Do you ever feel as though the universe is conspiring against you? At this moment I am blaming my dependence on internet technology and the development of the toaster. I am very big on instant gratification, so is it really so much to ask when I click the button on my computer that it will magically transport me to said page? Or when I pull the lever on the toaster that it  browns my son's waffle to golden perfection? But no, my computer has to really think about it, its taunting me and asking me if I am really sure about what I am about to do. I wish I could communicate with it, "Oh, thanks for asking, I guess your right I probably don't need that fancy fifty dollar thingamagig! I really appreciate you looking out for me" Then  it responds, "I am sorry for delay, glad I could help you think about it, but I have become unresponsive, do you wish to kill me?" Alright, alright, it really only asks if I want to kill the page but at this point it might as well ask for death.

 Then there is the toaster...I thought we had worked out all the kinks on this thing. It was invented in 1919 along with short wave radios and arch welders, don't see me complaining about those! But going on strike when my son is hungry and before I've had my first cup of coffee is unacceptable. Patience is a virtue, but not my virtue. Why isn't speed and agility or multitasking virtuous? Perfection and invention are not synonymous.

I suppose it has all worked out for the best, Trent got to eat mom's from scratch waffles with peanut butter and bananas and all of you got a new blog!  So provided my computer doesn't crash here are some cuties of perfection straight from the McAmy, and remember to check out the Facebook page fo r  lots of exciting stuff! http://www.facebook.com/inspire.montana

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 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!

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!
