Oh goodness me – what an absolute blast I had with Katie, Anthony and Dominic for their Missoula family, maternity and baby photos the other day. I was so, so excited when Katie contacted me about making these images because 1) I just adore them (I photographed both their engagement and wedding) and 2) I hadn’t yet met mister 14-month-old Dominic yet! AND Katie told me she’s due with another little one at the end of January – so there is a lot to be excited about!
Not surprisingly, Dominic is completely adorable. For having just learned to walk about a month before their session, he motored around very well and navigated the tall grass with only a few (soft) tumbles here and there. He also was enamored of the view (as in, he literally could not stop staring at the mountains – so cute!), loved pointing at things, definitely holds a soft spot for all things rock, and really enjoyed playing in the dirt and taste-testing it too.
He had a blast “chasing after” and “getting” his mom and dad, and would fall into them and cuddle hard. They’d shower him with kisses and hugs and, good gravy, folks! They’re such a sweet family!
Dominic was also extremely curious about what I was up to and would toddle to me as well, bestowing smiles and hugs upon me (melt my heart, mister Dom!).
We all had such a fabulous time laughing and dancing and pointing at rocks. When we weren’t doing this, Anthony treated Dominic to shoulder rides, and Dom treated Anthony to some new hairdos – haha! Dominic also really loved it when I made my camera fly through the air and “swoosh” at him which elicited all sorts of smiles and giggles. Which, of course, nearly rendered me into a pool of heart-meltiness all over again.
Katie, Anthony and “Vacation Dom!” Oh my gosh, you guys! It’s such an understatement to say how much I loved getting to hang with you and document your new stage in life as parents and family. I always know my face will get a workout from smiling and laughing so much when I’m around you, and this latest session was no exception. Thank you again for having me capture this little slice of life with you all – here’s to more Montana visits in the future! :) :)
On the Docket:
Portraits, weddings, elopements and editorial shoots! Stay posted!
