Aren’t they the cutest family ever!  I met them as clients a few years ago and they’ve become friends.   I’ve loved watching their family grow – I can’t believe how big the kids are getting, they are so fun!!!  It’s always good times when I get to spend some time with this fabulous bunch. xoxo

Who looks like this when they turn 14?!? What happened to being awkward?  When Chris first came to visit my family home where I grew up in LA when we were dating he saw a pic of me on the wall when I was 14 and didn’t believe it was me I was so gawky, braces (oh wait – I’ve got those going again now 🙂 ), limbs all over the place, so skinny, crazy awkward, I think he uttered under his breath I can’t date you anymore, I kind of resembled a praying mantis.  It was a seriously scary time, I never dreamed of looking like this girly at that age.  She is beautiful.  I was so flattered that her birthday request was a JGP photo shoot!  Happy Birthday to a wonderful girl!!! You are amazing!

Check her out!  She was the first official senior of the season, I have to get caught up on my blogging so that I can show you all of the stellar company she has had. This is going to be a great summer!!!  I met Tiana at her Aunt’s wedding years ago when she was a new teen and have seen her periodically through the years, I can’t believe she is a senior now!  Time flies!!  She is gorgeous, humble, so sweet and worked the camera, we had a blast running around.  You are an amazing girl Tiana!! xoxo

I love this couple!  I have worked with and gotten to know them over the past few years in different ways, obviously they are gorgeous and stunning people, but they are fabulous on the inside as well.  They always make me smile.  This baby is coming to a home full of love with parents that are passionate about so many different and interesting things.  I can’t wait to see and watch this little guy grow up, he is a lucky babe!  I am beyond excited to meet him and photograph all of his little details when he arrives.

What happens when you put two gorgeous people together? They make incredibly beautiful little humans.  This baby girl is so lucky to have such kind, fun parents and a brother that has a fabulous imagination and loves life.  It was so fun to meet this active family, they are in Billings for the moment, they just moved back from Hawaii to be with family when they brought this amazing addition into the world.  They live between, LA, B.C., Hawaii, and MT. somewhat depending on Dad’s work, he does film stunt work, it will be so fun to see where their next adventure takes them.  Congrats again!!!

I fell in love instantly when I saw this little guy’s hair – it was perfect!  He had so much of it, and it stood up in just the right places, if only I get could my 7 year olds hair to look like his I would be thrilled!  He was so adorable!  Mom is gorgeous and so nice – who looks like this right after a baby?!? I was fortunate to meet a lot of his loving fam, including grandma, grandpa and a doting uncle, what a great family, lucky boy!  He is precious!!

We love the craziness of the spring around our house,  it is pure chaos with the kids in multiple activities each all at different places during the same time in different parts of town at the same time, but we know that it only lasts for 6-8 weeks and then it is done and back to normal crazy which is a little easier to handle.  How does it all get done? Lots of carpooling, constant running and quick car changes but how can we say no to these cuties when they ask to add spring baseball and soccer in?  They have a great time and everyone once in awhile we get those glorious nights where the weather is perfect and we aren’t bundled up in gloves and mittens or under an umbrella, they look over at you and smile and it makes it all worth it.  Another season under our belts… Now bring on the summer!

I photographed Anna when she was a tween and thought she was the sweetest, I have seen around town through the years and was so excited to finally have her as a senior model, she is one of the nicest girls ever.  A gentle soul, she has grown into a gorgeous young lady.  It was so fun to shoot her during the mini model session she turned it on and worked the camera, I can’t wait for her full senior sess, no doubt it will be a blast!  Be sure to talk to her so she can hook you up with a JGP deal!!!

I loved everyone I photographed at the spring minis – some old friends, some new, it was a fantastic day.  It makes my heart melt when kiddos run up to me with open arms and big smiles when they see me.  We were so lucky to beat the crazy rain and enjoy fantastic temps and beautiful light in an amazing setting. I wish I could share all the pics with you, there were so many great ones, it was impossible to choose!  Pretty perfect start to the summer- in LOVE!!!

SO proud of our 2014 Valedictorians!  Congrats Zach, Bobbi, Rachael, and Kiara – your hard work paid off – nice job!
