Miss Jen braved the hot weather and wind to snap a few belly pics before her little guy arrives.  This lady was a trooper!  We were both climbing over rocks, balancing on the docks, and constantly getting up and down...I think we were both exhausted by the end!  But we had fun and this beautiful lady gave me some great shots!  Thanks Jen!

I love photographing couples.  Perhaps it is a reminder of love, carefree days, and life before kids.  I always leave engagement sessions full of energy and rekindled love for my husband.  Yesterday, I had the privilege of photographing an old friend and her fiance on one beautiful day.  We had fun parading around on a gorgeous campus full of brick buildings, grassy knolls, and a lake complete with geese.  It was so beautiful! I am so excited for these two!  Congrats Jessica & Jonathan!

Love knows no bounds.  Yesterday, I had the privilege of working with an exceptional family at capturing their spirit and love for each other.  I walked away with hope, happiness, and was eager to get home to my own family.  I was reminded of the simple things, love and family.  

Thanks M&M for the awesome day!

Wednesday I loaded up my gear and headed down to City Park on what was possibly the hottest day ever!  Even at 6pm the sun was blazing and we were sweating but Jamie and her sweet family were awesome and smiled for the camera.  It was crowded but we managed to find a few good spots and I brought a handy stethoscope along to play with.  Even with all the heat, we had fun! Thanks Jamie!

MADEfair

Last weekend, we loaded up and headed to Missoula for MADEfair.  We were among 65 vendors selling fun and funky creations for every soul.  Our dryer balls were a huge success and we even came home with some awesome goods for our home---like reusable tea bags and glasses made from wine bottles.  I had fun photographing the event as it was an excuse to linger at a booth wishing that Christmas was just a little bit closer.  I can't wait to do it again next year!

We journeyed over the mountains to Missoula, MT this weekend for MADEfair.  We had a blast and I had a chance to sneak away and photograph two very sweet brothers and their family.  At 9:30 am the Montana sun was shining brightly and temperatures well into the 80's but we had fun playing around.  The boys especially had fun clowning around the playground.  What a sweet family!  I can't wait until our bean#2 arrives....its going to be trouble!!!

Today I had the chance to photograph sweet 6 week old baby Claire.  It was hot, bright, and I was going off 4 hours of sleep but baby Claire was an sweetie and gave us some good shots.  The family was really sweet and patient and enjoyed smiling for the camera.  What fun!
