The W. family | Eastern Montana

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!

What does 

37 bug bites

one old, abandoned "haunted" house

-->5 cousins 

teetering between 

hysterical laughter {and} pure terror

-->4 ticks crawling on us

-->1 lost camera bag

-->1 mysterious animal hissing from a closet

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.

for such a great session!

The K. family | Eastern Montana

I loved the personalities and energy captured with this familia! 

Big sis had a firecracker personality and

those have always been my favorite to photograph!

She is an absolute doll.

'lil bro was a bit more hesitant about the whole photo session-

but I knew his gorgeous brown eyes and adorable face would make this shoot a breeze (huge smiles or not!)

 beautiful momma and her girl...

 I had trouble choosing which photos to post for the sneak peek,

we had so much fun during this session!

We captured a lot of laughter and I love how much fun this family has together.

Their son is 13 and it was awesome to see how well he did, enjoying the session and cooperating so well (remember how fun family photos were when you were 13?)...

and the 'lil miss?

 She had me laughing from the word GO!

Smiling, turning her head just so

and overall making the entire photo shoot a breeze :)

 isn't she gorgeous?!

These are my favorite shots, the ones caught behind my lens 

when no one one thinks the shutter is snapping. 

We caught a handful of these precious moments and I always consider that a success!

{Here's a quick peek of a senior session from when we were in Montana}

I'll have 15 (or more) sneak peek sessions to follow...

kind of a "working" vacation for me :)

Montana is one of those locations

with beauty & backdrops just begging to be photographed.

happy to oblige.

And looking forward to sharing much more from this great place...
