The G. family | Eastern Montana

These adorable kiddos brought the FUN to this session!

Bringing smiles, toys, ideas,

and {what I like to call}  

their A Game.

Somebody loves their mom & daddy

and I think the feeling is mutual :)

Love sessions...

'11 Senior Portraiture | Eastern Montana

Some look at this guy and see a star football player.

I see a little blonde haired, blue eyed toddler that 

 I used to chase after as a high schooler.

Yep that was my "job" as a teen (but truth be known, I'd have babysit for free).

Some see the high school president.

I see a 'lil boy who {along with his big bro}

kept me laughing, pulling out my hair, and running in circles.

Sometimes all in the same moment :)

And so before I get too sentimental and mushy about this "little boy" {who now towers over his babysitter}, I'll just say that he and his family are still among some of my favorite people-after all these years (no let's not count how many it's been).

I was beyond thrilled to be asked to do C's senior photography.

We found locations hidden in and around Baker, MT.

{I bet you'll never find them} !

Besides being a super cool kid, C is also a pretty amazing photographer whose editing skills and knowledge inspire me to start plugging away at my photography classes.

Did I mention he's smitten with a lovely lady?

Who undeniably feels the same.

Yes, I did remind him that I was still the babysitter, behind the camera.

No more goo goo eyes, you two.

j/k

Thanks for the awesome day of laughter, running around, and fun.

Some things never change and I'm thankful for it.

look closely.

is this not the epitome of siblings' relationships?

LOVE to have captured it in one shot- that'd be a canvas in my house :)

And for the record, these adorable kiddos asked to run and skip together.

No posing needed !

I love that they both wanted in on a photo with their beautiful momma.

fun kiddos+ fun parents= fun session!

annnnd one flat tire {on a long stretch of two-lane black top}

all have in common?

THIS 
photo shoot!

It won't evah be forgotten, that is for certain :)
We had a memorable, fun afternoon with these five adorable girls!

And in case you're wondering if the session was worth it
-after the extravaganza of misfortunes surrounding our afternoon-
....YeSsS!

I see some wrapped canvases and wall art in the near future!

There is a garden in every childhood, an enchanted place where colors are brighter, the air softer, and the morning more fragrant than ever again.

  meet 'lil Miss P.

I could've eaten her with a spoon.

She is DeLiSh!

{gorgeous. fun. loved}

With a personality to match.

I love to capture -the relationship -

laughter, sideway glances, the play.

I believe this is what we'll hope to have documented.
