Gartner Wedding |Wedding Photographer Helena, Montana

A year ago my friend Leslie Livengood Photography asked me if I would be interested in helping shoot a wedding out in Bismarck again. I had never me the couple but I love the venue and said yes in hopes that it might be a bit cooler than the other wedding I helped shoot there. Well Bismarck does not disappoint, it was a beautiful and HOT day out once again. but well worth the trip. Markelle and Scott's wedding was gorgeous down to every last detail. The venue was decorated beautifully and despite the heat I think everyone had a great time. Lesie and I got some amazing images of them at the Heritage Center in Bismarck and the adjacent park. I love me some Montana but Bismarck does have some beautiful scenery despite the lack of mountains. I really enjoyed helping capture their day!

I have had the pleasure of photographing Kristi and her girls a few times now. Our sessions are alway so fun and it was nice to catch up with her since I didn't play softball this spring and summer. Her girls are both beautiful just like she is and they make my job pretty eash since they love the camera. For our session we added some fun photos of them in their softball gear in. It was fun trying out some new shots! I think they turned out great and I cannot wait to show them the rest.

I met Kaylee and her Mom last fall and I was so excited to take part in capturing her and Josh's big day. I absolutely love the venue and was excited to get the oppurtunity to shoot up there again. Little did I know that on the wedding day I would find out that Josh new my brother and he lived just a couple of houses down from us growing up. Small world! There wedding day was absolutey gorgeous and it was to date the funnest wedding I have had the honor of capturing. Kaylee and Josh are the cutest couple and perfect for each other. I am totally in love with some of the images we were able to capture on their day. Kaylee's dress was stunning and she looked gorgeous! And the wedding party was a little bit of a handful at times, but with the help of my second shooter Dawn Smartnick, we got some fun pictures.

Amelia's Birth Story | Birth Photographer Helena, Montana

Capturing birth stories is probably one of my favorite if not absolute favorite thing to photograph. It is such a special event to be asked to take part in and document. I know not everyone sees the value in it, but unless you have watched a slideshow or opened a custom made book after the birth of your child, there is nothing like it. I love hearing from my clients and watching their expresssion when they finally get the final product. How cool would it be to be able to show your child the day they were born? I wish I would have had this available when my girls were born. It is such a cool keepsake and heirloom to pass to your children. This birth was extra special because it was my cousin's and it was her last child. I was honored when they asked if I was interested. Of course! It was a great day and I loved every minute of it! It is so cool to see siblings meet their new sister. And it was nice to capture grandparents being able to attend this birth and holding them for the first time. This is why they are my favorite. I absolutely love my job!

Mr. G turns 1 and Mr. R turns 2! | Childrens Photographer Helena, Montana

These two brothers are so fun and so close together in age. They remind me of my two daughters who are just over a year apart. It might be tough for Mom and Dad while they are little but when they get older it is so great having them close in age. For this session we were celebrating them turning 1 and 2! I love when clients return every year. I think I enjoy watching them grow and change as much as their parents do! This session was fun and they sure had a fun time with the cake smash and big brother had to help show him the ropes.

Mr. R & Miss A!! | Childrens Photographer Helena, Montana

These two are so cute! I have been photographing both of them since they were born and I absolutely adore them. Miss A is getting quite the personality and as you can see is going to play basketball like the rest of her family, including Mom and Dad. And Mr. R is going to be a tall one I think. He is already almost as big as his sister who is over a year older then him. He is such a little chunk! He reminds me of my oldest daughter who was a chunky little thing as well. I always love photographing this family and cannot wait to do more this fall and winter.

Expecting #4! | Maternity Photographer Helena, Montana

I was so excited earlier this year when my cousin told me that they were expecting another child. They already have 3 adorable kids and another one would make their family complete. This little one is going to get lots of love from her two older sisters and brother!

Enos Family | Family Photographer Helena, Montana

I have known Aimee and Jeremy for a few years now. I had the honor of photographing the two of them prior to one of his deployments over seas. Then last fall they contacted me and said they were finally expecting a little one. I was thrilled for the both of them and was honored to capture their pregnancy, birth and their little man after he arrived. He is just precious and seems like he has been such a great baby. I love our sessions together because Aimee is full of ideas! And they are always super cute. They are big fans of the Avengers and little mans room is decked out in them. It was only fitting to have a family pictures with all of them wearing Avenger gear. We had several other outfit changes for little man and he was a trooper never complainging. I just love the moments we captured of them trying to get him to laugh. He was pretty serious most of the session but we got in a few smiles.

Perrault Wedding | Wedding Photographer Helena, Montana

And another one! This summer is full of weddings! I have several of my own bookings but I am having a blast being Dawn Smart Photograph's second shooter. She will return the favor this weekend with a beautiful wedding up at 4 R Ranch with Kaylee and Josh. This wedding was simple and gorgeous! For beinga middle of the week, small, lakeside wedding, the bride and groom did an amazing job with all of the details. I loved their colors, their cake, the ceremony, okay I loved everything about it! It was so relaxed, their friends and family were so friendly and the ceremony was beautiful! It was a first for me, they combined Christian and Jewish traditions, and it was one I will remember forever. Their vows were truly spoken from the heart and you could just feel the love these two had fore each other. I love all the moments we captured for them!
