Once upon a time...when I was a pharmacy technician makin' IV's at Benefis Hospital, I met Kristal...a pharmacist who was super patient with me as I was new to the whole IV compound thing...anyway, I thought she was pretty cool!

She contacted me right before I left MT to see if I would take her families pictures and I was honored to oblige :) I don't wanna leave anyone out from my Montana "chapter of my life" so had to post these fun pictures from their session :)

This makes me laugh!

Mommy and Daddy time...

...by these two...

They are twins and they are SO much fun!!! Each with their VERY different and unique personalities. It was so cool talkin' with Mamma about this huge difference before meeting them, and then really experiencing what she was talking about.

May Claire: reserved yet a risktaker

Emma: cautious yet comfortable

This was my last session I did in Great Falls....and I am truly thankful that I got to play with these sweet girls before I left. They are at such a fun stage! And they aren't like alot of 7 year olds I see...they truly have kept their innocence...THAT is what I love!!!!

And that is what I wanted to capture...their purity and their playful spirit :) Before their session, I had a dream...Yea I know it's weird, but I dream shots... Anyhoo, I saw them painting each other's faces...so I mentioned it to Mamma and she loved the idea! How many photo sessions do kids get to do that?!?!? So, at the end of our session I broke out the paints and let them go at it...after they were done, they wanted to paint my face too!

I quickly accepted the invitation and went back in time:

the fair

the face painting booth

the coolness of the paint

the tickling of the paintbrush

These girls gave me not only a fantastic evening, but the opportunity to be a kid...again...

The light was so pretty here :)

Mamma said I could easily cast in the movie "Brave Heart" with the twins' awesome makeup artistry :)

Please excuse my lack of blogging while I get my life in order ;)

I can't wait to get some new clients on the bloggy! But, until then, I have yet another personal post if ya don't mind :) Of my sweet Ashton! It's interesting that after we watched "The Toothfairy," while Omi was visiting and helping in my new home, my son coincidentally states that he had a loose tooth...hmmm...did he wiggle it loose by force?

At first, that's what I thought, but this morning my little boy was so excited to announce that his tooth "fell out." I looked into his mouth and saw the empty space...my next discovery concluded that Ashton in fact did NOT yank his tooth out on his own....there in his pink gums, were little white buds protruding...I flashed back to when he was a baby and felt my nose sting and eyes water. I can't believe how fast he's growing!

Oh, and you know you're a photog when your kid says,

"Hey Mom? Can you take a picture of me and blog it??" Hahaha!
