Alyssa {Broadus, Montana Senior Photographer}

I am so excited to share this session.  Now is such a perfect time of the year for senior sessions.  The colors are beautiful and bright, and the evening light is what I dream about all winter long.  Plus, Alyssa is such a beautiful girl with an amazing smile.  We found so many fun places that made awesome backdrops on her ranch.  I love being able to shoot somewhere new, and we probably could have shot for another couple hours if we hadn't run out of light.  

Well Alyssa enjoy your sneak peek!  I am off to enjoy my Saturday afternoon with my boys.  All three of us are actually home this weekend which hasn't happened in a long time!















Ben and Shaye {Bozeman, MT Wedding Photographer}

Thinking about all that this wedding was just makes me smile.  It was so perfect.  All the details were amazing, the location featured incredible views, the friends and family had so much love in their hearts for the happy couple, and the happy couple themselves...so in love and they really took time to enjoy all the little moments.  

I have known Shaye for quite some time.  We worked together what seems like another life ago, and she never fails to make me laugh.  Not then, not now.  She is such a fun person, but she also cares deeply for her family, friends, and most importantly Ben.  She told me when I first arrived that she had to try very hard not to cry because she was not a pretty crier.  Well there were numerous times throughout the day when Shaye was overwhelmed with emotion, and I never thought about how she looked with tears filling her eyes.  I could only think about how obvious it was that Shaye is such a kind hearted person, and that there were tons of reasons to be emotional because she is so loved, and so in love with Ben.  She is so deserving of the happiness Ben brings her, and Ben is a wonderful man so worthy of Shaye's fierce love.   Ben and Shaye light each other up, and it was such a pleasure to be there to capture their love and their day.

The wedding took place at Black Bull in Bozeman, Montana.  Somehow these two were able to hold a wedding at a place that doesn't really do weddings.  Not sure how they did, but sure am glad they did!  



 A very romantic "first look"























The Zell family of almost 4 {Montana, Maternity Photographer}

This was such a fun and relaxed shoot.  I was worried about the dark clouds and wind, but the clouds cleared, and the wind ended up being just a breeze.  It was a perfect summer evening.  Alivia loved being out at the ranch, and she loves to explore so that's basically what we did.  It didn't take her long to warm up to me and the camera, and she is so cute and photogenic.  She obviously gets that from her gorgeous mother.  

I love maternity/family sessions.  It is always a good idea to celebrate a pregnancy by getting portraits taken of yourself and with your family.  It is amazing how quickly you forget the way you looked while pregnant.  The new curves.  The way shirts stretch around you.  The way your hands automatically rest on your belly.  The glow from carrying a life inside of you.  Pregnancy is so beautiful, and although one of the most trying things a woman will every do, it is something so worth remembering.  Thank you Lindsay for trusting me with to capture this special time in your life, and to capture your beautiful family sharing in that time with you.  



















What a perfect baby bump!
