and because I have been talking and talking about WALL DISPLAYS here is a sample wall display I pre-designed for them!

 

 

I spend many hours at my studio alone, for some reason it’s so relaxing for me.  I should probably be tiding up the place but I just enjoy the quiet and my surroundings.  I had read this post a couple weeks and was thinking about it at the studio yesterday.   I had lost the link and was kicking myself for loosing it before I chould share  such an important message.  It was one of those things you think about over and over, I even thought it’s TIME for another family photo…. Brian snowmobiles… what if the unthinkable happens???….what if I hit a tree skiing–what if???… so I emailed my sister that day and asked her to photography my family again.  It’s time.  After thinking about this post and jumping from blog to blog I found it!!!! So, now you MUST READ!    CLICK HERE

 

It’s hard for certain people to justify photography, usually husbands.  I have had clients call and say “this will be our FIRST  family photo!!!” and I  reply, “GREAT!  I am SO glad you are doing this!  How old are your kids?” to hear “six and ten.”  It is hard for me to not go blank…. thoughts are racing through my mind.  I am SO happy they have decided not to let another year go by without beautiful pictures but almost feel bad for them, like they have missed out on capturing so many lost moments with their kids and also, that their kids don’t have pictures of them together.

 

So why am I so crazy about photography and Itty-Bitty Portraits?
Because when its all said and done what I want to remember is my family and what my children will want to remember is their family = Brian and I.  I want to remember the sun lighting up Calli’s beautiful blond hair, I want to remember Layla’s tight hugs around my neck and her warm nose on mine. Pictures keep that moment real for me,  let me capture that for you. Tina

Mr. G {Billings Newborn Photography Billings Montana}

Ah, Mr. G!!!!!!   So beautiful with with his perfect chin and hair!  It wasn’t too long ago I was photographing his sweet big brother who might I add looks like the older clone of Mr. G.  I was lucky enough to photograph them with their first, now they are back with number 2!  What beautiful changes have come their way.  I hear so many nice comments about their beautiful family canvas from their last session  in Dr. Wallace’s waiting area, I think we may need to add one of this sweet little man there too!  They are a gorgeous family without a doubt, completely enamored in their beautiful boys and I am so thrilled I was able to see them again in my studio!  Thanks R & G for the fabulous session– you guys are great!  n-joy
