Happy New Year!!! Wow! What an amazing hear I had! Oh sure, it started off with a doozy of a winter and an unplanned 2 month hiatus as I became a full-time nurse to Doug after his accident, but professionally, 2011 was my greatest year ever! So I never got around to building my mobile...
“Twas the eve before Tea, when all through the town, We two ladies went shopping for a new Christmas gown. She settled on pants and a black lacy top, Ballet flats with rhinestones to top it all off. I tucked her in bed and I kissed her goodnight. In the morning we primped, it was...
It was an unusually warm winter afternoon when Jennifer and her adorable 5 yo son, Alec arrived for their Holiday Mini Session at Sky Ranch. Jennifer and her son are so so sweet together. And the way little Alec snuggled with his rescue Boston Terrier, Max was equally as charming and sweet. But when Alec...
This dee-lightful fellow ski family could not stop giggling during their session! What fun it was to share a few laughs and get to know them better! Kids, Riley (9) and Quinn (13) are on the Bridger Alpine Ski Team along with our own 11 yo twins. Mom and Dad, Laura and Tracy, the owners...
“Snowflakes are kisses from heaven.”…I am going to try to remember this quote each time it snows this winter and revel in all the kisses!

I’ve been documenting Luke’s first year, from his newborn session to Luke at 7 months. And finally his studio birthday session (photos coming soon)...
One thing I really wish we did we we built our home was create a playroom for our twins…a designated area where they could play, do art, make a mess and at the end of the day, all I would have to do is shut the door! I still find myself tiptoe-ing through their rooms,...
Lori is the first person I called when I sat alone in the ICU waiting room at Bozeman Deaconess after the trauma unit personnel escorted me away while they attended to my husband Doug that fateful March day. The next thing I knew, she was there. Sitting next to me. Holding my hand. Helping me...
Every child is a flower. Blooming in their own special way. Mason (14), Maryn (2) and McCall (4 months) were the flowers blooming in the field and on the mountain-top during this recent family session at Sky Ranch taking center stage among fields of grass and sagebrush. The kindness and sweet love between them all,...
More and more, as our own children grow, I realize how much I love being a child photographer. As our twins’ 12th birthday approaches…their last as “tweens”, I wish I could hit the rewind button and go back to when they were two, or five or seven! We are experiencing the last of the...
