As you all may have noticed, my blogging was a bit lack luster last summer and fall. I must say, I do have a great excuse! I was expecting little Cecelia and was working super hard to get all my weddings wrapped up before our bundle of joy arrived. So, I'm playing catch up, which, I must admit has been fun. I love looking back at all the fun portrait sessions, commercial work and weddings I shot last year.

This is an engagement shoot I photographed of Jake and his beautiful fiance Heidi last July. Jake and I went to high school together. Heidi went to a different high school but we did play a little soccer together. It was so much fun cruising around Chico and paradise valley catching up. I can't believe how beautiful and green it was... the Montana winter must be wearing on me. I start craving COLOR this time of year.

Anyways, Jake and Heidi were just married last weekend in Billings. It was a fantastic, beautiful wedding. It was a blast photographing two wonderful Billings families and all their friends. It was quite the event! I'll be blogging photos of it soon. Stay posted!

Does the blond mommy third from the left may look familiar to you? It's Frances from my maternity shoot! We got to talking and she told me about an awesome prenatal yoga class held at the Bodhi Tree Wellness Center here in Bozeman. I attended and met a group of amazing mommies as well as Gloria Overcash, our yoga instructor. Gloria needed some photos for her website and asked me to shoot them for her. It was so much fun! The only bummer was, I was 8 months pregnant and was wishing I could be in the photos with all these beautiful expecting moms.

At any rate, if you are expecting and looking for a great body and mind workout I highly recommend Gloria's class. Click the link below if you are interested!

Back in September Frances gave me a call wondering if she could schedule a maternity session with me. I was so excited to hear that she was due one day before I was! We scheduled to shoot in early October. It turned out to be a beautiful fall afternoon and I was so tickled to get to know Frances and Todd and chat all about the craziness of pregnancy. Long story short, now Frances and I are dear friends and get together weekly with our daughters and with a group of other new mommies. Congratulations Frances and Todd on your new baby girl, Chapin! I look forward to watching her grow.

So, I've started to come up for air from mommy land, well, sort of. I photographed Hilary and Tim's engagement session around Bozeman, Montana. It turned out to be the first time I was away from Cecelia for any extended period of time. I have to be honest, it felt great to be out shooting again. I am slowly but surely starting to work. Which means you all will have more blog entries to check out and if you would like to schedule your portrait session give me a call.
