Miss Mila Jo | Newborn

Sweet girl I really loved cuddling you!! I LOVE newborn sessions and I always wish there was more time so I could just sit and cuddle these precious little bundles that come to see me. Miss Mila Jo did SO great for me and I have to thank Mommy and Daddy for being so wonderful and letting me be a part of their excitement. I can't even tell you how great this little babe is at smiling too!! I see photos from Mommy all the time on Facebook and she is just happy as can be!

The Madison Ranch | Easter Part THREE

No Easter should come without an egg hunt on the farm, a horse pulled wagon ride out to the prairie and an Easter basket hunt ON the prairie!!

You can call me cowgirl Kari... HA! I just want to live here. My first purchase would be a horse that I would ride EVERY.SINGLE.DAY. If it wasn't for my allergies and asthma I think we would live on a farm. I still LOVE being there and I take my dose of clairitin-d and my inhaler... {yes, I am one of those people} I don't think my girls would have any issues living there either except for inheriting my allergies? They are getting tested this Thursday... wish us luck!

This is Grandma's side of the family. I just adore each and every one of these people too! AND we have so many fun cousins to play with on this side too. My girls have been asking to play with them all the time since we left and it makes me so sad that we are 6/8 hours away!!! 

Uncle Milt and Aunt Clarice are just the best hosts and Milt is really into his awesome new wagon. Like the REAL kind of wagon. The one where you are pulled by horses. I LOVE it!! These people are real cowboys and the best kind too.

I can't express how much I love my husband's family. It's a lot.

For the first time in like FIVE years we got to see our cousins who live in Texas! They brought the sweetest little bundle with them and we had a party to celebrate her! It is SO MUCH FUN to see all of our family and the girls have sooo many cousins to play with that there was never a dull moment. Especially when they all got to swim together too!! These kids are just a blast and this is only Grandpa's side of the family!! I have to thank our cousins and Aunts and Uncles for putting this little party together because its so great getting everyone together :}

Homemade Dye and Stained Hands | Easter Part ONE

Our day started off right with a trip to the walk-in for me and Anna. I came out with just a sinus infection and my super brave girl had a chest x-ray and had pneumonia. Then we had a 7 hour drive back to my hubby's home town of Sidney, Montana to see LOTS of family. We were all very happy to get there and cuddle a little bit with grandma and grandpa before going to bed.

Dying eggs was one of my favorite things to do around Easter as a kid and I am pretty sure my girls liked it too... we came out alright with just a few stained fingers. It is always so much fun to be back with Grandma and Grandpa.

Jerad & Katelyn | In Love and Engaged!

I had so.much.fun. with these two! We were downtown and joked about some of the crazy things you see while walking around and of course had some old man yell at us for taking a photo by some building in an alley... I probably wouldn't have stopped, but he seemed a little {a lot} crazy so we ventured out on our merry little way. I'm pretty sure Jerad was MORE than happy that I asked them to kiss a few times and I don't think Katelyn minded much. I think they like each other or something ;}

Thanks for the fun you two... I can't wait for November!!!

Adam. | 9 Months

Blue eyes, red hair and such a SWEET personality!! I loved his toothy little grin too!! He is a little ham and a little bit of a dare devil on the white chair we used... all he wanted to do was stand up and bounce around! Mom was right there though so I wasn't too worried ;} 

I can't wait to see you again Mr. Adam. You are one cool dude.

Tom & Becky | Engaged

I don't know if I have laughed this hard while photographing before!! I could sit and BS with these two all day ;} They are SO funny!! 

I can't even describe the awesome relationship these two have. You can totally tell the love Tom has for his beautiful wife-to-be and how much Becky loves him back. They were made for each other. Seriously. I can not WAIT for their wedding... 

I really have to thank these two for letting me be a part of their sweet and fun love life. 

PS I have the BEST job in the world.
