Peachy

There are few words that can describe Helen and Shane.

Awesome about sums it up.

I was in their lives for little more than eight hours, and was left wanting more. It was fast, furious, and a gorgeous wedding.

To be honest, it was a bugger weeding out pictures. There's so many I love that just radiate the coolest couple ever. But, it has to be done. Posts can't be infinite right?

So without further ado...

Helen and Shane, getting hitched.

Va va va voom!





My absolute favorite of the day...



And the token photographer shot.
How else would you know I was there?

Summer update...

I'm back from Girl's Camp.

It rocked.

We were eaten alive by mosquitoes.

BUT,

...we skipped rocks (and all those other things you do at camp).

The itching has worn off, but the great times should "linger longer".

I also thought it would be fun to share what happens in our house when it's hot and water is allowed wherever and whenever the kids want.

I get my windows done and little one learns the joy of squirting water in his own face.



I believe I've got some wedding pictures coming up...stay tuned ;)

Camping

That's where I'm headed.

Into the wilderness for four days with a hundred or so teenage girls.

I've got a tub load of nail polish and am ready to rock.

See you later.

Wonderful

Meet Shane and Helen. Some of the most wonderful people I've had the pleasure of photographing. They welcomed me (and my camera) into their most special day without a moments hesitation.

I've got stories and a few hundred other images to get up...

but for now...I tease.

And I love Helen

who did not run for the hills (in her gorgeous white gown)

when we pulled up here...



...for portraits.

Oh yes, there is much more to come.

Apple-bottom Jeans

Is Apple-bottom supposed to be two words or one?

When in doubt, hyphenate.

I've been dying to get to these images for a few weeks now.

This is my niece who spent 18 hours in the car (in one day!) with me and my children driving back from Kansas City. The least I could do is some portraits when we got back to the beautiful valley we call home. (If any of you are still confused as to where I live, watch A River Runs Through It. That's home.)

We had a great trip, with grand adventures. How many girls can say they spent their sweet sixteen in a mini-party-van driving all day?

Not many I tell you. And they would be jealous if they only knew...

Happy Sweet Sixteen Hunter, you are absolutely beautiful.

A great perk of having Hunter here was her ability to get the pack of boy cousins that live here together for pictures.

Have I mentioned there are LOTS of cousins between our families?

And yes, good looking just comes with the genes.

Part Deux

I always make good on my promises.

I've got more pictures.

Who am I kidding though, really, I've ALWAYS got more pictures.

Meet sweet Alice again. When you can't get enough, post twice.

And the final shot of the day...


BINGO!

Go to bed

It's a sad but true fact that I am toast tonight.

You come here for pictures, and you don't need to hear my *ah hem* case for how I have more to do than daylight hours. That's saying a lot, because Montana has all of 5 hours of dark at the moment.

The blog has fallen to the wayside of client orders, taking pictures, a trip to Florida for an ahhh-mazing wedding, getting ready for a camp, cleaning house, and oh, taking care of the kiddos. Really though, if you just toss some food and water in front of the TV you don't even have to watch them...OK, OK...I kid I kid.

Enough.

Back to the pictures.

My sister is getting married in November. I'm so excited. We got to hit their favorite stomping ground and do pictures, downtown, my way.

These aren't all of them (because I've promised I'll get to bed a decent hour) but some of my favorites nevertheless.

Noah, you know I love you.
This one is really one of my favorites.

More to come.
Soon.
