{Refresh} Child Photography in Sheridan, WY
I’ve been a little MIA for a variety of reasons lately – one, we are on vacation. Well, my hubby is on vacation so that means I am on vacation and am required to keep the schedule to a minimum for camping and mountain adventures. =) And you know what? Even though I wasn’t so sure I wanted or needed a break mid-summer, it has been entirely refreshing and incredible to have some downtime. My mind works overtime constantly and so to take a step back requires a great deal of effort. But it was perfect and I need to do it more often!!!
The hubby is heading back soon and I have two shoots over the weekend, which I’m really excited for. But until then, it’s movies, sunshine, errands and getting acquainted with my new computer. ;) I’m officially a Mac girl….and am still adjusting. =)
But onto what else I indulged in over the past month. (My taste buds are always tempted by the adorable bits and pieces of babies – these piggies were no exception!) =) I think little ones are by far my favorite subject for obvious reasons…
I attended a retreat with the lovely Barb Uil of Jinky Art, and truly, it was an experience of a lifetime. I believe in bettering yourself, no matter what stage of the game you are at, and this was truly inspiring for me. I’m ready to take my business to new heights, new ventures, new looks and in new directions.
A huge, HUGE thank you to Barb, who is such a kind, generous and incredibly talented woman; I feel blessed to have met her and her sweet family. I loved every minute of it!!! Here are a few images from a few of our many shoots – I haven’t had time to process everything we took, but this will give you a small sampling.
Another huge, HUGE thank you to Teresa, our lovely host and owner of the beautiful Meadowbrook Farm. It was not only a gorgeous location to shoot at, but SHE was amazing. We got to chat more on our last night there, and honestly, she’s one of the people that stick out most in my mind. She exudes all kinds of loveliness and is one of those genuinely adorable people. =)
I’ll be back with sessions from this coming weekend! (or maybe a few of my own babies before then…)

LOVE the photo of the baby in the swing! LOVE IT!
And the last one? AMAZING! Great job. I am certain you do not actually need these workshops, you are already awesome
Oh, I must admit I’m a bit jealous of the workshop, what a great experience! And these pics are amazing, just beautiful!
wow, these are gorgeous! how amazing that you get to go to barb’s retreat! can’t wait to see more
Okay, girl…..those are absolutely amazing. I knew your photos would be gorgeous. I must get busy sending all the moms the link. Just beautiful. Were all those with your 50? Wow.
BTW, I’m a new and somewhat confused owner of a Mac as well. I need to go to Mac school, or something. Yes, adjusting to say the least.
Enjoy your down time, Alissa. It’s good to turn the mind off even if it’s just for a little while.
Love all of these! Looks like the retreat was a good one! Wonderful images as usual!
Alissa, Have I ever told you that I LOVE what you do? Just checking…because well…I LOVE what you do! You are so good and these photos are amazing!
Ohh how I love these!! They are just magical!! and those shots with that vintage daybed?!! ohh! So perfect!
You took pictures of my daughter at the retreat in Montana. Her name is Bryn and she is the girl eating the cupcake. I love the pictures you posted of her on your blog. I am also glad I painted her toe nails the night before because I absolutely love the one of her feet. Thanks so much for posting them!!! Your work is spectacular. Wish you lived around here to take pictures of my kids.
What a wonderful job you did capturing my son Greyson’s curiosity in his photo(the photo of the baby in the swing). I wasn’t sure if you would be able to get a good shot, he got kind of camera shy, but some how you captured it! Love your work.
