Long Time No Post!

Well, it took a year, but fall is my season. I got to take pictures of one of my favorite, photogenic families! I love watching their little girl change over the years, and catching up with friends is always fun. We seem to spend much of the time laughing during pictures, which make for great faces. The weather and leaves were perfect for this fun, fall, family shoot!
My Favorite!

Go MONTANA!

Nothing like a little team spirit for a family photo! And boy do I love this cute family, not to mention I totally support thier choice of team colors! ;) We had fun with these pictures, and you can't even tell it rained on and off during some of the photos!

A Fun Family Photo Shoot!

Well, one of my favorite customers/closest friend, decided to enlist me to take pictures of the whole clan this year. I have to say, with the commentary made by her and her sisters, I'm amazed I even got some decent pictures... Considering I was laughing so hard I could barely keep the camera steady!

Time Flies, and times have changed.

So I haven't been too busy on the photography front lately. It's been a stressful few months what with Bruno dying in September and getting a new crazy pup in October. Where have the months gone!
So I wanted to post a few pictures of Bruno, and will upload some of the new pup at another time. Those of you that know me, and knew my Bruno, knew we were connected. He was the best little buddy a girl could ask for. He was sickly from the get go, and was constantly on meds and in and out of the vet for surgeries and visits. With all that, he was still the happiest little guy you had ever met. He loved everyone. I miss him everyday. He past on September 12th, after suffering with a short battle of a malignant tumor. He lost sight in his right eye, and the ability to breathe through that side of his nose. What started as what looked like an eye infection turned into my worst nightmare. Before I knew it, he could barely open his mouth and I knew it was time. It was the single most difficult decision I have ever had to make. There were days I couldn't have gotten out of bed if it hadn't been for him. He helped me survive my year in Idaho, I was never alone. He may be gone from this world, but he is still here in my heart, and my love goes with him.

Ahh, to be 13!

I love 13 year olds! All the giggling, and whispering, and running off together to the restroom every few minutes to check their hair. My good friend's daughter turned 13 and decided to have a "photo shoot" for her birthday. I have known this girl since the day she was born, and even before then! I consider this family as my second family, I call myself the crazy aunt, and they all would pretty much agree! The girls had so much fun posing and hamming it up for the camera. The majority of the poses were their ideas, and the locations made the pictures even more fun! I had a hard time sorting through the 550+ pictures I took, as both of their young ladies are extremely photogenic, thus making my job that much easier! Gosh, Golly, I love these! Look out middle school, here they come! Their parents ought to invest in bars for their windows and deadbolts for their doors! These girls will break plenty of hearts one day!
(By the way, I so wasn't this cute when I was 13...I was way awkward and geeky!)

I Love It!

My camera is a Godsend! It has connected me with friends both old and new. This last weekend I had the chance to catch up with a good friend from highschool (whom I hadn't seen since highschool mind you) and take some pictures of her adorable little family! It was a blast, and tonight as we got together to look at pictures, time just flew by and we picked up chatting and catching up on the years. It was so good to reconnect, and I am glad I had the opportunity to share my love of photography with her family. As she would tell you, I had a camera with me all the time in highschool, so a little hobby has turned into a passion. I love being behind the camera and trying to capture each moment, and I think we got some good ones this last weekend. Even if the time change made the little one cranky, it was well worth every photo. Frozen in time, thankfully not frozen in November! Thank goodness for the beautiful fall weather! Enjoy!
