Every baby is a Special Delivery- I am so lucky that I have been chosen to photograph these precious little people.  Newborn and baby photos are some of the most fun I get to have in the studio.  Keep watching, some summer fun images will be up in a few days!

Happy Mother's Day!

To the new moms who will celebrate their first Mother's Day. To the frazzled mothers of toddlers and to the mom's pinching themselves that their 'babies' are SO big (that's me!)

To the fur-baby moms- and mothers of feathered and scaly babies, too, your babies may not be able to express in words how much you mean to them, they love and thank you.

To the women who have struggled with infertility, miscarriage or infant loss who long to be parents- you are no less a mother than I am, though your heart and arms ache you are still a mother in a different form. You count, too.

To the mothers who have lost children at ANY age, I ache for you, I know I can't fully understand your pain, my heart holds yours.

To the mothers of children who have run away or are missing, my heart is with you. Your struggle should not be yours alone- you are loved.

To the children who have had contentious relationships with their mothers, you are loved by your community. Wishing you peace and tranquility.

To the single moms who are dads, too- you have super powers that many of us will not know.

To the single dads who are moms in their own special capacity- being the mom AND dad has it's special challenges- you are GREAT!

To the children of women who have departed, wishing you peace and love knowing that your mother's loving energy is surrounding you today.

To the special 'aunties' and neighbors and communities who have adopted folks new to their town- your bonus motherhood means so much to those around you- and to their biological mothers.

To adoptive mothers and the birth parents to the adopted children- wow! What a gift to be able to build a family together, your selflessness amazes me!

Remember the people who are unconventional moms today, too. I know someone in each category- I love you all. You have helped me be the person I am.

As you might guess, these puppies take a fair amount of time to accomplish. That means starting in June I will have to start offering these premium handmade cakes for an additional cost. HOWEVER, if you pay for an Inspired Birthday session in the month of May, you will automatically get a FREE Inspired Babycake for your session.  No, you don't have to be having a first birthday or even a special birthday, just celebrate your birthday session with Inspire!  You can book your birthday session any time within the next year (May 2013- April 2014) and you will get your special cake!

Inspired Babycake sessions are only $200 and include a regular session AND a celebration session on the same day!  Call me today to book your session! (406) 868-1663

We have finally done it.  We have dipped our toes into the waters of international destination wedding photography!  Little ol' {In}spire Portrait is now available for international commissions!

Recently a photographer friend of mine was going to renew her vows in Costa Rica and asked us to photograph her most important day.  We were honored (but rushed) to be asked!  See, before this opportunity, we didn't even have our passports- we were asked to photograph the wedding on a Monday and we left Montana the following Saturday!  (Yes, it can be done, but it's gonna cost a pretty penny to rush your passports that much...)

We have found that we LOVE Costa Rica- if the kids were out of school we'd probably move there tomorrow!  Luckily for you the kids are here for a while and I have two years left on the studio lease- after that all bets are off...

I'll be showing more portraits and snapshots of our adventure over the coming days- for the moment enjoy these amazing wedding portraits from Mrs. Chasity's amazing destination wedding- via Montana photographers, LOL!

Not much to say here- he's just perfect!  Look how perfectly round that pretty little head is! 

*pinches self*  I am a lucky little photographer!
