Soon one of my favorite families will become a family of four, they wanted to be sure and get pics of their family as they are before a new little babe joins in the fun.  It seems like just yesterday we were taking Kate’s newborn pictures and now she is going to be the big sister!  I love working with families and watching them grow and change, it’s awesome to see how they evolve over just a couple years.  I love the way dad looks at Kate so adoringly this will be a lucky #2 to come into this fam full of love!

It was an amazing day in gorgoues green Sheridan!  I got to know Michael and Paige while doing their engagement pics (seen here) and had been anticipating their big day, I had no doubt it would be beautiful.  They were high school sweethearts and have been together 10+ years, it was wonderful to be with them on the day they had been dreaming about forever.  We ran all over Sheridan and Big Horn to photograph them in the breathtaking area they grew up in, Paige’s parents own spectacular horse property with views of the mountains that she wanted to be sure capture.  It was so fun to ride around with Paige and Michael while we were shooting their couple pics that day,  they filled me about the area and all of their memories. pointing out the homes they grew up in etc.  I was in love with her awesome shoes and the flower girl was adorable!  They had a great supportive wedding party that made the day even more fun! (props to a great group!)  It was wonderful to meet all of their friends and family and see how happy they were for the fabulous couple!  Congrats!!!

Baby Jack was so sweet not to mention fortunate to come to a family with two big sisters that are fun and full of personality to show him the ropes.  He is sure to be a little sportsman with a dad that loves baseball and golf.  Congrats on your new adorable addition!!!

Here they are – all of the family.  Michele and Bob came back into town for a wedding celebration and decided to take advantage of everyone being together by doing an extended family session.  It was so fun to meet everyone and see all of them together!

Isn’t he the cutest ever?  He’s changed so much since his newborn pics rockin’ the santa hat. (see here) I just wanted to give him squeezes the whole session!  So sweet!!!  And check out how great mom looks!! Geez!!

Wow –  this year has flown by!  I can’t believe that Kennley is one and walking around, it seems like just yesterday we were taking her newborn pics! (see here)  She is so adorable and full of personality!  Those blue eyes are crazy gorgeous and she has a big brother and parents that adore her.  She is one lucky girl!

Congrats to the amazing class of 2013!  It was so fun to get to know all of you, thanks for showing me who you really are, I can’t wait to see what your bright future holds!

Ok class of 2014 it’s finally your turn.  Show me what you’ve got!  Give us a call asap to get on the schedule, it’s filling up fast!  I can’t wait to meet you!!

Congrats Brosovich family on your new addition!  When Matt brought her by I melted and had to put everything down and steal her for a few minutes for cuddles and pics.  She is soooo sweet!!  I can’t even imagine how in love his kids must be, if I brought this puppy home it would turn into the most ridiculous amounts of squealing you have ever heard.  If you ever need a babysitter the Graham kids would be more than happy to oblige.

It was such an honor when Katie chose me to capture this time in their lives, especially after she told me their story and I knew how important these images were to her.  She gave me permission to share her story, “if I can give someone hope that is struggling with infertility I don’t want to miss the opportunity, it’s such a lonely place.”  She had always dreamed of being a mommy, they had tried IVF three times and were unsuccessful, they had finally found peace in the fact that she probably wouldn’t ever have the experience of being pregnant and had decided to look at different routes of becoming parents.  They were starting to investigate adoption when they found out she was pregnant.  It happened on its own, they were overjoyed.  She started having complications and was nervous that she would be put on bed rest so we decided to move her maternity shoot up a few weeks, she was devasted when she was hospitalized and had to possibly cancel the session, she had waited so long to be pregnant and is was really important to her to capture it since she didn’t think it would be likely happen again, this is their miracle baby.  She was released after a few days and would be allowed to stay home as long as she could regulate her dangerously high blood pressure.  She got the ok to reschedule her session, we just had to tweak our plans a bit and do it at the studio to make it as easy as possible.  She was so excited during the shoot but was overwhelmed when we got together to view the pictures for the first time.  She looked gorgeous and was tearing up as she told me she never thought this would happen and how amazing it was to see herself pregnant as she had always dreamed.   That is one lucky baby to come to parents that are so invested and committed to being the best parents that they can.  We are sending good vibes that this little guy stays inside as long as possible and that the rest of the pregnancy goes smoothly.  Good luck Katie and Kyle!  We love you!!

Have I mentioned lately how much I love my job?  Look at the cute kiddos I get to work with!!!
