Boy oh Boy I thought I could keep up with blogging but nope-if I could afford to hire someone to just do my blog post that would be awesome.  I am so sorry for falling behind. Yes it has been Months since I wrote a blog post.  So Sorry!  There are times I think, do people even read my post, do I really need to write one.  I have been told by others yes it is important to do so.  Ok well here goes... 

The last couple months have been busy.  During the summer I was taking care of my grandkids 4 days a week.  Those 4 days are always different so it was hard.  I was also taking sessions and trying to be a working mom again.  Trying to find enough time to get things done didn't always happen.  Now that school is back in and both are in preschool this year I have a little more time to get work done :)  Today I was caught up on all editing and though oh lets go write a blog and update my peps on what is going on around here.  
I have been finding being on social media is a life sucker and I have been trying to limit my time online.  Got rid of my internet at home, so when I come home it is family time.  I have learned to leave work at work.  Or I am trying anyway.  So If I do not answer your messages right away just know that I will return them when I get back to the studio :)  

I have had lots and lots of sessions over the past few months.  I am so blessed and grateful to have such amazing clients that keep my business going.  You guys mean the world to me.  I know over the last couple months I have not been feeling my best either.  More mentally then anything.  I have been fighting with doctors over the past 2 years to get things figured out.  So if you have seen me at my worst, on one of my bad days I am sorry.  If I ever came across rude, short or negative I am sorry.  Please know I am working on that and trying Really hard to get things fixed and back to me again.  I am not one who likes to share my personal stuff with the world but there are times I feel it needs to be shared.  We are all human and we all have bad days.  There for a while I got tired of putting on a smile and going to work like nothing was wrong.  To the clients who had to see me down or not myself-I am sorry-Thank you for being there!  You guys really are what gets me through sometimes.  I am so grateful and blessed that I get to call this a "job".  I love creating art for you and couldn't imagine doing anything else.  So Thank you for all the Love and support over the years.  <3  From the bottom of my heart Thank you!!!
I will try to blog again next week or later this week on all the favorites from the past couple months.  :) 

For now I will leave you with the Family Fall special.  If I get enough interest I will open up another date. If you would like a spot Please give me a call, email me or find me on facebook! 

Family is everything- Capture the love of your family to be cherished for many years to come!  Those little moments don't last long-our babies grow up fast!  Capture your family moments now!  Freshen up your walls with new family portraits.  Guess what...your family pet is welcome too.  :)

I have been photographing this beautiful lady for a couple years now.  I have loved working with her and her hubby.  They are so kind, sweet and caring.  They are going to be amazing parents.  I am so happy for them and can't wait to meet their new little guy. 
I love being able to capture so many special moments in peoples life's.  I get to meet so many awesome people and when they come back year after year we became friends.  It is one of the most rewarding jobs.  Being a mom is another amazing and rewarding job.  Congrats you guys!  

Hello everyone!  I wanted to share with you all my up coming specials and mini sessions.  I like to plan ahead and hopefully you do too :)  
I will be adding a few more mini sessions though out the summer but for now I have a few to share with you!  These sessions are great for anyone who only wants a few photos and small session plus who doesn't like to save money!
First up:  I added one more day to the Mother's day mini sessions.  Friday May 4th.  Starting at 8 am and going until 5:30 pm  I know it is hard for us moms to be in front of the camera but trust me-your kids do not care what you are wearing, if you have gained weight or now.  They love you for who you are.  This is a great way to get in some photos with your kids-trust me they will look back on them years from now and love them.  I am sure you will too.  I do have a few gowns/dresses you can wear if you like.  I can help with styling as well.  

My last 2 specials are Family Minis.  One for the Summer and one for the Fall.  This year the summer one is going to be held in a Very Pretty location outside of Cheyenne Wyoming.  Those spots are very limited so don't want to book your spot!  The Family one I haven't decided on the location yet.  Give me a call today to book your sessions!  307-575-1702

New life is an amazing thing and to be able to witness a new little human coming into this world is truly a blessing and honor.  Even more special when it is your granddaughter.  March 1, 2018 I had the honor of witnessing my new granddaughter coming into this world.  What a wonderful, exciting, special, emotional moment.  I have had the honor of photographing all my grand babies coming into this world.  But for some reason this one was different.  For a long time my son's girlfriend wasn't going to let me in the room.  Which I totally understand how uncomfortable it can be for her.  I was so crushed at the thought of missing such an amazing moment.  The week she was due to come my son told me that I could be there as long as I was not taking photos of baby coming out.  :)  I was on cloud nine.  I remember the day all my boys were born and I so wish someone was in the room photographing it.  There are moments I do not remember and wish I had images of those moments.  So I was so happy that I could be there and help capture these moments for them like I had for my other 2 grand babies.  I wish them many many many years of happiness and love!
*the look on my sons face during one of Andie's contractions is priceless.  She had a pretty tight squeeze on his hand.  
Meet my pretty little granddaughter Birkliegh Kelley weighing in at 6 lbs 6 oz. 19 3/4 inches long.

I didn't get to spend to much time in the hospital after she was born as my hubby had to go back to work.  And mind you we are about 2.5 to 3 hours away from them.  Going home was so hard, I told my hubby I don't want to go-I didn't get to take enough photos lol.  I wanted to get her first bath and feet prints and more.  He says well at least you made her for her birth.  True.  I couldn't wait to get her in my studio to do her newborn session.  I was so nervous as my helper couldn't come in that day so my son was my helper.  At one point I was shaking cause I was nervous, and my son says-mom you ok why are you nervous?  I said well I am so happy but nervous cause I want these photos to be awesome and I want you guys to love them-I don't want to mess up knowing I only have today to get them done.  Plus my helper is gone.  Hes like really mom-you are fine we love whatever you do.  Then I relaxed and enjoyed every minute.  Even though I felt rushed.  I was shocked how nervous I was-I have been doing this for many years and never get nervous for a newborn session.  I think I just wanted to make sure mom loved them and I wanted to make my son super happy.  Which is weird cause I want every person that walks in my studio to love their images and be happy.  
Here are a few favorites from her session.  Can't wait to get her in her for her 3 months.  They grow so darn fast.  I want to capture all of it.  Sorry for the cuteness over load.  well no not really sorry lol  Hope you enjoy!

​Thanks again Andie and Dylan for letting me part of this amazing journey.  

I am the worst at keeping up with my blog and writing.  I am terrible at writing and at grammar.  So please forever give me.  I have been busy with so much going on here at the new studio and at home.  Let me try to fill you all in on all the things that have been going on.  :)
First off I want to say a BIG thank you to Everyone who came out to my open house.  It was a wonderful turn out and I loved seeing and visiting with everyone.  Thank you from the bottom of my heart!  It truly was awesome!  We had lots of people, door prizes and treats.
I couldn't of done without all my family, friends and clients!  THANK YOU!!!

Next up my Adorable granddaughter came into this world March 1st.  I was so honored to be able to witness her birth.  The amazing things us women can do.  I have had the honor of watching all my grandbabies enter this world.  A true blessing!  Meet my new adorable granddaughter Birkliegh Kelley Weighing in at 6 lbs 6 oz.  I so wish I could see her more often.  I do plan to do a whole blog just one her soon.  

I have been busy with lot of sessions, meeting new people and enjoying my "job".  I can't tell you how much I love working with so many people and getting the honor to create art for you all.  It brings me joy, happiness, sometimes tears too.  I get to meet new people, make new friends, watch all these amazing adorable little ones grow and I get the honor to capture it.  What a blessing God has given me.  :)
Here are a few of my favorites from the past few sessions that I have had in the last couple weeks.  Hope you enjoy.  I am going to try to start blogging each session from now.  I find it very hard for me to write.  Because I suck at grammar, spelling and writing it is not on my top things to do-I have had people message me telling me how bad my writing is or how bad the grammar is.  So I have always left it for last and then I forget to do it.  My new goal this year is to write a blog on each session!  
Again Thank you to everyone for all your support!  If you would like me to create some custom art for you and your family I would love to work with you.  Give me a call and we can set something up.  These moments of life go by fast.  

Oh this family was amazing.  This was also my first in home lifestyle session.  Which I am finding I love and want to do more of them.  Going into this I was a little nervous but oh so grateful to this wonderful family for allowing me in their home.  They have the prettiest home and the most amazing light.  I wish my home had this much amazing light.  
I wanted to show case real life, every day moments.  We all get caught up in things needing to be perfect-perfect outfit, hair has to be just right, the kids need to act perfect, perfect smiles, ect....That is not real life.  It is nice but lets get real.  I want to feel something when I look at an image.  I want to look back and see real moments, real life and feel something.  I want my clients to feel the same.  I am so excited to be offering this type of photography. 
In this world of photography we can get into a funk and lose sight of why we are doing what we are doing.  I was getting to the point where I wasn't producing the images I really wanted.  I wanted more emotion in my work.  I know my work is all over the place and I am ok with that.  It is art.  Each session speaks to me in a different way and each person who comes to me wants something different.  I love to step out of my comfort zone and create.  I am so grateful to each and everyone of my clients who come to me with a vision and allow me to put my spin on it. Thank you

This family was so much fun to photograph.  It was real life, real messes, real breakdowns, life with kids is never perfect!  I love every minute.  I could share their whole gallery!
Thanks again Chelsea for allowing me in your home and allowing me to photography your family.  You have a wonderful family!

I am so excited to invite you all to our Open House Feb 23, 2018 from 4pm-6pm.  
For the past 2 and half years I have been working from home since my last studio space flooded.  I dreamed of having a bigger studio space again.  I worked hard and here we are in our new studio.  I can't wait for you all to come see.  We will have treats for you to enjoy, door prizes and a special discount for that day only!  Mark your calendars and come on down and help celebrate our new space!

2018 has started off with lots of new little life.  These tiny little gifts from above are so sweet, tiny and cute.  They are only this little for a very short time.  I am so honored that I get to capture God's gifts!  The parents are super lucky to have such a special little gift to cherish!  Here are a few of my favorites portraits of the newborns so far this year.  Sure have had a run on little boys!   

-I loved you from the start,
you stole my breath, embraced my hear
Our life together has just begun
your part of me my little one-

Oh these mamma's are so pretty!  Just glowing in love and joy!  Carrying a baby is full of joy, pain, happiness, blessings and a gift.  Why not capture that beautiful moment... I know some of you are like but I don't feel good, or why would I want to remember how big I was?  Trust me you will want to look back in time one day.  It is a beautiful memory and gift!  I have many gowns that you can pick from to wear or you can bring your own.

Here are a few of my favorite maternity images from the last few sessions.  I think these are becoming one of favorites as well!
