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

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!
Don't pretty pregnant bellies make you feel springy? Maybe it's just me, but all that anticipation and growth just makes me feel a kind of hope I only feel in the spring. Cloeie is such a dear little momma! She has this sweet infectious giggle- she is so excited about her new son. Well, instead just talkin' about it I outta just show you. Here ya go- and just think, in the next few weeks I'll be showing you her pretty baby!
beautiful girls all over the world
i could be chasing but my time would be wasted
they got nothin' on you baby
nothin' on you baby
they might say hi and i might say hey
but you shouldn't worry about what they say
cause they got nothin' on you baby
nothin' on you baby
B.O.B- Nothin on You
OK, I have a feeling that wasn't the original intent of the song- but I sure can spend a lot of time thinking about photographing beautiful girls! Yesterday I met some very very beautiful girls, and their daughters (*grins*)
Yesterday's first session was with a 4 month-old little lady who is being baptized on Sunday. Yesterday was her first professional portrait session, I have a feeling this will be the first of MANY! She was SUCH a HAPPY baby. Her mommy just glows in motherhood, too.
My second session with 9 month old Mackenie. Yet another perfectly happy baby! She would smile and giggle and laugh and clap her hands. Her mother is so very busy with three older children, I am just not sure where she gets the energy!
Whew! I gotta say- some of my favorite images of all time were created yesterday. Dang, I am one lucky girl!
What is in the water these days?! So many baby bumps, so many babies- this town is gonna burst at the seams! In the very near future I have heard that there will be up to 35 newborns just among the people I know. Whew. Brace yourself blog followers- it's gonna rain babies!
This pretty momma has the most gorgeous skin I have ever worked on. Beyond just having that 'pregnant glow' she just has gorgeous skin.
I can't hardly wait to meet the new baby- if he is even half as cute as his big brother he's gonna be a heart-breaker!
Babies are grand- they are even a lot of fun when they are still on the inside! In three short weeks this little bump with be a little person I get to snuggle up and love on! I can't hardly wait! Miss Bump's sweet momma will be in before she is 2 weeks old for some amazing portraits. I can't hardly wait!
How much do you know about Kranz Flowers and Gifts? I know that when I was a kid it was THE place for beautiful flowers, plants and high-end gifts. I also know that in 2010 Kranz was purchased by a new owner. I know that since ownership has changed they are 'Bringing Quality Back' and that is the case in every way possible. Kranz is truly experiencing a renaissance- new blood brings good new things!
Right now, I would like to introduce you to the new owner, Brandon. He's a great guy, he has a lot of experience in the world of sales and running a business. Not only that, he's really doing amazing things with a treasured Great Falls company. I am honored to have had the opportunity to make a portrait of Brandon in one of his coolers.
If you haven't been in Kranz in a while, go check it out. Go introduce yourself- show Brandon how excited we are to see his shop gong gang-busters!
