It’s always so fun to me to have the opportunity to make family pictures for people – maybe it’s because I’ve always enjoyed looking at my own from years past, and remarking over how tiny we once were, how much we’ve all changed, but at the same time, how much we’ve all stayed the same, too. So it was such a treat to get to meet up with Amanda, Travis, Robbie and Amelia for their Lolo Montana family pictures the other day and capture some memories for them that they’ll one day look back on as well.

The weather was a little on the crazy side, but everyone was game, and we made it work for us. I’d say things turned out splendidly, even if our cheeks and noses did get a little rosy. :)

Robbie had a great time keeping an eye out for the turkey family that decided to visit us here and there, and he even informed us that he had spotted some goldfish in the creek (that’s quite the eye, Robbie!). Amelia melted us all with her sweet smiles and big blue eyes, and Amanda and Travis snuggled their sweet kiddos against a gorgeous Montana mountain backdrop.

Thank you again for such a great session! You are such a beautiful, happy family and it was a joy to get to document this time in your lives for you! :)

On the docket: lots more portraits!

Cheers,

Dalton and Eleisha – where do I even begin with these two wonderful souls? We’ve been having a blast since we first met – their engagement session in the snow seems like just yesterday!

Zip ahead to August and these two tied the knot at the Lumberjack Saloon in Lolo, Montana. The day was splendid – bright blue skies, gorgeous sun to act as a spotlight on all the festivities, and so many happy, smiling faces.

Dalton and Eleisha were both glowing – Eleisha looked like a princess in her beautiful gown, and Dalton was dapper in his suit. Laughter was a staple of the day, as was great dancing – guests showed off their best moves on the dance floor in the evening light, and everyone laughed and smiled as they celebrated Dalton and Eleisha pledging their love to one another.

Thank you so much, you two, for inviting me to document such an incredibly special and beautiful day in your lives – I absolutely loved every second and, from the bottom of my heart, wish you years and years of happiness, love and lots of laughter. :) Congratulations again!
