Hello all. It is I, Cloeie, your new digital duchess! I spent a good long time thinking about how I was going to introduce myself to you, and even had a few good paragraphs for you before my computer crashed and stole all of my well thought out ideas. So here I go round 2!

I first met Amy Coe when I was very pregnant and looking for someone to take some maternity pictures of my overly plump belly. The results...amazing to say the very least. Since then she has taken several hours to photograph my very uncooperative son on numerous occasions and we just clicked.  

When I first agreed to help with the blog I remember having a conversation with her that led into the topic of brain surgery. Yes, that's correct, we were sitting in her studio talking about brain surgery. I am sure you are asking yourself what would a girl like me, new founded digital duchess, know about brain surgery? Not a whole lot, only what McDreamy has taught me on Grey's Anatomy. But, back to the point that was trying to be made in our weird analogy, was that Amy, whom we shall henceforth refer to as McAmy, is with a camera, like a brain surgeon  is with a scalpel. You wouldn't  trust your dome piece with anything other than a specialist right? So why would you want to treat all those special memories with anyone other than a specialist with the right tools? I give you McAmy! 

So in the up and coming  we will be posting new photos and new blogs as regular as possible. If you desire something that isn't being talked about let us know. This blog is for you! Don't forget that. In the meantime check us out on our Facebook page and like us for updates and special offers, here's the link: http://www.facebook.com/inspire.montana . Also there will be a new photo of the day posted there so check us out!

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!
amy & cloeie!

I think the urban modern/vintage vibe of this session is so cool.  THEY are really cool. My job is nifty!

So, as you are probably guessing I keep my other half hoppin' making me nifty new things.  It's a fact of his life- poor guy.  SO, when he makes me pretty new things, I have to kinda use 'em- and I try to do so a LOT- cuz I want him to keep making me nifty new play things!

This is Colette!  We made some very special pix for her birthday.  We wanted to show everyone the things that are most important to her!  Family is what it is all about, right?!

Families are fun- especially when they get to use a spiffy new prop!

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.

I feel old-ish.  Next week my beautiful, funny, smart daughter turns 10.  Where has the time gone?  In a year all three of my children will be in the double digits.  It is true what 'they' say- it goes so fast. Sure, when you are in the thick of it you think- Is this ever going to end?  Then one day it does.  Suddenly all those little baby socks are replaced with earrings and pretty baubles.  Somehow, though, some vestiges of childhood remain (she still sleeps with her ratty old Winnie the Pooh.) 

Don't grow up too fast, little girl.  I'm not ready yet.  

Isn't she lovely
Isn't she wonderful
Isn't she precious
Less than one minute old
I never thought through love we'd be
Making one as lovely as she
But isn't she lovely made from love

Isn't she pretty
Truly the angel's best
Boy, I'm so happy
We have been heaven blessed
I can't believe what God has done
through us he's given life to one
But isn't she lovely made from love
-Stevie Wonder

Yesterday was a good day.  I met a spectacular PA, I visited with a dear friend and I met a gorgeous mommy and her new baby.  Ya know, I really AM a lucky little photographer!
