I was so in love with my seniors this year!  They were such an awesome group!  I loved getting to know them and learn about their passions, and dreams and what they were excited for in the future.  I love seeing them around throughout the year and catching up on how their life as a senior was going.  This class of 2015 has my heart – I’m thrilled for them.  Congrats you guys!! xoxo

We are so excited to be featured once again on the Rocky Mountain Bride blog!  What an honor!  This was such a picturesque, gorgeous wedding.  I have been dying to share these images with you!  Allison was absolutely stunning in her dress she looked like she had stepped right out of a fairy tale.  I adored the bridesmaids dresses that were all tied and worn in unique ways  and don’t even get me started on the flowergirls!  I have photographed Hadlee since she was a newborn and seeing her spin and love being in her little pink dress was the most adorable ever!  Such cute kiddos at the wedding!!  It was held at Wildflower Gardens in Red Lodge, with horses and beautiful mountains in the background it was the perfect location to exchange vows and celebrate with friends and family.  Allison and Daniel stood under a custom made archway adorned with gorgeous flowers and said their “I do’s”  the fabulous barn was decorated to the hilt with an amazing candy bar and stunning centerpieces.  I loved the floating fresh flower island that Jim from Gainan’s placed in the middle of the little pond it was the perfect accent.  After the ceremony the guests enjoyed amazing hors d’oeuvres under a white tent including fresh shellfish and champagne.  Tom Nelson served a delectable dinner and then heart felt toasts and cake cutting followed.  This cute couple fell in love with a Beach Boys cover band when they heard them in Coronado and asked them to come play at their wedding.  They were thrilled to fly to Montana for this fabulous occasion.  They were so much fun!! They had everyone dancing and even playing the drums.  It was a beautiful day!!! Congrats Allison and Daniel!! xoxo

I was totally impressed with this fab dad/hubby when he called and told me his plan – to surprise his wife with a photo shoot of him and their darling kiddos for her birthday.  She had to go out of town last minute for a couple of days so we had the perfect time to get it done without her knowing.  The kids were so excited, we took shots of them all dressed up and dapper and then some fun ones of them showing their individual passions/interests; swimming, karate and trucks.  We thought it would be fun to make her a little film to go along with it, after we got great stills. (check that out on FB)  We had a blast.  The kids and even dad did great!  Mom was over the moon.  Dad hit out of the park on this one!!

I can’t believe graduation is right around the corner!  It seems like yesterday we were taking these senior pics and now these fabulous seniors are about to walk across the stage.  We are so excited for everyone but wanted to give a special shout out to Valedictorians for the class of 2015!  Congrats Taylor, Hannah, Katie, Misty, and Bridget!

I loved photographing this adorable couple!  I have known Kelsie for years and watched her grow into a gorgeous woman, it is wonderful to see her so happy and blissfully in love.  Jacob is the sweetest guy ever!  He is so kind and caring and up for anything.  They are both attentive to the other and just want to make each other happy, it was so great to watch them together.  They completely adore one another.  They love to laugh, hike, cook and have spontaneous dance parties together, they are so much fun and definitely have a lifetime of adventure and good times ahead.  I can’t wait for their beautiful wedding this summer!!!!

We had such an amazing time with this group of fabulous girls!  I don’t know how I get to work with the best girls around, I feel so lucky!!!  I can’t wait to get to know each of them better as I work with them on their individual senior shoots this summer, no doubt we will have a blast!  The day before the shoot they began their journey by going to Apricot Lane and getting individually styled for the boho field group shots.  Apricot Lane was fabulous and had specific looks in mind for each girl, they were fully accessorized and sure to look fab.   They started the afternoon at the downtown studio, each gorgeous girl had their makeup done by one of our favorite makeup artists –  Anja from Blinc Beauty Bar and Cristina from The Brooklyn Spa.  They took turns shooting with me in their own outfits and getting a little bit of one on one time for great individual shots, (ask them to see their custom mobile apps).  Everyone got along so well!  They enjoyed some yummy grub catered by Ciao Mambo and rocked out to great music throughout the afternoon.  I loved seeing them all together when I would go up to grab another girl for her pics they were so complimentary and encouraging for each other.  It was a love fest.  When everyone was done at the studio we went to a fabulous spring green field in their styled boho attire and enjoyed the golden evening.  We took a few more individual shots just because I couldn’t help myself and then focused on the group shots with the amazing creative dream catchers made by Cassie at Better to Gather  I mentioned her in an earlier post but need to give her another shout out.  She is so insanely talented, I love collaborating with her.  If you have an idea you would like to bring to life during your session talk to her – she loves our JGP clients, and is uber excited to work with us and be creative.  I can’t say enough how amazing these girls are!  (and thanks to the fabulous mamas too 😉 )  I’m so excited for the Class of 2016!!

We are so excited to offer spring minis this year!  What better Mother’s Day gift to yourself or to surprise your mom.  They are a fabulous way to get quick lovey dove shots of the kiddos and family in gorgeous green.  Please call ASAP to reserve your spot. 671.4371 We are currently booking for May 27th.

I love working with Simply Family Magazine! I am so fortunate to be able to shoot all of their covers.  Usually the cover goes with the theme of the magazine and they let me know what and who they would like shot but when a Mother’s Day cover was proposed and I showed them this image from a recent newborn session we decided it was perfect.  I love how peaceful this gorgeous mom and baby look curled up together.  Enjoy this months issue!

Cece is such a gorgeous girl! Those baby blues took my breath away, with her fab long blonde hair she took me right back to my Cali roots on the beach.  I loved her sparkly personality.  She is so upbeat and fun!  She is an amazing dual sport athlete rocking it in soccer and basketball for Central High.  She came highly recommended as well, everyone adores her.  I can’t wait to get to know her better and am so thrilled to have her as a JGP senior model this year!!!

I love photographing this gorgeous girlie!  I worked with her before when she needed some commercial head shots done and we had a blast, I was so looking forward to her upcoming senior pics.  I am thrilled she is one of our JGP senior models this year.  She is the biggest sweetheart and uber talented!  You can’t take your eyes off of this girl when she dances, she is mesmerizing!  A true artist.   I love her sense of style and uniqueness, she is a fabulous individual.  No doubt we will have the best time ever during her “real” senior shoot this summer! xoxo
