Family and holidays mean tradition. Like decking the halls the day after Thanksgiving while dancing to Ray Conniff’s “Here We Come A-Caroling”. Like searching for the perfect tree, chopping it down, hauling it up to the house on the snowcat and dragging it in through the front door. Like baking Wespennester, Zimtsterne and Zitronenherzen. Oh,...
Ho Ho Ho!…Christmas is only 10 days away, which means that Santa will soon be on his way! With fondness, I looked back on some photographs today. Photos of Santa. I never thought I’d do it, but when Sheryl Sanders, owner of LillyLu asked me years ago to set up a photo session during the...
Dressed and ready to go to attend Lilly Lu’s long-awaited Grand Re-Opening and Ribbon Cutting Ceremony last Tuesday night, wouldn’t you know, the 4-wheel drive would go bust! Darn that Murphy! The bit of time it took to chain up the Tahoe so we could safely make it down the hill was enough to make...
When McAllister mom and veterinarian, Jennifer and her husband took off for an island vacation, Nina (aka grandma) flew in from Las Vegas to babysit her four beautiful grandchildren. Not only that…she brought a suitcase full of stylish new children’s outfits with her AND she arranged for a surprise photo session! Don’t you just LOVE...
Last night, my husband declared he has cooked his last Thanksgiving Day turkey in this house. (Yes, I know…how lucky am I?…my husband cooks!). It’s not that he is never going to cook a turkey again, it’s just that next year, we’ll be celebrating in the new house. Well, at least that’s the plan and...
This beautiful high school senior came all the way from Manhattan for her recent senior portrait session…Manhattan High, Montana, that is! We managed to schedule and reschedule a time or two and finally fit Anne’s Urban Session in between a mid-term exam paper she had due and back-to-back snowstorms. Anne was so easy to work...
This beautiful Bozeman family is anything but blue, being a brand new family just in time for the holidays! Tory and Luke can’t help but beam with pride and joy during their first official family photo session at Sky Ranch, high on a mountain-top in the Bozeman Pass. And fresh as it was up here...
What great names…Emma & Oliver. Makes me think of an upscale children’s clothing catalogue a la Marie-Chantal (think Harrod’s of London, Beverly Hills or New York) or Papo d’Anjo of Lisbon. Dressed in fashions by GapKids, Emma and Oliver of Bozeman look adorable in their “Baby, it’s Cold Outside” ~ Holiday Mini Session photos (and...
Many thanks to the “K” family of Bozeman who were the winning bidders of a family & child photo session with ‘yours truly’ during the live auction at last November’s Chocolate Moose in Bozeman, benefiting the Great Beginnings Montessori School. Anyone that knows me knows that causes benefiting children and animals are very close to...
We all know the scene. Awakened by the musical tinkling of a Christmas ornament rolling along the floor into her bedroom, Miss Cindy Lou Who effortlessly floats into the living room in her pink nightgown and asks The Grinch ever so innocently upon spying him trying to stuff the family’s Christmas Tree up the chimney,...
