Baby Blues and Tutus {Miles City, MT Family Photographer}

The first attempt at little Presley's shoot did not go as planned.  She was not in the photo taking mood at all.  That's probably because the poor thing was getting sick.  The rest of her family ended up getting sick as well so by the time we rescheduled, Presley wasn't itty bitty anymore. 

 I could not believe that she was holding herself up so well at 3 months old.  She was seriously just hanging out holding herself up on the saddle.  The idea was to have her sleeping and laying on the saddle, but Presley had different plans.  For one, she wasn't going to fit laying down, and she had no intention of falling asleep.  She was pretty much wide eyed for the entire shoot, and was such good baby.  She had just started to giggle and her mama had her giggling a lot.

Enjoy your sneak peek.  Little Presley is such a doll and my hubby would like to thank you for the serious case of baby fever she has given me :)    

 I quickly snapped a few family shots outside this past weekend.  It was really chilly, but I really wanted Presley and her family to have a group photo with her at this age.  

First Snow of the Season {Miles City, MT Family Photographer}

It's that time of year when the weather is unpredictable, and you just have to go with it.  That is exactly what we did for this shoot.  We made a plan to shoot a few shots of little miss Harper at my home studio, then move outdoors for the family shots, as well as some shots of just Addie and Paul.  It was cold, but Harper was such a little rock star.  She didn't seem to mind being shuffled from the warm car to outside then back into the car again until the next family shot.  She is such a cute and happy baby, and was a blast to shoot.  Her parents are such a good looking couple, and are so photogenic, which made the whole shoot easy as pie despite the weather.  

Enjoy your sneak peek!  It was great to meet you, and you have such a beautiful family!  Harper has the prettiest blue eyes.   I love this below photo-so sweet. 

Fall is for Families {Montana, Family Photographer}

Fall is definitely the time for family photos.  The only problem with that is the weather in Montana can be a bit unpredictable.  These were shot on a chilly morning, and it there was a slight drizzle, but the clouds made for soft even lighting, which I haven't seen much of lately. 

This really wasn't the typical family shoot.  Instead it was just the grandkids with the exception of the photos of Terry and his son Body.  

One of my mother's favorite photo's is of my sister and I with our cousins.  It was taken in a studio, and we are all matching.  (way too matching-like red outfits with ducks on them I believe)  According to my mother, and the photo, things did not go as planned.  My sister who was not a crier, cried which made my cousin Mikaela join her in the crying.  Shann was hyper because well Shann was always hyper. :)  Casey and I were old enough to keep it together, and Shelby, the baby was young enough to not know what was going on.  Anyways, the photo turned out fairly well considering, but both Mikaeal and Carley have red faces and teary eyes; not what my mom had envisioned.  However, that photo serves as a constant reminder of that day, and it is a memory my mom holds dear even though it wasn't perfect.  The fact that the photo came out of a little chaos probably makes it more memorable.    

That's just the way it goes with kids and photos.  None of these kiddos did any crying, but they still did things to make the day memorable for their parents and grandma.  These photos will serve as a reminder of the day they were taken and their little personalties at this age. That's why I love what I do, and feel so blessed to have such awesome clients.  Plus chasing these little rockstars around was a lot of fun.    

 This truck one is my favorite...and of course was the easiest to take since it appealed to the boys.  I also love the walking one above.
