Paradise Valley studio

Yesterday found me shooting in my favorite outdoor studio… Paradise Valley Montana. I like to think of it as my BIG BACKYARD! We had been waiting for the last week or so to get the weather to cooperate. On this day, we were gifted with a comfortable 57 degrees with luscious sun and just a slight breeze. Perfect weather for family photos in our scenic home in Montana.

The youngest showed up in his Buzz Lightyear outfit and his older sister was being a bit shy. Evidently, he was determined to wear this costume for his photo session! Sooo… I jumped in with both feet (being the silly kid that I am ) conversing with the kids, falling down while snapping away with my camera like everything was perfect!!! Soon ‘Buzz’ was happily giggling at my schenanigans and his beautiful older sister became a shining ‘star’.

The stars of the show had arrived!

Then the Buzz Lightyear outfit came off and we were all playing happily together, making fun and beautiful photos that Mom and Dad will cherish for years to come.

Enjoy the view!

I admire Oli’s wardrobe choices!

Fun with Jude

Last Saturday I visited a young friend of mine.  His name is Jude.  I photographed his mom and dad’s wedding in 2014. Then in January of 2015 I photographed Jude while he was in his mommy’s tummy.  Last year I met Jude for the first time outside the womb and we had lot’s of fun making photos together.  This year I got the call from Antonia and Rance once again with an invitation to make historic family photos.  I got to know little Jude a bit better this year and you can see in the photos that he is a happy, intelligent and loving little guy.

When shooting with an almost 2 year old boy, things can be really wild.  It takes just about every trick that I have… and other’s I sort of have to make up, to capture and keep the attention of a busy young boy.  Then, add to that two dogs (brother and sister) and, well, they gave me a run for my money!

Here’s some of my faves.  smiles!

Oskar’s big day

I have had this photo session on the books for a few weeks now and each time we tried, the weather just didn’t cooperate.  Yesterday was different. All systems were go!  We shot for about 35 minutes and towards the end something very special happened.

Oskar has been pulling himself up lately and had found some poles in the ground to hold on to.  He was looking pretty determined and focused, so I sat down in the grass to grab some images of him at his own level… then he proceeded to take his first steps!  It was amazing.  He let go of the pole, he bobbed, he weaved, he looked like a surfer without a board and then took some steps.  He repeated this several times to the cheers and joyous shouts of his parental units.  It was awesome!

Oskar ‘the great’,  it was a big day!

Oskar is our next door neighbor… along with his parents Chuck and Emily Raymond.  We love Oskie!   Enjoy!

family time in NY

A few weeks ago I was in the Midwest. This week I am in the Northeast and I am loving the change of view. It’s family time for me around the US… and I have been flying around viewing life through the eyes of my family, young and old and reconnecting to our common roots. OH SO GOOD for this guy!
So take a look and may it bring appreciation of all family ties: yours, mine and others. Family is a great blessing!
With love in my heart.
