Hearts at the Square

You've gotta click on this top image to see it better!

Rita & Dennis said they've never danced together before, but I don't believe them for one second. They were absolute pros! Nothin' like a good ol' jam session to get things going.

This newly married couple wanted to have their pictures taken at the Paris Gibson Square Museum of Art for two main reasons - it's where they met & it's where they got married this month! And the museum's motto couldn't be more perfect: "The Heart of every town is its Square."

Congrats Rita & Dennis!

Erhard Family Part 2

OK Kathy - you asked for it. Here's more of my faves...

Lil' Isabelle was a total ham that day!

The More - The Merrier

I LOVE big familes. Lots of kids means lots of funny comebacks, giggles, questions, crazy poses, tears --- and I love it all. Especially when it’s my nephews & nieces I don’t get to see enough.

All 4 of these kiddos have such distinctive personalities. They fill their role in the family in a sweet way & it’s been fun seeing the changes in them whenever we come visit. Matt & I smother them with hugs & they don’t seem to mind one bit --- something we hope will never change! Here's more of our family: Clayton, Christian, Natalie, Isabelle, dad Mark & mom Lisa!

Sluice Boxes

Matt, Duncan, Boerne & I recently took our friend Jed hiking at Sluice Boxes. It's a beautiful state park 8 miles south of Belt that you have to check out...especially this time of year as the leaves change colors. When we got there it started pouring, but we waited about 10 minutes and the sun came back out. Typical Montana weather. It ended up being a gorgeous and relaxing hike. And according to Duncan, the water was perfect.

Our Family's Blessing

There’s a saying that goes: “God only gives special children to special people.” That is exactly what God planned when my nephew Andrew was born nearly 3 years ago. He has a rare disorder called Beckwith-Wiedemann Syndrome, which delays his developmental progress. But this guy is a fighter & has the very best support system – his family. He's also got the creamiest, yummiest skin & lips shaped like a perfect heart.

Tonight’s entry is going to be the first of MANY family photos. Matt & I just returned from our vacation in Minnesota. First up – our main man Andrew with his incredibly fun-loving & dedicated mom, dad & big sisters.

Lindsey + Hannah

I found new models - my nieces! Matt & I are on vacation in Minnesota visiting family. Although I promised myself I wouldn't be on my computer or cell phone - I can't help it. I couldn't wait to post these pictures of my gorgeous lil' nieces. It was raining the whole time we were taking pictures last night, but we found a few spots where we didn't get soaked. They were such troopers & they made me realize how much I miss being near family. These girls have the sweetest hearts & I'm even more in love with them. Watch out boys - these chicks are gonna be heartbreakers.

Happy Birthday Jessica

My little sister has the most infectious laugh you'll ever hear. She sneezes like Wile E. Coyote, spoils her dogs rotten and makes a mean chocolate chip cookie. I miss her so bad & wish I could be with her celebrating the day she was born. Happy Birthday sis!

Home Sweet Home

This family is very special to me & Matt. They're the type of friends you feel lucky to have...and the type of people you never forget. After leaving Montana a few years ago to live in New Mexico & Florida, they're back home in Montana. We feel so blessed that they're in Great Falls now so we can watch their children grow! We shot a few impromptu pictures in front of our house the other day. The baby's laugh is hysterical!
