You know that friendly woman who lives down the road? Sometimes you see her walking her dog or pulling out of her driveway as she waves a neighborly “hello!” — That’s Angie.

Keni & LC Family | Billings MT Family Photographer Mini Session

When it comes to scheduling portrait sessions, winter in Montana can be touchy! We were originally aiming for the middle of January… but when the day of the session rolled around, we both decided it was just too chilly. We decided to try for the following weekend.

Happy Engagement… to Me!

Oh, Lordy Lordy! It’s been one hot minute since my last article.

Life has been busy and a bit stressful, but I can’t complain even if I wanted to. Anyways, happy engagement to me and Zach! He proposed this past Sunday and what’s the first thing I want to do? Take macro pictures, of course!

Christmas Portait Mini Sessions in Wolf Point, MT

Next week is Thanksgiving. Holy turkey crap! The holidays are sneaking up on us (as usual). That’s why I will be offering Christmas Portrait mini sessions on November 17 and 18, 2012!

I’ll be in Wolf Point this year. Since it will be a location shoot the setup is going to be a little improvised, but I have no doubt that it will be great. Check back in the next couple of weeks to see my entire set up, including a DIY Twinkle Light Backdrop!

Here’s a sneak peek. Gru helped us take a few test shots last weekend. <3
