Cutie Pie Cassie

Last week Cassie and I ventured to Pony, MT for her senior photo shoot. I adore small Montana towns, and they are always the perfect setting for photos. Pony has always been one of my favorite little towns; it has true character. Cassie shares my admiration for Pony so it was the perfect fit for her shoot. It was a blast to drive with a destination in mind, but not knowing exactly where the trip would lead us. I really love the way these turned out, and it helps to have such a stunner in front of the camera! She was so at ease in front of the camera, and I am in love with that blue striped dress of hers. So perfect! Thanks Cassie for such a great evening, and for walking through water and marshes for me :) Hope your senior year is full of FUN, FUN , and more FUN.

Brand New Bobcat-Kalli Durham

Meet my gorgeous cousin Kalli. She has such a wonderfully big smile, an even bigger heart, and she is an outrageously talented athlete on top of being a great student. After high school, Kalli will be joining the Montana State Women's Basketball team, and she couldn't be more deserving. It has been something she has been working for for years, and I couldn't be more proud of her. Actually, the whole family is extremely proud and insanely excited. We are all HUGE Cat fans.

My sister Carley joined us on the shoot, and we traveled to Rosebud and Forsyth for these photo locations. (Carley was on hair and puppy duty) Kalli was a little nervous about the photos, and I have no idea why. She is a knockout and so photogenic. We are planning on one more shoot in the fall where Kalli can wear her volleyball and basketball uniforms, and we can take some family photos as well. Good luck on your upcoming school year, your volleyball season, and of course, your basketball season! I can't wait to come cheer you on. Lots of love to you.

I love this one of her laughing...it just makes me smile to see that kind of laughter :)

Of course she had to wear an MSU shirt- GO CATS GO!

Holy Smokin Senior Tara Nichole

Let me just start out by saying WOW!  Tara is such a gorgeous girl.  She was such a joy to photograph and not only because she is my cousin, but also because she is so easy going.  She was so low maintenance during the shoot, and I think the portraits really show what a naturally beautiful girl Tara is.  We had excellent weather, and an excellent assistant.  Thanks Gladys for being the perfect mom at a photo shoot.  She helped keep Tara's hair in check, she made Tara laugh, and she blocked the sun for us with some scrap wood when it was right in Tara's face.  What more could I ask for in a shoot!  Enjoy your last few weeks of Summer Tara, and ENJOY your Senior year.  Love you my darling cousin.  

The majority of our shoot took place at the Buttelman ranch which just makes the photos so much more personal!  The one below might be my favorite :)

 I really wanted to use a tire for a prop in the shoot, and magically we found one!  Awe the joys of the ranch...
