11 Comments 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... click the images below to enlarge 'em  Yep. It can be expensive to have a professional portrait made. I will admit it- this is an investment. However, you don't have to spend a fortune on new outfits for your session- sure, that can be part of the fun of having portraits made, but let's face it, sometimes it's better to save that extra money for your amazing new wall portrait! When it comes to outfits for your family portraits, I am happy to come to your home and help you 'shop your closet.' Yep, that's a service I can offer you as my client- and it won't cost you a single penny! I will not only come to your home to help you pick great outfits for your portraits, but I will even measure your walls to help you create beautiful room groupings specific to your space! With all that said, here is a quick clothing guide I made for you all with Walmart clothing. I have to admit, when I set out to make this clothing guide, I thought "Walmart, this outta be a challenge..." Well, it wasn't that bad after all! As you will see, I was able to make a ton of great looking clothing groupings. Call me today so we can get started on your personalized consultation and the best portraits of your life! Amy {In}spire Portrait (406) 868-1663  Did you know that you can have as many of your images from your session that you would like? You can keep a copy of the best-of-the-best to keep forever and always in your very own album. Albums start at only $600 for a custom designed book. Let's face it, you will love so many of your portraits from your session- but you may not always have the space to display them all. Every image will be lovingly retouched and grouped together to create a keepsake to last for generations. Call me today to schedule your session so we can make you some memories to last a lifetime! click the images below to enlarge!             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?! 
What the heck am I going to wear? That's the age old question! Every day I wander into my closet, scratch my head, throw a dart and hope for the best. Of course, my day-to-day life doesn't require me to look portrait ready all the time- but it sure gets me thinking about what I would wear if I were going to have portraits made. If you are taking the time to have an heirloom portrait made, wouldn't it make sense to find something that you love, that is flattering and (above all) timeless? Sure, you can consider your favorite schlumpy jeans and comfy sweater- but will these items really be the best for your portrait session? In any image, it's important that the group looks unified without being too matchy-matchy- figuring out how to put it all together can be a little intimidating sometimes! Never fear, {In}spire Portrait is here to help you figure out a GREAT look for your upcoming portraits! I have designed guides to help you come up with a look that makes you feel great while coordinating with the space you plan on displaying your portraits! Just a few quick pointers before I release the first clothing guide: -Anyone in the portrait over the age of 18 should have long or 3/4 length sleeves. You can roll 'em up or push 'em up, that's fine with me- just put on a longer sleeved shirt and you are off! -In an image, our eye will be drawn to the area with the most contrast. For that reason, keep all of your clothing selections in the same color family- no matter how cute your white capri's are with your favorite black T-shirt, this is not the time to break that outfit out! When the audience views your beautiful image, the first thing they will notice is your glaring white pants! -Logo, No-no! I understand you love your Aber-Holl graphic 'T'- it's really cute (who doesn't love moose n eagles- or whatever critter) No matter how classy your graphic t looks today, it will 'date' your image- just ask your parents about how much they love their feathered bangs and hipster-before-they-were-hipster gigantic glasses. Let's make an image you will be proud to display for a long long time! -Please keep loud prints/plaids etc. to a minimum. Go ahead, let Dad wear a subtle plaid shirt, then let's keep everyone else in a more plain style. Your three-year-old will look so darling in her Hannah Andersson patterned tights- but don't go crazy getting a polka-dot dress for you and a big striped shirt for daddy. One (maybe two if they are both pretty little) crazy outfit per clan, please, haha! OK, I've blathered on for long enough- I probably lost most of you way back in the second paragraph. Without further ado, I present to you the first clothing guide from Inspire Portrait. best to you all, amy PS, It doesn't seem like it at the moment, but summer is slipping away from us FAST! Call to schedule your late summer and early fall portraits today- before the snow flies again!  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!
