I Heart Faces- Motherhood

Motherhood... something I, myself, haven't had the pleasure of experianceing (yet!) but it is definatly something that I love to share the joys of! Nothing brings tears to the eyes quicker than the sweet bond of mother and child. The simple love that God so wonderfully shows to us as well... Nestled in the protective arms, we are safe, warm and loved.

I hope that you got to spend a love filled day with your mother. <3's

I Heart Faces- Wind

Its been awhile since I've entered into the I hear Faces Contest, but when it comes to wind, I LOVE IT!!!!

This engagement session blew me away... and I use that literally and figuratively! This beautiful couple got engaged on the shores of Hawaii, and they wanted to do a re-enactment of it on the beach of Lake CD'A where we did the session. The wind was whipping that day, but we used it to our advantage and between the beautiful waking waves and ZuZu's hair, it doesn't get much more romantic than this!

Cory and Missy are Married!

I have a very special spot in my heart for this session for a couple of reasons.

Cory is my cousin and we grew up very close to each other. Our mum's were pregnant with us at the same time, and then our parents spent alot of time together so of course we spent alot of our young growing up years hanging out together too. Then when all was said and done, and Missy and Cory sent out their save the dates... as life would have it, they picked their wedding to be the same day as Jeremy and I! So as Jeremy and I celebrated our 6th year anniversary, we watched in celebration as Cory and Missy said their vows and declared their forever love.

I just love the fact that I share so many important and special memories and now an anniversary date with my cousin! and his new and wonderful wife, Missy!

I love you guys and can't wait to get the rest of your images ready!

Operation Love: ReUnited - Missoula Family

It seems that the weather likes to try my endurance when it comes to Operation Love sessions, but I'm always blessed with the sweetest families that are willing to deal with our crazy Montana weather.

Today's OpLove session was done with the proud papa of a beautiful 7 month old baby girl, son, and gorgeous wife! Home on leave for 2 weeks, this family made special time in the schedules for me to come and do this session on the campus of the University of Montana. In true Montana form, we enjoyed the "Big Sky" and the crazy wind that came with it! Thanks for being so awesome L and R!
