Ryan

What a year. . . in January last year my husband, father-in-law, and I remodeled our basement into an office/studio and I've been so blessed this year with wonderful infants and children to photograph. This was my last session of 2009 and what a wonderful way to end the year. Little Ryan is beautiful and 3 weeks old. I thought he might be awake a lot of this session, but this little guy slept the entire time. He gave me the best Christmas present of all - thank you!



The beautiful parents. Mom is gorgeous and that is the only picture you will see Ryan's eyes, he opened them for about 10 minutes and then fell asleep again.



The wonderful older brother. Cameron was one of my first 1 year old in the studio last April. We got some wonderful picture of him smiling and on the move. This time he was pretty shy, but I got a couple of him smiling. His parents said they had no expectations with the "stage" he was in, but I think we got a couple really cute ones of Cameron.





Look at those lips! They would really puff out when we pulled the pacifier out, but they are so cute.



Alright, my new favorite picture - bottom left. I have seen these pictures all the time, but really didn't think they were possible. Ryan let his mom and I prop him up like this and he slept right through it. Really this was the best Christmas present ever - isn't it cute??



What a wonderful 2009. I have met some wonderful clients, children, infants, and have had the best time capturing all your moments through 2009. Thank you for calling and letting me into each of your lives even if it is only for one hour. I LOVE this job! Thank you Ryan for sleeping through the whole 2 hour session and being an adorable baby.

Zoey

What a precious 1 year old. She wasn't walking yet, but loved to stand up. She had the cutest smile and didn't really like the studio lights. She would squint up her face so we couldn't even see her eyes, but she was smiling. It was so cute. These are just a couple of my favorites, she has quiet a few cute ones. Amy I forgot to get the spelling of her name, so I hope this is right. I will probably be calling you or you can email me.

I love the bottom right, such a cute little poser.



Look at this Christmas dress. I don't know what it is like buying such cute clothes since I just have a boy, but this dress is adorable. She was loving the skirt.


We went outside for a few quick photos before the sun set. It was getting pretty dark. Zoey loved the snow.



I have to say, my favorite studio shot is the bottom right picture. Even though she isn't smiling there is such an innocents to this picture.



Happy Birthday to Zoey! She also had a cake that she didn't really eat, just finger painted all over the floor. It was cute to watch, but messy to clean up. It was wonderful meeting your whole family. Have a Merry Christmas.

Cambree & Landon

This poor family came down with the H1N1 flu so we just had to keep waiting for everyone to feel good again. I'm so glad that we could find a time that worked for these two children. They were so good and fun to photograph. I love return clients, but Cambree didn't remember me from the first time. It took awhile for her to start smiling, but once she warmed up we had a great time.





I think my favorite from this session is Cambree with her brother.



I hope you all have a wonderful Christmas. Stay warm! Thanks for the call and I am so glad that we finally found a time that worked.

Two Families . . . Short on Time

Finally I'm back and posting on some of my photos from November! I have been so busy with family in town and getting ready for Christmas that blogging was not at the top of my list. I am finally caught up for Christmas, well kind of, but I thought I would blog on a couple sessions today.

This was the last Saturday I had open for Christmas pictures and it was a busy Saturday for these two families. One family was on call with the hospital all day so we had to be on our toes in case they had to leave and the other family was heading to Bozeman for the CAT/GRIZ football game in 30 minutes. We got a lot accomplished on this windy, cold Saturday morning. These families were a lot of fun under the time crunch and we got all the pictures they wanted.

Look at these cousins. They were very good and did well with the time crunch.

It was so great to meet both of your families. I hope you have a Merry Christmas and hopefully next time we'll have a little more time.

Posts Coming Soon. . .

I am so busy right now trying to get all the pictures done for Christmas. I promise once I get this last set of photos done I will write a couple posts on some wonderful photo sessions recently.

This is one session I need to post on. This little guy loves his feet. Since a post is always better with a photo, I'll leave you with him. So cute!
