This is my favorite little cowboy – maybe its because I had the honor of photographing his parents wedding so they have a special place in my heart or maybe its how unbelievably charismatic and adorable he is? Either way, that little guy is the cutest!

Dreaming of warm fall days again after our crazy storm last night!  So thankful we had such a beautiful fall and thankful I get to work with fabulous families like this one!

THANK YOU! My very favorite part of my job is making connections with people and showing them through my lens how amazing and loved they are. Late fall is push time for photographers,  I’m mostly done with the best part,  being behind the camera and interacting,  now its just…

This family was fantastic!  The kids were rockstars, mom and dad were great, I’m a little spoiled lately!  I feel bad-  I’m so behind, these guys now have their fabulous museum mounts hanging on their walls but  I didn’t want you to miss seeing them, I knew they would…

Here she is….the sweetest possible addition to the Ballard family.  Her big brother achieved rock star status when his buzz lightyear pic  (seen here) graced the cover of Simply Family Magazine but she really is one to take note of.  She is amazing!  A beautiful, smiling little baby…

I love all of these new babies!  I can’t get enough of them, when you look at these pics don’t you just want to give him a little squeeze?  Newborns are the sweetest most amazing beings ever.  This little man was no exception, we love him even more because…

to add another fabulous person to our team.  We are so glad that the gorgeous, kind, meticulous, friendly, magnetic, wonderful, hard working Amanda agreed to work with us as the studio assistant.  She is such an amazing addition.  You may recognize her from the blog, she was a client…

Yipee! The weather is warm,  it’s time to enjoy the great outdoors!  This family loves to fish so we decided to try our luck on the Yellowstone.  Thanks for a great morning!

Happy, happy mothers day!  To all of those amazing mothers who try their very best to be the best mommies ever, I am lucky enough to get an inside view of your feelings and emotions about your kiddos, I love watching your reaction when you see their pictures for…

I love this little family.  Amanda is an amazing mommy!  You may have met her at minis when she is working as a fabulous assistant.  Here is their first session (take a peek), how can you not fall in love right away after seeing those incredible eyes.  I…

I promised more pics of my favorite superhero (take a peek), and here he is with his loving family and coming soon, new baby brother or sister.  I do mini maternity sessions as part of a baby package, they are fabulous for short and sweet shots but when…

It’s that time of year –  After going through the wait list, I have a few spots left for spring minis and thought I would put it on the blog, they are up for grabs, first come, first serve- please call Shawna at 671.4371 to reserve a spot.  They…

blogging this family? I have been in bed for almost a week with a bad back.  I threw it out, I have no idea how, I wish I could say I rescued a granny from a grizzly or something heroic, but no – I must just be getting old….

I LOVED shooting at Times Square, the energy was palpable and then throw in an adorable little girl – it was magic!  I have photographed this cutie for the last few years when she comes to Montana to visit her family, we decided it was time to photograph her…

This family worked it on a blustery cold Montana day.  It was FREEZING and you wouldn’t even know, they were  total troopers, they warmed up in the car and would come out with big smiles on their faces ready to go.  They were so kind and fun, (a great…

This is one of the most active families I know.  We met five years ago when we were both expecting our third babies, both boys, we played often when we had littles at home to preserve our sanity and enjoyed conversation with another adult during the day.  Then the…

Happy Valentine’s Day!  I had to share this little cutie from New Jersey with you.  I get to photograph her every time she comes into town, I love watching her grow and her personality emerge.  She is so fun, she had a “perfect” session, she was laughing and full…

check out these adorable kids!  I love getting shots that capture different sides of their personalities.  They were so fun to work with!!!! I can’t wait to photograph them again! I love the, “beware of dog” sign when she is so innocently holding her  beloved puppy dog.

I’ve had so many requests to put up pics of the new studio – so here you go –  the before  – and one year later!  I am so pleased with how everything turned out!  It was a crazy process, but well worth it!  For everyone that worked on…

I am the area coordinator for Now I Lay Me Down to Sleep (check it out here),  an amazing volunteer organization that offers remembrance photography for those families suffering the loss of a baby.  “The foundation is there for parents and families to help aid them in their…

Check out this active fam!  When they aren’t skiing they are riding their skate/long boards or bikes.  So much fun!

First off – I think it’s about time for a special.   New year? Let’s start it of with a bang!  all of you moms to be -listen closely!  Any newborn session booked by January 31st for anytime in 2012 may choose either 50 custom announcements or 3 mini…

While I was photographing this fun session I couldn’t get the “Come Fly with Me” Sinatra song out of my head.  I knew from our pre-consult discussions about the concept and wardrobe that this would be a special shoot, but it was amazing to see it come together!  They did…

You might remember these little guys from their golf shoot (see it here), it was one of my all time favorites.  I have been photographing them since they were babes, I love watching their personalities emerge, they are hilarious!  This particular day was freezing and windy as all…

This was one of my favorite holiday shots this season.  Check out these gorgeous kids adoring their little brother.  They are such a fantastic family, I’m so happy for them, Sean Phillip is a wonderful new addition!

I loved photographing these kiddos and families during the last of my fall minis.  Some old friends, some new – they were all fabulous to work with and left with great pics for their custom Christmas cards!  Thanks guys for a fun afternoon!

This little gal might look familiar – her adorable face helped announce and “shout from the rooftops” my studio opening.   Here is her adorable family – they are sooooo nice.  You may know we have lived in many different parts of the country, and we have wonderful friends…

I couldn’t deny you a shot of the fantastic Fellmans from a short and sweet mini.

Congrats for pulling off these fun hats and making it look good! You guys are my heroes. I’m thrilled when we can get classic gorgeous pics and then throw in some personality.  Thanks for a fun shoot!

I LOVE this family, I have been photographing them for years and I adore watching them grow.  This shoot was on a freezing fall morning and they still worked it.  Grandma and Grandpa pics always pull at my heartstrings.  I got teary when watching the slideshow with Dana, kind…

Loved this adorable group- really how cute are these kids?  We had a great time, soaking up some of the last warm weather, and playing with horses.  Little man started the shoot completely nervous in the saddle and after a bit was an old pro. These two little ones…

I love this family!  I have photographed them for the last few years and every time I am horrified that I will pee my pants sometime during the shoot laughing.  They are hilarious, and they aren’t afraid to show their goofy side which I adore!  We decided to go…

What can I say about this fabulous family?  I met Jim at a wedding in Flathead over a year ago and I have had the pleasure of working with him ever since.  I’ve enjoyed photographing the Lil’ Sprouts campaigns and getting to know the incredible staff at Gainan’s.  We…

It was a gorgeous fall morning when we took these shots.  Everyone was happy and even the shy little miss warmed up after just a few minutes.  It was great!  I love the images of the mom and dad with the kids individually, how joyfully mom and daughter look…

You may recognize this first picture, it graced the full back page of  last months Simply Family Magazine. It is pretty sad when it makes it into Simply Family before I even blog it, I’m so far behind, but I don’t want to leave out any of my amazing…

Thanks so much to everyone that attended the fabulous grand opening on Friday!  It was so great to see everyone’s smiley faces and to see their response to our new space.  If you didn’t get a chance to come, please swing by, we’d love to see you!

$500 towards any…

I can’t believe the Grand Opening of my custom designed studio and gallery is tonight!  I hope you will come join us, have a bite, take a look around and come enjoy a gorgeous space with some friends.  This has been a LONG time coming, we started this process…

Each of the images below is a very small part of something larger. Any Guesses?

This family was adorable!  They obviously have so much fun together.  I would have loved to have a picture of my dad rocking out with me when I was little, I have no doubt this will be a much loved pic at their house for many years.

I was so excited when I talked to this mom about her son’s passion, I knew the shoot would be fabulous.  He is a jr. drag racer and competes all summer throughout Montana.  His grandpa met us with the race car and he was all geared up in his…

I love when parents are excited about getting images of their kids being completely them  – these sisters love to dress up, so it seemed like the perfect thing to do at our session.  They were so excited to get into their favorite “costumes” and play outside with me….

I did a thank you in the Billings Gazette and will have another one in the paper this weekend but wanted to be sure and thank you on the blog as well!  Thank you for the Billings Reader’s Choice Award,  “Best Children’s Photo Studio”.  I was so surprised and…

Here you have it – the rest of the minis from that rainy day.  You would never know that it was drizzling the whole time when you look at everyone’s happy faces, I really do have the best clients!!  LalalalaLOVE them!!

I had to give you a little taste of the minis from last week!  I have more amazing people to show on the next post, but couldn’t resist a quick preview.  Minis are fabulous, quick and dirty, and a fun way to meet new clients as well as see…

I love photographing this family when they are all in town together.  The cousins love goofing around and playing, it’s so great to watch them enjoy each other so much!  We had a fabulous location this year.  We went to their “garage” where they hold all of their amazing…
