Erskine Family | Family Portrait Photographer | Helena, Montana

I recently had a quick session with the Erskine family. I've said it before and I'll say it again – I truly have the best clients ever! This family was no exception, either. They are fun and don't mind being silly,

I love to capture moments that aren't necessarily posed and definitely candid. I always try to capture moments between mom & kids or dad & kids or dad & mom when they're not looking. You can really see the love in those moments, like the one below with mom & son.  

 The three kids all had tattoos and were happy to show them off (don't worry, they're not all real!!)

Michael & Tammy | Engagement Session | Helena, Montana

When I first talked with Michael & Tammy about their engagement session, I had tons of ideas on how to pose them to especially show off the ginormous rock on her finger. Well, they had a whole different idea on how they wanted their session to go. They are not ones to be flashy (with the exception of the engagement ring of course!). They like things simple, to the point. Tammy wanted a session that was truly about them and NOT the ring. What? I know, right? I've never had a girl tell me I don't want a lot of shots of the ring! Every couple is unique though and what was most important is that I think I captured the love the two of them share.  It was obvious in everything they did; the way they looked at each other, the way they touched each other, they way the smiled at each other.

Robert & Jenna | Family Portraits | Missoula, Montana

Last week, I got to spend a beautiful afternoon near Missoula, Montana with one of the nicest people I know, Robert and his daughter, Jenna.

It’s been so wonderful to watch Jenna grow from a chubby wide-eyed baby girl, to a energetic gap-toothed little girl. I can’t believe how fast the time has gone.  Every time I am with them, I am amazed at how much love they show each other. She is definitely Daddy's little girl. I’m so happy they asked me to shoot these moments for them.
