The early morning air was crisp. The clouds hung in the sky, but that didn’t intimidate us. Light rain started to fall. This was the location we were looking forward to most so we couldn’t stop now. As we circled the airplane taking pictures from all angles, Joseph reached up to his aviators. His hand […]

I can hear them down the hall in the nursery. They aren’t playing, just looking around. Then my heart melts. “When you were a baby, I helped with you. We are both going to be great helpers when the new baby comes.” I love overhearing the sweet moments between siblings! Yes, the rumors are true. […]

The early July sun beat down. The backyard aspen trees created a much needed cooling shade. The laughter and conversation filled my ears from the family behind me. No sooner did my camera click and I gave a “You look great!” did I hear my new friend bound over to me. “Can I see?” uttered […]

After reading Teaching Career: Life Change #3 many of you have been asking me, now what? And if you’ve been following along for any amount of time, I bet you can guess the answer. Yep, photography is my life change #2! In high school I got my first digital camera for my birthday (I’ll spare […]

Threatening thunderstorms hung in the air. The sound of frisbees buzzed past us. Cheers and laughter could be heard in the distance. Pioneer park was booming with early summer life. Dog walkers went around us as Olivia posed on the path with her light floral dress spinning around her. As I lowered my camera I […]

Dear Teaching Career, I’m just going to come out and say it. It’s time for a break. I know it’s not easy for either of us, but it’s the right decision. The last two years have been hard, and we’ve been growing apart. You must’ve felt it too. To be honest, I thought we were […]

The fog was finally lifting as we drove to the Yellowstone River. The grass was still wet from the low morning fog. It soaked our feet as we tromped through it. Geese waddled away in our search for the yellow wildflower field. We reached a no trespassing sign, and stoped there. Fleetwood mac played through […]

Smiles filled the faces of those in the room. A tear was wiped away from the loving eyes of Emma Kate’s grandfather. The whole church raised their right hands and gave a hearty “Amen.” Joy filled both Jackson and Hannah as they looked out among their friends and family who were promising to support them […]

I was able to photography this Billings senior session of Sally who started her year off and running! Literally, she’s spending her fall running on the cross country team at Billings West High School. Between all the practices we were able to schedule her senior session right in her own backyard. I couldn’t have asked […]

The sound of quiet children coloring filled the pauses. The coral and sage floral baby shower decor gave life to the room. Kerry spoke of her love for her niece, Hannah, in all of her momentous life events. From Hannah’s first breath to now, as she expects her 3rd baby girl. The room was fixated […]
