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...
One of the greatest “perks” about doing what I do is watching families become, grow and expand. Last Fall, when I photographed Carrie & Ellis at their Paradise Valley hillside home, it was just the two of them, cute as can be, and their giant of a puppy, Chimba, a Rhodesian Ridgeback! This year, it’s...
One of the things that’s most beautiful about these Holiday Cards is that they LOOK like they cost a fortune, but don’t! Not only are these designer-quality cards fully customizable with your choice of photo(s) and text, but the customer service level of the card companies I am affiliated with, is second to none (only...
I fall in love with portrait photography over and over again, simply because I have the most wonderful clients! Dusti came to me through word of mouth…from a neighbor whose family I photographed several years ago. Having never had professional family portraits done, Dusti was a bit anxious about the session. She needn’t have been. ...
It was a glorious drive to Paradise Valley and a glorious ranch setting. Animal-lover, Cindy, who lives on this slice of Paradise was the winning bidder of the Pet and Family Photo Session which I donated to the Stafford Animal Shelter‘s annual Fur Ball last May. She gathered all her loved ones for the session…...
I am going to take a detour from my usual posting of recent photo sessions and the like to share with you a cause very close to my heart. We are animal lovers and have several rescue animals of our own, including dogs, horses and goats and most recently a mallard duck…but our rescues, though...
Today a crosswind blew…completely out of left field. Doug had just dropped off the twins at school and was headed home when he spied an emaciated hound puppy, perhaps 6 months old, wandering just outside the school grounds lawn… sniffing, sniffing. He called out to the dog who instantly came a runnin’ and leaped into...
It may as well have been the dog days of summer the day my session with Larry & Dickey took place in late October! It was so warm, even their dogs had to cool themselves off in the creek! Larry was the highest bidder on my pet & family photo session in a rousing live...
When you’re young and in love and living in Paradise Valley, Montana, life is pretty darn perfect. So it would figure that the day of my session with Carrie and Ellis would be perfect too! In fact, haven’t we been having the most awesome weather??? . The newest addition to Carrie & Ellis’ “family” is...
I don’t know for sure but I have a feeling Zoe gets to go everywhere her “mama” Maureen goes. Maureen and her husband, John, drove all the way from Butte to have me photograph their adorable 3-year old son, Ryan and do their family portraits which of course, included their first “child”, dog Zoe.. No...
