Paula & Olivia

Wow this month has flown by!! I am finally getting some time to sit down and catch up on some blogging. I started the month off by spending a Sunday afternoon taking pictures of my Mom's best friend and her daughter. We had such a good time in the studio and in Reader's Alley in downtown Helena. They are both so photogenic! And Olivia is turning into such a beautiful young woman! She has always been cute but I cannot believe how much she has grown up over the last year! And to think just a few years ago she was my flower girl in my wedding. Time goes way to fast!

This was such a FUN shoot for me! The location reminded me of Glendive, MT where my husband is from and it was just perfect for this family! They ride their bikes out here all the time and they really wanted something that captured them and their lifestyle. It was great to catch up with these two (who I graduated High School with) and finally meet their adorable kids. Misty and Bill are still such a cute couple and after all these years of being together they are still totally in love. And their kids are such mini-me's of them! It was so much fun watching them ride around on their bikes. It amazes me that their kids are already so good at riding! Their daughter is #2 in the state for her age group! Totally AWESOME! And their son is a little dare devil, following in the foot steps of his Dad!

What a beautiful wedding! It was full of emotion and TONS of fun! Branna and Peter are an adorable couple and it was a pleasure capturing their special day. The setting was beautiful and the weather was perfect. And the Bride was gorgeous! I fell in love with her dress and her boots! She was absolutely stunning! This is my last wedding of the year and I don't plan on doing anymore after this, but this one sure made me rethink my decision. I absolutley love weddings, but they are a ton of work, and right now do not work well with my family life. I couldn't have asked for a more perfect wedding to end with. Thank you Peter & Branna for letting me capture your special day!

All I can say is adorable!! He is soooo cute! I just love babies. I was so excited to finally meet this little guy after doing maternity pictures of his Mama last month. I knew he was going to be adorable. Mom and Dad brought him in this past Sunday and we spent a couple hours getting some amazing pictures that I am sure they will LOVE! They had some great ideas and props they brought in for his session and I was in heaven. What Montana girl doesn't like a HUGE set of Elk sheds? They were beautiful and look great surrounding this little guy. I also loved the fact that they brought in the little guy's Grandpa's saddle for some pictures. What a neat way to capture some family history. This session was great and I look forward to taking more pictures of this little guy as he grows up! Thanks for sharing him with me Ty & Kayla!

Spencer & Taylor

These two are such cuties! This was a great session and we got some pretty cute pictures of this brother and sister. Spencer is all things cowboy and couldn't wait to put on all his gear! He had a blast riding on the rocking horse and even sitting on a real saddle. His Mom is sure he will talk about it for ever! And Ms. Taylor is so adorable! I just loved her little romper set. Could she get any cuter!

My friend Jen bought a gift card for her boyfriend for Father's Day! What a great gift! He was so excited to have pictures done of just him and his kids. It was great to get to finally meet him and his kids! They were all so great! We had a fun time taking pictures out at their place. I always love taking pictures of people with their pets, especially horses! I think these turned out great and really captured who they are.

I was thrilled when Janae told me her Mom was interested in booking me to take their family portraits for their entire family while her brother Colin was home on leave. This was a FUN session and went really well considering how many pictures we took! Jeanette came all prepared with her list of photos she wanted. I can't wait to see what little project she is putting together with all of these photographs. We did individual pictures of everyone and then LOTS of group pictures! Colin was home for a week from Kansas and his Mom wanted him in his Blues. So we got pictures of him in his Blues with everyone and then in street clothes. He was such a great sport considering how HOT is was out!
