Emily Rose and Katherine

Look at those lips! What an angel.








































The sweet reward of this photo shoot was taking a nap with Emily Rose when we were done. I must say, it was the nicest nap I have ever taken.

Sarah, Kevin, and Copper

Kisses.....













and hugs!
























































































Today was a beautiful day for a stroll through Cathedral Park. I had a great time with Sarah, Kevin, and Copper, and am excited for their wedding in August!

new album design

Jaimee came into the studio tonight and her album design wasn't quite done, so I am posting the rest of the design as well as two favorite double page spreads for her (and all) to check out. She and Rich had a gorgeous wedding at First Presbyterian Church in downtown Portland.

My older brother Matt and his wife Jamie run a cattle drive (think "City Slickers") on their place, and I am the photographer. We have an amazing time each year, living life the 'old west way,' riding all day, cooking over the campfire at night, and sleeping in tents under an amazing Montana sky.

Matt and Jamie on the '04 cattle drive.
My home town, Winifred, is in Central Montana. The town has about 150 wonderful residents. It's where the pavement ends and the fun begins! I always love to go home.
