The typical response when I have my camera around this sweet nephew of mine is that he doesn’t like having his picture taken. So this was an unusual evening! He was very excited to show me how he can ride his 2-wheeler pedal bike. Even stopping at the top of the hill to look and smile before racing down. So I took full advantage that it would be a great evening to take him for a little “fishing” adventure and quickly put together a fishing pole. He is one of the most thoughtful and fun little guys. A memorable part was watching a muskrat swim right over to us then startled by our movement dove below the surface. Such a great spring evening on the prairies!!

As the sun was quickly dropping in the sky and over the horizon, we had a little time at this ever so pretty location. I’ve had an idea in my head so coming over the hill earlier in the day and seeing this view, I knew it was the perfect spot! As the snow melted away and ditches + ponds fill with water I have been taken by the reflections. Catching my eye every time. On this evening it took my breath away! With amazing scenery around us, a super sweet gal and beautiful reflections. The short while we had was fun + inspiring. Adding to a very enjoyable weekend. A beautiful place, a welcoming home and most of all a fabulous family in northeastern Montana that I love to visit!

Here’s a little peek behind the scenes at our photo shoot in the Mojave desert. Five girls piled into a car and all these colorful props + works of art in the trunk. Making for an incredible setup and energizing, fun time together. Once we wrapped up shooting it took an artist to know how to place things just right to fit everything back in!! Thanks again to Bre and Melissa for all their work beforehand making plans and pulling everything together in short order!

This was when I felt especially bad that my husband was back home in the snow! Next time we need him to rip around on his dirtbike because it made for such a great backdrop. At first I don’t think the guys were pleased to move their truck out of our background. But then to show off like this, I think we made their afternoon ride much more interesting and they kept thinking of way to kick up more dust!

This is a great way to kickstart a new week! A session full of creative energy, color and enthusiasm.

Bre has now shown her fabulous 2013 spring collection at High Point Market and I am excited to share more photos from this amazing shoot. Shooting alongside 3 photographer friends, Laurie, Melissa and Brandi, and soaking up the desert sunshine as we photographed this lovely gal with her vivid, cheerful artwork. The colors such a contrast to the desert surroundings. With her background in interior design, Bre did a fantastic job putting things together to compliment her paintings so well. With her talent it’s no wonder she is licensed with the largest wall decor manufacturer in the USA and is creating custom pieces for clients. You can check out her website here. I’m so glad I got to share in this wonderful shoot with a creative group of ladies!!

She’s got personality as vibrant as her artwork. A fun little series with more photos to come very soon!

Better than one gorgeous girl is photographing two beauties! Having 3 sisters myself, I love seeing sisters together and the connection only sisters share. Something so much greater than the biological connection. You can tell these two share so much in one another’s lives and enjoy the times they spend together. It made for a fabulous afternoon! We ended with this special sister time. A little tea party with vintage teacups and a teapot of their Grandma’s.

I know I keep saying it but I really loved each time I took photos in the heritage houses and every sessions was so much fun!

Thinking back to when I first met Britany, who also works for the magazine, we easily could have spent the entire afternoon chatting away. With similar taste and loving vintage + pretty things, I cannot wait to see all that this incredible bride-to-be will put together for their July wedding!! I know it will be very beautiful and filled with special, pretty details!

Brooke | Weyburn, Sk heritage house

I adored my time with this gorgeous lady! I’ve gotten to know Brooke over the past several months from doing some photography for Fine Lifestyles magazine. You might recognize her as being co-publisher for the Estevan Weyburn magazine. A total sweetheart with stunning smile that carried thru to the last shots we took in these pretty, vintage surroundings!

When we needed to postpone their shoot again because of weather in early February I surely thought by mid-April a lot of our snow would have melted. Not so. A cold wind blew hard but we were determined to capture their family’s first portraits. What an honor! I was glad Nicole told me they were adventurous. Getting up into the loft of our barn, especially with a 1 year old, is just that! The light pouring thru the missing slats + cracks takes me in every time. This barn has a lot of history being built over 80 years ago. A real juxtaposition with a young family excited of what their future will bring!

Nicole is also a photographer so their sweet little girl has a lot of experience in front of a camera. Lexus stayed pretty serious but I just love how bright eyed she is and she did so well considering this weather. She maybe even let her parents snuggle her a bit more than usual! Nicole has her studio outside of Estevan and specializes in newborn photography – NZ photography.

I try to leave time during family sessions to capture just the parents. I especially love when clients request beforehand that we make time for the two of them!
