Family photos

Mother and Daughter portraits

Being a father of two daughters made this photo shoot especially enjoyable.

My good friend Margaret (and partner in many photographic escapades) asked me to photograph she and her college bound daughter Morgane. Of course I was ‘all about’ that and we made plans for an evening above the Yellowstone River near my home.

The light was fantastic, the river was full and rolling through the valley below as the mountains filled the entire eastern view of Paradise Valley. Picturesque??? You bet! Enjoy the view…

Margaret is a highly proficient yoga practitioner and teacher who created a yoga retreat that takes yoginis all over the globe … a yogini for sure! I have been honored to work with Margaret for a couple of decades capturing many yoga retreats and meeting hundreds of wonderful souls. However on this day, I was capturing Margaret and her daughter Morgane who is taking off to college in the months to come.

Morgane grabbed onto one of my cameras and in an instant the tables were turned. She handled my Nikon D like a pro!

Cheers to Morgane! ‘You go’ young lady and create the life of your dreams. With best wishes, warm regards and many fun memories. Larry, Heather and all the Stanley family.

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!
