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.

Cecelia and I have been settling into our new routine here at home. Its been interesting trying to juggle work and baby girl, but I'm managing.

Over the next few months I won't be taking on much work but will be taking bookings after March and potential client meetings if you would like to meet and take a look at more of my work.

Over the next few weeks I plan on blogging shoots from all last year, updating my wedding website and rebuilding my portrait site. I'll of course be brushing up my baby portrait skills photographing Miss Cecelia weekly.

Here are some of my latest favs at 3 weeks old. She's so funny when she just wakes up from a nap. Lots of stretching and funny faces.

Enjoy!

She's here! She's here! Bill and I are so excited to announce the arrival of our baby girl, Cecelia Elizabeth McConnell. She was born Tuesday, December 15th at 4:54am here in Bozeman, Montana! She's absolutely perfect and Bill, myself and our families couldn't feel more blessed. She arrived just in time for Christmas.

So, as you might assume, I am going to be out of the studio on maternity leave for a while. I will however be taking appointments and bookings. Jennie Lynn, my fabulous associate will be in the studio a couple times a week filing print orders, shipping albums, relaying messages and keeping things running. Feel free to email me if you would like to get together. I have been checking my email but some days get a little full with a newborn, so just know I am doing my best to get back to you right away.

My home phone number is 406.585.4622 if you need to reach me right away.

Here are some pics from Cece's 5th day out of the womb. Her first of many many photos shoots I am sure.

Lauren, she is a gift from God and his hand shows in her new born smile. Congratulations to you and Bill. Enjoy every moment you can with her. My oldest is 17 now and rushing around with bf's and singing. They grow up so fast and as we get older they seem to grow even faster so don't let the shutter stop for a second or you will miss the years.

It always amazes me how 2 different photographers can be on the same shoot and come away with such different images. I guess it shows we really do see things through our own "eyes".

My dear friend, fellow photographer and business partner (we co-own Blubird Images) Larry Stanley took these fantastic photos of me. Thank you Larry for fitting me into your crazy busy schedule. The photos are gorgeous. I feel so lucky to have you in my life. You're going to be a great "Uncle".

Lucca dog, as many of you know, goes everywhere with me. The studio, home, hikes and now, on maternity shoots. He was so content in front of the camera. We couldn't get him to move. Funny dog!

Its one of those funny things... the carpenter house is never finished, the photographer never has photos of herself... Well I've finally got photos of myself! Actually, Larry Stanley, Cali Sparing and I went on this photo shoot over a month ago and I am just finally getting some photos online to show you.

It was literally the last day before the weather took a turn for the worst, September 28th and Larry and Cali met me up in Bear Canyon. We headed up behind the house into the fall colors. Little did we know a cold snap would hit the next day and no more fall colors after that. We really lucked out! Cali and I headed out into the valley to take advantage of the last bits of sunshine.

Anyway, these are photos of me by the fabulous Cali Sparing. Thank you so much Cali! They are gorgeous! I was 30 weeks pregnant. I look about the same now at 34 weeks.
