Since day one raigan's eyes have been the craziest color. They're not brown or green and even grey but rather seem to be a mix of all of those colors..this is the best picture I have to try and show everyone what I've been talking about...
alana & nathan | red lodge mt
these two...so sweet...so in love...so...well...just take a look... : )
it can't be easy to say good bye to your little girl...
this one needed to stand on it's own - one of my all time favorites for sure...
and these are just for fun - I told Nate that he would get used to the way that ring felt in just a few days and the photo with the beer...well it kind of sums up the whole day - got married in red lodge and drank some local beer to celebrate. Thanks for letting me tag along guys, I had a blast! : )
how about...
a little something different? Taking a break from the happy families, adorable kids and beautiful babies...how about a little eye candy or as I like to refer to it - man candy? (I can say that he's my husband) : )
oh that tush! it's just so...well - words can't really describe...
and my personal favorite...it's just so him... : )
Oh how I love the "toddler shoots" - they're never boring and they just scream fun. This little guy was a blast and was so good - that is of course until we were done and it was time to leave the park. I don't blame him we were having a really good time...
now I know you see (and will continue to see) the "classic toddler swing" picture a-LOT. But I don't care, I love them. I mean let's face it - kids grow up. They won't always be little enough to swing and eventually they won't even hold your hand. So I say you do as much as you can and soak up every second. (Oh and it's also a great way to keep them in one spot for more than two seconds.) : )
Thanks again guys - I had a blast with your little family. See you in the fall for Xmas card pix! : )
collages come to life
after I was done with "skater boy's" pictures his mom made a comment that she loved them "ALL" and there was no way she could one or even a few. So I threw this together for her real quick just for fun...
she loved it so much she decided to give the thin wrap a try...I think you'll all agree it came out incredible. I like it so much I think I might have to order one for my "office" - it's such a great way to get a whole bunch of photos in one spot...
thought I would post my latest shoot with this fun family just a little different than usual, just for kicks... : )
thanks for a fun afternoon guys!
finally! the sun came out and it's warming up - we can take baby pictures outside! woo hoo! It couldn't have come at a better time for this little guy either - his adorable outfit (his parents might be Cub fans) goes so perfectly with the lush green grass you would swear it was a prop... : )
his mom has a thing about her baby's chubby hands and feet (don't even bring up the fact that her big kid no longer has them - she gets all sad and nostalgic) so I made sure and get some good close ups. There something magical about baby feet in the grass, I probably went a little overboard but eh, it's ok I don't think mom will mind...
i loved everything about this family - what they were wearing, their bare feet, their dog, their willingness to do anything I asked...and the boys - oh how I loved these precious little boys... : )
look at the eyes on this one and the lashes on the other...absolutely breath taking...
For those of you who are regular followers on the blog I know you'll recognize this little guy, the mohawk is pretty unmistakable. He makes an appearance on this blog so often because he is the oldest son of one of my very best friends and he's not only super cute but he actually likes to have his picture taken which means I end up with a bunch of shots I just have to share.
His mom is super picture happy and never misses a milestone shoot. And even though we're friends I love that she shows me the respect of actually arranging and booking a time like a "regular" client. This was for his five year shoot which was a little late but so worth the wait. The exposed brick/skateboard/cool dude look was a joint idea of both his mom's and mine and I could not be happier with the way it turned out.
Ethan is such a sweet kid and a great big brother and while he does have his moments like all kids, most of the time he is coolest kid I know and now I have the visual evidence to prove it...
i love love love the filthy hands - so boy, so ethan...
this one was his mom's idea - the lighting is pretty bad but it's still hilarious to me...the main reason being that since he's five we had to read him the sign! : )
