On a roll…

August 26, 2010

…with seniors.

Despite the “dog relief area,” the woman who threatened to call the cops and the bug infested vines…Catherine never lost her brilliant smile. She’s a mature young woman who I admire. Thank you Catherine for such a FUN (and funny) evening!

The Bitz Family

August 23, 2010

When I moved to Great Falls, my best friend Mia introduced me to Holly.  Seven years later, there’s a husband, daughter Emma and baby Ava in the picture.  And what a sweet picture they are…

Emma kept saying: “Hey Cindy…watch how fast I can run!  Are you fast like me?”

I’m not as fast.  But I managed to catch up and get her sweet smiles + yummy freckles.

It always cracks me up when babies get kissed by their big sister or brother.  It’s more like a choke hold!

Baxter followed us around everywhere.  Chased some deer.  Then sat around and made sure everyone was OK.  :-D

This is why I adore Montana.  Wade took a quick spin on his combine in between photos.  After all, it’s a super busy time for wheat farmers!

Thank you Wade for workin’ the farm AND workin’ it for the photo shoot.  That’s a REAL man right there, folks.

Emma was VERY proud of her dad’s wheat.

Emma MADE sure we also took plenty of photos in her pink bedroom.  And with her precious “Lamby.”

What a sweet lil’ soul.  She loves wrapping up her stuffed animal babies.  :-D

Ava’s room was equally as girly + plain’ old SWEET!  And Ava couldn’t be any cuter.  That tummy…

bitz-blog-1-of-4

Those chubby legs.  She’ll be running around like her big sister before we know it!

And that double chin!  What a scrumptious baby.

Thank you for having me out to the farm + filling up my belly with down home cooking!

Loni + Josh: wedding

July 7, 2010

AHHHHH!  I will be posting favorite photos from this wedding forever.

LOOOOVED EVERYTHING about this amazing day: the bride, the groom, their family + friends, unique details, live music, food + wine galore, dogs with yellow scarves, hay bales in the shape of wedding bells!  Could it have been any more beautiful or whimsical?  Yes.  There was a lemonade stand in the back of a vintage Chevy.  There was a canoe in the pond overflowing with flowers.  There were antique salt + pepper shakers on each table.  400 guests, yet an intimate feel.  I can’t stop thinking about this wedding and all of the love that went into it.  I adore Loni + Josh…and their furry child Finn who tried his hardest to be in every single photo!

Finn was like “Where’s Waldo?” the whole wedding day.

And you know we had to do a *day after* shoot!  The location was PERFECT: an old theater that her parents used to own.  THE BOMB.

And it’s become my most overused phrase, but I PROMISE: more photos are on the way!  ;-)
