{Cabin in the Woods} Sheridan Wyoming Senior Photography
I have an affinity for mother/daughter duos, perhaps because I have my own baby girl and I also have a mother who happens to be my best friend. It’s the best kind of gift and a relationship that stands the test of time no matter what. And from an outsiders perspective, it’s always inspiring to see teenagers who remain close to their mom’s through that teenage fog. And if you’re a woman, we all know “the fog”. =) I was invited to do a senior shoot at this family’s cabin in the woods, about a 40-minute drive from our own cabin in the woods. And I arrived to the most quiet, secluded, quaint little cabin tucked away in the mountainside, where just she and her mom had been enjoying their weekend. They’d been riding four-wheelers most of the day and hanging out, and I just kept thinking to myself, “THIS is exactly what I want to be doing with my own daughter someday…”
The weather was a bit ominous, cloudy and even rained for the first part of the shoot, but I was determined to get this gorgeous girl in front of my lens. We ventured out into the wide-open meadow where the light was a little brighter and it ended up becoming a perfect evening, with a gorgeous senior who obviously has her priorities in all the right places. Family first. And I felt an affinity for her…and I think my camera felt that same affinity. =)
can you possibly get anymore beautiful than this??:
Thank you so much to these two ladies for inviting me up and allowing my little family of four to share in your ever-so-quaint and cozy cabin in the woods. I hope you love these as much as I do!!

{Early Birds: A Sneak Peek} Family Photography in Wyoming
This morning, I got to start my day with these three and as with all my lovely clients, had such a great time!! Honestly, a few years back, I considered not shooting families anymore for a variety of reasons. And now, they happen to be my absolute favorite sessions. I enjoy capturing moments between families, finding something unique in every single one, and the challenge that comes with creating art with multiple people involved. Did I mention I love families?? ;)
Case in point, I had such a fun morning with this cute clan!! This family came with no agenda, was laid back and just rolled with the punches as I tried to acquaint myself with their very shy little man, exploring and focusing mostly on said shy-little-man’s big blue eyes. Holy Moly. He is beyond darling. But seriously, they are all quite easy on the eyes, huh? ;)
So without further babbling, grab your beverage of choice and enjoy!
the little man’s favorite part of the day was definitely the discovery of this magical piece of machinery: =)
and lucky for me, the light was glorious…
and a different bw feel for me…and I kind of love it. Very filmesque I suppose. =) What do you think?
and one last favorite from their session:
A big THANK YOU to this sweet lady, her adorable little man, and her very laid back, easy-going husband. I enjoyed meeting all of you!
Have a great weekend everyone!!

{Genuine} Sheridan, Wyoming Family Photographer
Post titles can often be the hardest part of posting for me. Silly, yes, but true. When I thought about this family, the first word that popped into my head was genuine. Truly, I think the world could stand to hold so many more people just like this sweet family of four.
This is the 4th time I’ve photographed this family, from a toddler session, to a maternity/family session, to a newborn session and then finally, this vibrant family-of-four session.
And I love them. I enjoy watching them interact and spending time with their adorable little people – the little man is truly the most well mannered, kind, adorable kid EVER. And the smallest peanut, well, the pictures show the big grins and adorableness that encompasses nine months. ;)
Enjoy the over-sized sneak peek =) !
i just love this one…
Well, that last smile should leave you happy! ;) Truly, a HUGE thank you to this family and especially the mama of these beautiful babies. She trusts me every year to capture all of he most precious memories, and for that, I am so grateful!!! You should check out her blog – she is someone I admire; I love that she is so honest and tells it like it is. I really think we could all use a little more of that in our lives. And leave them some love in the comment section!
Thanks for stopping by!

{Mr. & Mrs. Mullinax} Sheridan, Wyoming + Montana Wedding Photographer
Being invited to photograph a wedding, to document the very day that two people vow before God Himself to love and cherish each other forever, is such an incredible feeling. You never know what to expect, but you always know that love will be present and that there will be happy people everywhere you turn, celebrating with friends and family. And I love weddings. I love witnessing people in love and documenting the story behind one of the most important and treasured days of their lives.
This special day, with these amazing people, was no exception. There was anticipation…
and there was beauty…
and there were expectations of the greatest kind…
and joy…
and romance…
and pretty things…
and love…
I was honored to document the beginning of this family. The start of something new and entirely unique.
Thank you to this family for trusting me to capture these once-in-a-lifetime moments for you! I am so grateful to have been a part of it!
Leave the newlyweds some love in the comment section below! =)

{What is Custom Photography?} Sheridan, Wyoming Photographers
I was browsing one of my friend’s blogs today (Yvonne Niemann: check her out!) and I found this article that she had linked to. And although I’ve seen similar articles around and about, I hadn’t really taken the time to read through it entirely – and I thought it would be beneficial to share here.
http://www.professionalchildphotographer.com/information/
I often wonder if others know what exactly goes into their custom portrait session, the time that is involved and the heart that goes into creating their artwork. The shutter release is only the very beginning of the hours that are spent behind the scene culling, editing, communicating, ordering, packaging, delivering, not to mention the education, bookkeeping, scouting locations, purchasing the best professional gear on the market…the list goes on.
Photography IS art. It’s beautiful, timeless, emotive and should become the heirlooms that are passed down through the generations of your family. I love the fact that I get to create artwork for people. And that the artwork features their most prized, precious and heart-felt treasure: their family.
Food for thought. =) Happy Thursday!
……………………………
And on an entirely different note, I thought I’d pull one from the archives; this family has been in my thoughts lately as they fly to Ethiopia this week to bring home their 4 newest kiddos!!!
Put this incredible family in your Google Reader, follow them, support them and send up a little prayer for them!

{She Had Me Call Her Lucy…} Children’s Photography in Sheridan, Wyoming
You see, her name is beautiful. Perfect and lovely in every way. A name that by most, would be absolutely perfect: Isabel. But upon meeting her, she preferred I call her “Lucy”, the name she wishes she’d been given. ;)
And so I obliged. And I called her Lucy the entire 35 minutes we spent together. And she seemed to like it. ;)
She was spunky and wanted me to work for the shot, which I actually {{LOVE}}. It makes my job fun…and when kids are silly, it makes for beautiful imagery in my humble opinion. ;)
I adored her energy and her spunk – she was too darn cute. And did I mention she also happened to have an equally fun and handsome older brother? Yup, so handsome. And a little soft spoken. And absolutely charming in every way.
I think this is my favorite from the entire session…their expressions (and gorgeous light) are priceless…
Did I mention he was charming?? His eyes were soulful and he just had this aura about him. The girls will be flocking to him in the near future…in fact, I heard they already are. ;)
And even though 10 and 5 are ages than don’t typically go together, big brother was gracious enough to humor her (and me) and I just LOVED this shot…
Thank you to these kiddos and their mom for driving quite a distance to come and hang out with me – I enjoyed ever minute and look forward to sharing your entire gallery with you!!
