Birthday Boy {Bozeman Baby Photographer}

This little cutie is celebrating his 1st birthday today!

Adorable 1 year old stands by a red chair

Blue-eyed Bozeman Baby boy

And I had the pleasure of spending last Sunday morning at the park with him.  Even though Mom and Dad joined us for the photo shoot, it was readily apparent who the star of this family is. . .

Mom and Dad share a kiss while baby smiles at the camera

He literally has Mom and Dad around the finger. . .

Reading books. . .

Playing “flying”. . .

Oh yeah, he’s got them right where he wants them! :-)

Baby is the center of attention

I think I’ve decided that 12-15 months old is one of my favorite baby ages (of course the fact that I have a 14 month old little guy myself doesn’t have any factor in that decision!;-)).  They are just so full of joy and happiness and energy.  Every moment is a new, fabulous adventure.  They’ve figured out how to start communicating with the world, but haven’t figured out how to have tantrums and meltdowns like a 3-year-old (of course my own 3-year-old would have nothing to do with why I know anything about that!;-)).

But, mostly, their sheer delight in the world is just so darn infectious!

A Bozeman baby gives a great laugh for the photographer

I guarantee you have a smile on your face right now!

He was still smiling, even when we were “all done.”

Happy Birthday, Little Man!  And congrats to Mom and Dad for surviving their first year of parenthood!

Mountain Views {Bozeman Family Photographer}

It was a busy weekend, and I have a lot to share, but I’m starting with this family so they can have a little sneak peek before they escape for a short vacation this week!

I had a little competition as photographer during our session. . .

. . . but he proved to be pretty good on the other side of the camera, too!

Just like his adorable little sister. . .

They even showed me a bit of their sibling love, which definitely made this photographer happy!

Siblings share a special hug

Mom wanted mountains in their family photographs and since we are blessed to be living in Bozeman, where the peaks surround you no matter which direction you look, it was easy to appease her.  The light and our location was just perfect to attempt a silhouette shot and I’m so happy with how it turned out!

And since they’re such a good looking family, we made sure to get a nice shot where you can actually see their beautiful faces and the mountains.

As you can see, it was a gorgeous evening with a lovely family, and I had great time.  I really love my job!

Worldwide Photo Walk {Bozeman Photographer}

This Saturday, July 24th,  photographers across the world will be walking the streets of their towns, cameras in hand, snapping away.    Yes, this happens every day of the year. . . but July 24th is special because we’ll all be out there as part of the 3rd annual Worldwide Photo Walk.  Over 31,000 people have registered to participate in an official Photo Walk near them.  It’s not just for professionals, either.  Anyone with a camera of any kind (yes, even your cell phone camera!) and a love of photography can join in.  And while part of the fun is knowing you’re part of something so much bigger than yourself, the other part of the fun is meeting a small group of people who love doing what you do and who live in your very own town.  And you feel a little less silly walking around your town with your face behind a camera when you have lots of other people doing the exact same thing as you!  Oh, and did I mention that it’s free?  And there are giveaways and prizes to be had?

So, if you love taking pictures, join thousands of other like-minded folks and check out this link to see if there’s a Photo Walk near you.  The fabulous Thomas Lee of Montana Photography Workshops is leading a walk right here in Bozeman–Saturday at 8:15 a.m. starting on the corner of Main St. & Tracy.  Check out their blog to sign up and get more details.  I’ll see you there!

A family recipe {Bozeman Family Photographer}

I discovered the recipe for a happy, loving family. . . first, you take 2 handsome brothers:

Who can be nice and serious. . .

And who can be filled with laughter. . .

Add a loving mother. . .
