Miss Abbie { Turns 1!!}

These sessions are so fun! It is great to see how much they have grown up in the first year and celebrate by having a cake smash. Abbie wasn't too sure about smashing the cake but eventually she got into it and had a great time! The cake was super cute and made by Dani Morris with Piece of Cake Creations. She did a great job! So great that I will be using her for future cakes for these special sessions!

Miss Tenley {9 Months old}

Wow how time flies! It seems like this little girl was just in the studio yesterday. She has grown so much since her last session, but she still has an adorable smile and gorgeous blue eyes! She made my job pretty easy during this session. We were done in about half and hour and that included some clothing changes. She is just such a ham behind the camera! Love that smile! I cannot wait to do her cakesmash session when she turns 1!

Helena Athletic Club Cheer Teams

These kids were so much fun to work with! I was a little intimidated because I haven't photographed sports teams yet but I was excited about the challenge. Everything went great! The kids were naturals in front of the camera and we got some great individual and team portraits. And just a couple of weeks after our session they took Nationals. Congratulation HAC Cheer!

Kayla & Wyatt {Gettin' Hitched}

This session was so fun and so hard to keep a secret for a few weeks before they enounced their elopement to their family and friends. We had a great session capturing the two of them! They are such a fun couple and were really great to work with. The best part was putting together their announcements to mail out the day they left for Las Vegas to get married. I had so much fun putting them together and helping them surprise everyone. Congratulations Kayla & Wyatt!!

Springtime!

Well March got a way from me! It seems like once the weather started getting a little nicer the busier I got. I even had a chance to make it up to Freezeout Lake to photograph the migrating geese. It was amazing!!! So, there will be lots of updates to the blog documenting March sessions and what is going on around here. I also will be sharing some more information on pricing, the reasons behind my changes and why they are GOOD for you! Hope you all are having a great spring so far and enjoying the weather!

Miss Ava {3 Month Old}

Awww! She is such a doll and so easy to photograph. I just love seeing how these little ones change from when they are born to each of their milestones. I have been able to capture her since she was in the womb, to her birth, and newborn session. And now we are embarking on her 3 month milestone. My how they change in just a short period of time! That is why I think it is so important for parents to document their child through photographs their first year. I know when I look back at my own children's photos it is amazing how much they change.

Isaac {1 year old!}

Isaac is such a sweet little boy! We had a great session getting some photographs of the whole family and taking some of just him. He has the prettiest blue eyes and a smile that is contagious! He was so cute when we were trying to get him to smile. His Mom would sing for him and he would just light up! I just love capturing these emotions for parents. Our children grow up way to fast and being able to capture expressions that will last a life time is so precious.

Carlos {1 year old!}

This little guy is so handsome!! He was a ham for the camera and has a smile that just lights up the room. Mom wanted to get some shots of her and Carlos since she has not had any done yet. We got some great black and white shots of the two of them together that captured their personalities and the bond that a mother has with her young child. I really enjoy taking black and white photos, they are probably one of my favorites, because they take away all the distractions and really draw out the emotion between the subjects.

Braxton {3 Months old}

This little guy is so adorable!! And 3 months old already!! I just love this little guy. His little mohawk is so cute and has the greatest smile! Big brother joined us in the studio this time to get a few pictures with his little brother. They are some pretty cute boys! I look forward to our future sessions with Braxton and his family. It has been great getting to know them and caputuring Braxton even before he was born.

A rough start to the New Year

The end of 2013 was a very tough one for me and my family. We found ourselves in the middle of a situation that every parent dreads. Someone tried to harm my daughter. While their attempt was unsuccessful, thank God, just the fact that it happened is shocking and unbelievable. I thank God my daughter is safe and no more harm was done, but this situation has completely rocked my world and that of my family. I never thought in a million years that I would have to deal with this type of situation, but even in the midst of this I can see God's grace. He allowed this to happen so nothing else would. And although relationships have been lost and ruined in the midst of this, I know that the doors have been closed for a reason, God is trying to protect me and my family. I am thankful for His protection and His strength to get through this and I know God will provide justice under His terms. In the meantime, I apologize to all my clients for not being as available as I would like. I have not had the time, drive or motivation to deal with business as usual due to this situation. I am trying to get back into the swing of things but it may take me some time to get caught up and focused on the new year ahead. I have some great things planned for my photography business this year and I am hoping I can get through this icky mess quickly so I can focus, but only God knows how long this is going to take and what is going to happen in the end.
