Movin on up!

I'm happy to announce that I HAVE A NEW BLOG!...again...not that I don't like this one, but I wanted one that has a little more POW to it :) I hope you all enjoy the new one as much as I do! The new blog can be seen at calisparingphotography.com/blog. I've imported all my posts from this blog to the new one, so don't worry! You'll be able to view all of these on the new one too. All new posts will have bigger pictures for your viewing pleasure, and I have made a goal for myself to blog more...so check the new blog often to see my progress! This blog will always be here (unless some cyber monster comes and eats it), so you can always come back and reminisce. For now...BYE BYE old blog...HELLO new shiny blog!

Baby Levi & Momma Carly

Say Hello to Carly and Levi! Aren't they ADORABLE?! Carly's husband, Mat, was one of my husband Kurt's roommates in College. Does that makes sense? :) Anyway, Carly and Mat welcomed their first baby, Levi, on December 8, 2009. What a handsome little guy! They are very blessed and I am so happy for them! Thanks for letting me photograph you guys. It was so great to see you, and hopefully we can do this again soon!

The McDonald Family : Mostly Finn

Meet the McDonald family. Jackee, Finn, and Terry. Aren't they ADORABLE?! I've known Jackee for what seems like forever. We used to work at Montana State University together...actually she was my boss, but a really fun one :) Her and her husband moved to Portland a while back, and while they were there baby Finn was born. They recently moved back to Montana, and I couldn't wait to meet the little guy (who was not so little anymore), and, of course, take their pictures. We met up on a cold, but beautifully sunny Sunday afternoon, and headed out on our adventure. Finn was so funny in front of the camera. At first he was somewhat reserved, but mostly really cold. Then we headed to Beall Park where there was more sunshine, and of course toys and other kids. It was like night and day...he was an instant model! I had so much fun capturing this little guy, and his loving parents. Thanks McDonald Family!


This is their dog...Mazi (I might be spelling that wrong)...she was a cutie and loved the snow!

: Baby Natalie :

How cute is this little girl?! And how beautiful is her momma?! Meet Natalie...she is the daughter of my dear friend Nicole. Nicole and I go way back, so I was so excited when she originally told me she was pregnant. I also did some maternity pictures of Nicole when she was about 8 months, and I was so ecstatic when she asked me to do some pictures of Natalie now that she has arrived. We had so much fun during this shoot. Natalie was a perfect little model, and full of the most hilarious facial expressions! Thank you so much Nicole for letting me capture you little girl! Enjoy!


This was too funny...every time Nicole gave Natalie a kiss, Natalie would just open her mouth and try to suck on her mom's face!






This one cracks me up! Look at that face!

Kodie & Justin : Winter Wedding

What a beautiful Montana winter wedding! Kodie and Justin were married December 19, 2009 at Chico. They are so in love, and I had a blast capturing their special day for them!
