At the end of June I became an aunt all over again when my amazing brother and his wonderful wife adopted two of the cutest little girls ever.  Don't believe me that they are crazy cute?  Well, the proof is in the pudding- or the pictures, as the case may be...

I love family portraits.  There. I said it.  I love making them, I love viewing them, I just love family portraits.  This family is, like, model cute.  They are all some of the most beautiful people I have photographed in a long time! Their little guy was up for anything, too.  I'm a lucky lucky photographer!
 
 
I just love a pregnant momma!  So full of hope- and a person to boot, ha!  In a few short weeks, this family will go from 3 to 4 when they welcome their new baby girl!

Don't you just love this laugh?!

Well, I'm guessing as the snow is piling up outside that I spoke too soon about my spring feeling! The good news is Great Falls is having its annual home and garden show next weekend to help better prepare us for our spring {In}spiration! Spring should be right around the corner, but no promises since we live in Montana! Starting 3pm on Friday the 30th the Home and Garden show will be open and {In}spire Portrait and Design will be there too! Come check out the booth for some special Mother's Day offers and a drawing for a chance to win some cool prizes!

Also if you have had pictures taken in the last year, McAmy is working on free Facebook timelines for anyone who is interested! Just shoot us a message on Facebook and let us know, don't forget to hit the "like" button while you're there http://www.facebook.com/inspire.montana. Hope to see you all next weekend!
 
 
While it seems Spring may be officially here, three days in to be precise; I am not so sure if the days are really getting longer or we have just been tricked into thinking they are by way of last week's daylight savings time. I heard a hilarious analogy regarding our governments tradition, which was: Only we can be tricked into thinking if you cut the top of a blanket off and sew it onto the bottom that it makes said blanket longer! The more and more I think about it, the more I have to admit I have been tricked for years and probably many more to come. I still miss you, my hour, but I will see you again next fall!

But with Spring comes flowers, that is after we get past all that white fluffy stuff! And here are some photos that made me feel very springy indeed! So as long as we can keep the snow at bay for a few seasons, we may actually see some springiness 
Hopefully you are now {In}spired to go get some of your own springy photos taken! Give us a call at (406)-868-1663 to set up an appointment. And don't forget to check out the Facebook page  http://www.facebook.com/inspire.montana, Be looking for our very Easter {In}spired photos of the day!
 
 
Hello long lost friends!  What a year it has been!  I know, It's been nearly a year since I have blogged.  Have me beaten with a wet noodle.  Since we last 'talked' a lot of things have grown and changed with Inspire Portrait.  In the coming weeks and months watch the blog to see all the exciting changes that are coming up!

The first exciting change is my new digital assistant, Cloeie!  Cloeie has agreed to help me manage my digital life- to help me blog more regularly and help maintain my Facebook Business Page.  Add us on FB for exclusive specials and images that page again: Facebook Business Page.

So here she is, my lovely Digital Duchess- Cloeie!  Both of us will be posting to both pages- so take a moment and say 'hi!'  We'd love to hear from you!

This little gal may not look like it, but I think she is a party animal.  She wanted to party with the rest of us so she came along about 5 weeks early! 

What a teeny little peanut!  She was all squishy and sleepy- and the fastest newborn session I have ever photographed.  I loved every minute of our time together.
