I know…I’ve been an absentee blogger and I have a really good excuse. Winter in Montana! This winter has been a doozy so far (some say the worst in 20 years!), what with temperatures fluctuating from -20 to 55 degrees, regular and heavy snowstorms and Livingston’s infamous WIND. And it’s the wind that’ll do you...
The cobbler’s children have no shoes. Yes, it’s true…last year in the midst of client holiday sessions and order fulfillment, the time to take our twins Christmas photo simply slipped away…even though I did order their Sgt. Pepper jackets designed by Stella McCartney for GAP Kids for the anticipated photo shoot. I am truly a...
It was Christmas Eve and our house was abuzz with music as we stuffed & stamped our Christmas Cards and put the final touches on our decorations. We’d planned to head into town that afternoon to mail our cards, attend church service and then a party. As I printed address labels in my office, Doug...
We began our annual mother-daughter tradition of taking Christmas Tea at the historic Gallatin Gateway Inn last year and have been looking forward to our special “date” all month long. The boys left early to go skiing, so it was just us girls as we got ready. I curled her hair. She dabbled in my...
I have boy/girl twins. How lucky is that? One of each. And every night, since they were babies, I tuck them cozily into bed calling each one my favorite, because *as individuals*, they are…my favorite boy in the world and my favorite girl in the world. Miss Larissa has been my kindred spirit since the...
Good Heavens…it’s the back to school issue of Montana Parent Magazine!!! Where HAS the summer gone? The twins start back to school in 27 days! At least we’ll have this cover shot to always remember the summer of 2010 by. Here’s my own Miss Larissa running through a sea of sunflowers here at Sky Ranch. ...
Every summer, when the grass is lush and green and the wildflowers are in full bloom, my daughter, Larissa, requests her own personal photo shoot. As sort of a special send-off, we always do the session just before she and her twin brother, Sam, fly to California for their “Surfin’ Safari” where they get...
Holy Smokes!…all of a sudden, my babies are 10 years old! When did THAT happen? They are just growing up so darned fast and I fully realize that I missed some real quality time in summer’s past…shooting weddings every weekend and back-to-back portrait sessions during the week. When my 5 yo twins said “Mama, we...
The earth was wet and soggy and our boots became ever heavier with the weight of the mud the day we first set foot on our new logging trail after a spring rain. Deep into the forest, midway along the trail, nature’s magic revealed itself. Amid towering moss-laden pines, the fragrant forest floor was lush...
