BRRRRR BABY ITS COLD OUTSIDE!!!!

I am never ever ready for winter even though I have lived in Montana all my life!  We had such a lovely, abnormally warm fall...then boom and when I mean boom.... I mean BOOM!!!! Today so far we have gotten up to -14 degrees....

Makes me yearn for these days like the picture below.......

I am not sure if anyone is out there...reading this....but tomorrow morning we hope to be on a flight to Austin, TX.....new scenery, warmth and family.

When we get back I hope to have some kick ass photos to share!

Happy Thanksgiving to you all...if anyone is out there :-)

When the weather was nice.....

So glad we were able to wrap up the Czech family pictures on Sunday because today the wind is whipping and it is only 20 above out there....thinking its only the beginning....yuck!!!!


As I mentioned before I still have so much more to learn...hold camera straighter...not be scared of big black dogs barking...work with the sun...learn photoshop...ha ha...I am so so so happy to have friends that are willing to let me practice on them...


Thanks again you guys!!!  CU @ CAT/griz game....

Had to add this one because whats a photo shoot without wind in Cut Bank!

see how cute they are?!?!

Josh found this cool location...could have done more if I wasn't so afraid of big barking dog!

I absolutely love this picture!

This one was a tad dangerous..haha

Love how Spencer is clinging to Kim

I love the vivid colors

A person doesn't even realize colors on old doors  until you take time to notice!

Noah loved this shot!

Czech Family

Well my first family photo shoot was the Czech family whom we have been friends with for quite some time!!!!  But somehow I was still nervous (mostly because I think family shoots are the absolute hardest) but like usual they did their job just fine.  As soon as I got home I downloaded their pictures and some just were blurry (which usually does not happen)....well dumb me....had 2 filters on my lens and one of those filters can help to make things blurry?!?!  Luckily we still had some great shots but today if the weather holds we are gonna go take some more.  
                                                  Please wind don't blow!!!!                                                            

Here are pix that we got oodles of positive comments on and some of my favorites too!

Brianna

Brianna volunteered to be my first model to practice on because the kids were sick of me asking.  She made it so easy and she made me addicted!  She is my daughter Cori's very good friend whom I just adore (because we think alike ha ha).  I hear she is an excellent cook and wouldn't mind attending culinary school, but whatever she chooses to do....she is gonna do great!

Thanks Brianna!!

natural beauty for sure

Barefoot & Happy

This girl has a free vintage spirit

She enjoys playing her guitar

This was her idea since her dad works in the oil business

we couldn't resist ...this truck was calling her name!

Best Friends 2009

Well I have always enjoyed taking pictures at family events, but realized I need to start taking pictures for my kids for keepsakes.  So my first "photo shoot" began a year ago with 6 amazing girls, one of whom is my daughter, Cori...They allowed me to drag them around the country in the cold wind...I think at first they thought I was crazy but soon joined in and had a blast! At least I like to think they did...time sure flies because now 5 of the 6 are Seniors...soon to start a new chapter in their lives.

Thanks Girls!!

they look like rock stars
