

I had to share some of my favorites from a recent shoot, I had such a hard time deciding what to blog, there were soooo many cute ones, these little guys are full of personality and gave me a ton of great looks, this age is hilarious, they don’t…

This week has gone by soooo fast.  With the kids home and summer in full swing the weeks are flying by, there has been so much exciting stuff going on, I have tons of blogging to catch up on so stay tuned…….

This little baby girl is surrounded by so…

This weather has definitely been a hindrance on shoots lately,  but my fabulous mini clients persevered and braved the sprinkling rain to come to the downtown Gainan’s and play with me for a few, we were outside on the flower filled patio when the weather would permit and in…

Thought I would post a few pics from the session I did in central California of my dear friend Kim and her family.  Her hubby’s job (doesn’t he look like harry connick jr here?) requires them to move about the country, they have had the fortune of living on…

We had a great time in California, we visited our amazing friends then headed up north to celebrate and photograph my sister’s wedding in breathtaking wine country,  (I can’t wait to share pictures) all of it was fabulous until it was time to go home… and I have never…

is being a mom to these three little people.  I know it’s totally cliche but so true.  When things get crazy, I sometimes find myself taking a deep breath, a step back and  refocusing on what really matters. Ultimately them, their happiness, well being, them knowing without a doubt…

I will never forget this shoot, Nicole called me and told me about her diagnosis of bile duct cancer and her need for a liver transplant, she was about to go start her treatment at the Mayo clinic and wanted to do a family session to capture her life…

does the edge of anyone else’s tub look like this right now?  Don’t get me wrong, girls are a blast, I adore mine, but I love having a boy.  I didn’t have any brothers, so it was estrogen overload at my house growing up, (my poor dad). I get…

lalalaLOVE repeat clients!  (you can take a peek at their previous sessions here and here) It’s so fun to watch them grow!  Even though it was chilly we decided to take advantage of the snow and have a little fun.  Thanks guys for a great afternoon.  btw -…

I lalalaLOVE this family!  I first met them when I photographed this little babe, that session turned out to be one of my all time favorite newborn shoots. (you can see it HERE) I loved working through the entire process with them and was looking forward to documenting…

This family was great!  I met them when the youngest boy was photographed for the cover of Simply Family magazine last year, he goes to the same marital arts studio as my daughter Taylor, he is so polite and kind.  They wanted to take advantage of their eldest son…

I couldn’t post a, “Happy New Year”,  greeting without showing a few pics from a wintery session.  I love this dear little family!!!!!!

I just finished a trip down memory lane and looked back at all of the fabulous people I had the good fortune of working with this past…

This fabulous mom sent me a pic of what she had done with her family session from this fall, and I realized that I had failed to blog them, yikes!, but I wanted to be sure and share this fun family with you.  She had incorporated the words: bikes,…

Can you believe it is almost Christmas?!?  After working on this little Santa, I’m pumped, ready to go….I’ve been doing so much for work lately, I’ve really got to get this holiday stuff done, most importantly, shopping.  I did get one gift for the kids last week that I…

Here it is, the last session that I have to share with you that involves fall colors.  We were out and romping through the leaves on what I think was the last nice day before the crazy snow hit.  When I look at these pictures now it seems like…

I love the Christmas season, I can’t believe it is already here!  Time flies!    I have the Christmas music softly playing and the aroma of the freshly cut Christmas tree we “hunted” in Red Lodge with friends yesterday wafting through the air .  I am also, loving editing these…

I had been anxiously waiting for the day that I would meet and photograph Phoebe, her baby to be session was one of my all time favorites (see it here), I was so excited to meet her!  She didn’t disappoint.  She was so tiny and adorable and of…

I have photographed these families before and they are a joy, you may recognize the girls from the Gainan’s Little Sprouts campaign, of course they sported their adorable duds from that great boutique store.  Cousins are a blast to photograph because their interactions with each other are completely…

This family was so fabulous!  I know what a nightmare it can be to get clothes together for a photoshoot, especially for 7 people!, and mom pulled it off, great job!  I lalalalaLOVE  watching families work together and egg each other on during shoots, it is hilarious to watch/listen…

These boys were a hoot!  You can tell this family loves to play, laugh and have fun together, the parents were so nice and hilarious as well. Sometimes during shoots I think to myself,  I would love to hang out with these guys, this was one of those times….

This little miss is one of the luckiest babes I know.  She is surrounded by a family that completely adores her right from the get go.  I always thought it would be great to have an older brother to watch my back and she has three!  She had everyone…

I love these little guys, I have been photographing them since they were newbies, their last shoot (see it here) was so fun, we were wondering how to top it.  I have to admit, the older they get the more fun I have running around attempting to keep…

and the river.  This family was so easy and fun to photograph, we had a blast enjoying one of the last gorgeous fall days.  I love when siblings feed off of each other, the two pics below were among my favs.  Thanks for a fun morning!

It is so fun to photograph friends, the kiddos were fabulous and full of energy and smiles.

So here is the opposite of the All Boys post from a couple of days ago….this fine family is graced with three lovely daughters that make dad the odd man out.  (good thing he is so easy going and laid back)  They were perfectly dressed and accessorized which made…

This was a great shoot because I got to see all of these boys in action.  The parents are good friends of ours and oddly enough I hadn’t ever spent any time with the kids.  They have boys, we have more girls so we had only played together as…

I love to try new and different places, there is something about the anticipation while driving up to the location, not knowing what will be around the corner, but fully aware that the finished product has to be fabulous,  every time I am thrilled when I arrive, my clients…

I realized that during all of this craziness I haven’t posted anything about the Graham fam.  We have had such a wonderful but busy month, company every other week, the hectic fall photo schedule and fun times with the kids.  I have so much to share but haven’t had…

What better way to show love than throwing hearts into the air?  I thought it would be fun for little miss to be involved and invested in the shoot, cutting out paper hearts was the perfect thing to do.  She was so excited to show me the hearts she…

First I have to announce the exciting news, you may have seen it in the Saturday paper!   I will be offering the last minis of the season at the Gainan’s downtown location on Saturday November 13th.  If you follow my blog it’s obvious the love that I…

Look at these adorable angel faces!  It is so funny to see the difference between girls and boys down at the water.  The girls carefully plop a rock in the water and are over it quickly, once boys figure out and get the ok to throw rocks you have…

This adorable family will be gracing the cover of Simply Family Magazine in November.  Molly had been wanting to do a family session for quite awhile and her fantastic hubby gifted her for their anniversary.   They were such a great family, the boys were adorable, can you…

This foursome was full of fun.  We clicked right away, they had just moved from Southern Ca (my hometown) back to her roots in gorgeous Montana.   I love photographing families with young children and watching them interact, soon they forget that I’m around and just start being “them”,…

I love photographing this family!  I have had the pleasure of working with them many times before and they are always up for a good time, cracking jokes, laughing and loving.  We were trying to figure out where to do the session, mom wanted something playful, she mentioned in…

Can you believe this incredible weather we’ve had?  This family totally took advantage of the sunny rays and came to play down by the river.  Thanks for a morning full of giggles!

I wanted to share some pics from the first round of fall minis.  I had the most adorable people to photograph, I am so lucky!  I had one return client and the rest were new faces, it’s great to see old clients and how much the kiddos have grown…

These dear friends of ours, a fun, young, family wanted something energetic, we decided to have a blast working the popcorn and wall-ah. These pics will be perfect in their theatre room!

I was so excited when collaborating with this mom about ideas for the shoot, after she told me all of her family’s interests and then added that they had an amazing old car, this is exactly what I envisioned.  The eldest is now a senior but didn’t want a…

My mom came upon this fabulous farm just outside of Bridger and now it has become one of our favorite places.  Dick and Patricia grow organic, u-pick veggies.  They welcome families and encourage you to get dirty; the kids love visiting and pulling out amazing veggies such as purple…

Check out this great new game that is about to hit the market!  Rob, the inventor of this fabulous family activity contacted me and asked me to give it a try, I was happy to oblige, and it was…

This little tot came all of the way from New Jersey to visit her family and have a session in gorgeous Montana.  I photographed her last year and was amazed at how much she had changed, one year goes soooo fast, she now has a full head of…

There was something about this session that made me joyful, crazy joyful.  I left this session and immediately called my photog friend and raved about how wonderful it was; sometimes the light is just right, the location amazing, the colors are fantastic, the clients completely trust you and show…

The late summer minis were crazy, I thought we would be taking advantage of the last of the warm weather and instead we were freezing our buns off in the early morning.  hint: (running around like a crazy person to get kids excited and distracted from the cold is…

Ty survived his first official week of preschool!  my baby…….I can’t believe  I am kid-less for 2.5 hours, twice a week.  At times it felt like it would never come, but now that it is here I’ll admit, I’m kind of sad.  Preschool is for such a short amount…

I’m SOOO excited to show you the sample holiday cards for 2010!  Here they are  - ready to go, all that they need is the favorite pics from your shoot this year and a personalized message, they will be the envy of all of your friends!  The custom, press…

This little miss loved pink, pink camouflage hat, pink favorite blankie and always two different crocs one purple, one pink.  Thanks for spending the morning to explore with me.

This shoot was great, mom was so excited to have professional pictures taken of her before she started kindergarten!  She told me that her 5 year old was a total girly girl and loved candy so we decided to do a fun themed session, show a little spunk and…

I can’t believe I have two kiddos in “real” school now.  Taylor is in second grade and Hailey started kindergarten, they are growing up way too fast.  I was a mess when Taylor went to kindergarten so I was a little bit nervous.  I was doing well this morning…

“Summer Afternoon – to me those have always been the two most beautiful words in the english language” – Henry James
I can’t believe that summer is almost over!  I am so sad that the kids are…

This was an adorable family, the parents are rock stars! 4 kiddos under the age of 5! I was in awe of how relaxed mom was.  I love incorporating things that are important to the family, this vintage baby carriage was the grandmother’s and the gorgeous white blanket was…

I photographed one of my favorite families this morning and couldn’t resist sharing a sneak peek.  I have been photographing this family for a few years and I can’t believe their baby just turned one!  It seems like yesterday that we shot her newborn pics, check them out

Tons of sisters lately! It is so funny how it goes in waves,  bundles of newborn love, then boys everywhere running around in circles, high school seniors, sisters giving each other sweet hugs and making each other giggle, thrown in with a few weddings.  I have the best job…

This mom wanted to do a photo shoot of her family before her dear husband was deployed for the second time.  I was honored that she called me to capture this time in their lives.  It was really important to her to have great images of her hubby and…

They say a picture is worth a thousand words…… so here it is, our vacation from last week with a few little thoughts thrown in.   We are a road trip family, we always drive crazy distances, like the day long 15 hour drive to Telluride, CO.  Chris had…

This shoot was another father’s day surprise, the majority of father’s day surprises were of sisters, I think it’s the dad/daughter thing.  Moms know that more than anything else in the world the most precious gift for a dad would be his daughters captured beautifully.  These sisters were so…

This couple came all the way from Sheridan to do their engagement pics.  They were troopers, the groom to be was feeling under the weather and I had them hopping fences and giving it their all.  Thanks for working it. They are huge Broncos fans so we wanted to…

It is great having all of the kids home 24/7 during the summer, except for my constant nagging about picking up their stuff (seriously will they ever get it?).  The girls are having a blast playing together, it seems like since Taylor has been in school they don’t have…

These 6 year old twins were so hilarious!  They had the best personalities, we had such a blast running around and chatting nonstop.  I love when kids chatter constantly and tell me all about their lives, it is so fun to get to know them.  Thanks girls for the…

What is going on, crazy summer weather?  Everyone is complaining but I have to admit I’m enjoying it.  The cool summer days remind me of where I grew up on the beach and the cloud filled sky, perfect lighting for pics.  Mom was a little nervous because it was…

Time for some happy fun pics! So the last week it seems like it has been gloom and doom, crashed site, putting our dog down….  It’s about time to show you some of the great sessions that I have had in the last week, many have been father’s day…

We shot this the day before graduation, her family was so proud of her.  Kendra is a great girl, it is obvious she will go on to do fabulous things in this world.  I can’t imagine how emotional I will be when my first graduates. Yikes – bring the…

i had to show you these cute kids! we did a fundraiser for the preschool, i took pics of each class when the baby chicks were visiting for the week and then did hailey’s class (that’s her in the middle) at their field trip on the farm.  i couldn’t…

we did this shoot right before this little misses preschool graduation. we did the same thing with her big brother a couple of years ago.  i feel honored that these families include me in their lives and let me photograph and document their children growing up, it is so…

I love when parents recognize that it is just as important to photograph their tweens as any other stage.  It seems like we go gaga over babies up until about age three then jump to senior pics in high school, what about all of the time in between?  Those…

This is a slideshow gallery, so grab a drink, have a seat and relax. (press play in the middle of the pic)

Can you believe how cute these kids are?

i photographed this little miss when she arrived, she has grown so much in the past year! I love this expression!

i had to share some pics from the fabulous mini sessions on Sat. (more to come tomorrow) have I mentioned lately how in LOVE i am with my clients?  many of whom have become friends.  Saturday was gorgeous and the weather was fantastic.

People often ask me about the Simply Family Magazine covers, thought I would share about this one.  I met Payton a couple of years ago while shooting his family, I thought he was adorable, he was easy to work with and his parents so nice.  I knew I…

Happy Mother’s Day to all of those super moms out there.  Ty is my little 3 year old super hero, he constantly has his super “t” cape on or his well loved incredibles costume that is very well loved.  You may have seen him flying through costco or target…

Emerson was the best baby, she is so adored by her family.  My kiddos are really close together, which has its advantages, but I now see how it would be fabulous to have a bit of space between them.  Mom was just drinking her in, enjoying every moment because…

I couldn’t help but show you a preview from today.  I have photographed these little guys since they were newborns, it is so fun to watch them grow!!  We had a great time on the putting green, they were hilarious!  I love their little personalities.

I lalalala LOVED shooting on the central ca coast, it was gorgeous with the vineyards etc.  We focused on the mom and kids in this shoot, since she is a great photog and has millions of pics of her own children that are fabulous but none with her, we…

Ed Walker our future Senator?  Before I left on vacation, Ed called me about taking some campaign pictures for the upcoming election.   I will try to be completely nonbiased in regards to politics but I can tell you how nice his family was, the kids were polite yet…

I got back last night from 4 days at WPPI (a photography convention) in Vegas. It was full of amazing speakers, trade shows and a million things now added to my “to do” list. It…

This baby was the sweetest ever, I was warmly welcomed in and spent the afternoon with this fabulous family and their new addition. His older brother is the cutest ever and we hit it off right away. I love his adorable baby parts, look at his little…

So I have been offering these amazing albums for the past 6 months as part of my collections and wanted to share them now that I am the company’s exclusive photographer for the area. The clients I have worked with during the past fall were able to see…

We visited my snowbirding in-laws in Phoenix a few of weeks ago. We happened to arrive during the storm of the century, flash floods, tornado warnings, the whole enchilada, so it was much colder than we anticipated, but at least it wasn’t snow. The night we arrived…

Mom and I were corresponding for quite awhile so I felt like I was getting together with an old friend the day of the shoot. I was pleasantly surprised when she opened the door and I recognized gorgeous little “H” from music class.

When I took this serious shot…

Hailey’s birthday was yesterday, my little monkey turned 5! I envisioned an urban photo shoot with fab clothes, just her and I, then reality hit, Ty desperately needed a nap and it was snowy and cold so we decided to get ready for her pajama birthday party early…

I always love when grandparents book shoots when all of the grandkids are in town and the family is together. I had the chance to photograph these sisters and cousins while they were visiting. The kids had a blast together, they were really fun to work with….

Baby “S” – turned one!! He is adorable AND quite adored! When Hailey saw me editing these pics she was convinced they were of her brother Ty when he was a babe. I had to show her baby “S”‘s mom before she believed me.

This first pic maybe one of my favorite newborn shots of all time, I just love the way they are gazing at their precious little baby, their skin looks creamy and fantastic, glorious!

I’m sure you tend to see people around town or when you have little kids…

This adorable pic was in the last issue of Simply Family magazine. Gotta love the pics with the dad and girls as well as mom and son, now that I have Ty I get it, the mom and son relationship, boys and their moms are just so sweet…

I realized in my last post I failed to acknowledge the new year. Hello New Year. I am still in blogging mode from the fall, wanting to share all of my fabulous families with you, but it would be awful of me to not recognize how busy…

I have photographed this family many times before, it’s great to get together and see how much the kids have grown and changed. I love my repeat clients.

As promised here is the other fab shoot from my afternoon in Red Lodge. I met Keith while photographing him for Simply Family Magazine, he told me about his company Healthy Pantry. It is the perfect fix for when you are in a rush or quandary …

I went to Red Lodge for two great shoots in one afternoon, the Waldron clan and another family which I will share with you later. Katie has talked to me about doing a shoot at her grandfathers ranch forever, I am so glad we had the chance to…

Check out this family -they braved the wind and cold with grace and managed to look fabulous, so impressed!

I photographed the cousins all together last fall so we did the same this year when they came into town and happily braved the COLD weather, but we also added a family shoot the following week. I was so excited to photograph this happy Billings family in the…

I know the fall is fantastic, but I thought it was time to post a recent newborn shoot to mix it up a bit. No one can resist a gorgeous baby! Welcome to the world Lily!

Here are the first round of mini sessions this fall, I picked one or two of my favs from each session to show you. Minis were a blast, wham, bam, amazing pics, and you’re on your way….. thanks guys! Stay tuned for the second round.

I have so…

Do you recognize this fun cover from the November issue of Simply Family Magazine? This family is so cute and fun, I think we giggled the entire time, mom and dad were so laid back and go with the flow it was fabulous, a great time was had…

You may recognize this little guy from inside the November issue of Simply Family Magazine. This family was braving the October cold spell when it was 22 degrees! They were happy and fun despite the temp, it’s amazing what a thermos of hot chocolate will do…

Check out these adorable girls! I put some canvas wraps up at the great pediatric dental office of Dr. Clarke and Dr. Wilgus. Megan’s happy smiling face is there to great you. I just photographed their family in the fall leaves so keep checking to see…

Can you believe this stunning photo? Sometimes when I take a picture I get goosebumps, not having anything to do with me, it’s just when the photography stars align, the subjects are gorgeous, the light hits them perfectly and they give me the look that shows connection and…

Can you believe how adorable this little guy is?

This may be one of my all time favorite shoots. Parents are always asking me what to have their children wear, this fab mom asked me if we could do something a little different, of course I am always ready to mix it up. She told me…

I know some photographers dread or even refuse to do an “extended family” shoot, but I have grown to love them, it is so fun to watch the family interact and the grandparents are on cloud 9 having all of their children and grandchildren around, pure bliss for them.

When I first photographed this little guy a year ago he was so timid, now he is a different guy, he was so open and comfortable and quick to smile. You’ve gotta love those gorgeous eyes!

This family is so fun, they were seriously giggling the whole time. Thanks for a fun evening. The piggy back pic is in the current issue of Simply Family mag, have a look when you get a chance.

Well we did it – here are some of the pics from the first Pride & Joy mini sessions, we had a great time and got some fab shots. I look forward to doing it again in the spring. Thanks!

This little girl was adorable! The family ordered a large museum mount of this first pic and I’m kicking myself for not taking a picture to show you, it was fabulous!

This shoot was so fun, I’ve gotten to know this family now over a couple of sessions and I love them. I told the little guy that there was a cricket in my camera so he was constantly getting really close for a better view. I saw…
