Happy 40th Anniversary Fred & Becky | Gillette, Wyoming Photographer

This couple is about to celebrate their 40th Anniversary and I just have to give them a big round of applause! Becky and Fred were so much fun to work with; they smiled and laughed and were themselves! It was a relaxed session with a couple who knows how to have fun!

Newborn, Joshua, 5 Days Old | Gillette, Wyoming Photographer

This precious little boy, Joshua, is the one I got to document coming into this world. At 5 days old we took his newborn pictures. (Between 5-10 days is the best time for newborn pictures.) He was just so precious and extremely easy to work with. He stayed asleep through the 2 hour session, which enabled us to get some great shots! Mama and Daddy have such great love for their little boy. Their emotion shines in the portraits.

The birth of Joshua was an emotional one. I got tears in my eyes as I watched that little one come into the world. It's just so amazing! There's nothing like giving birth.

Ashley started out the day by being induced. Dilation produced quickly. She was at a 4.5 and I walked out of the room for 5-10 minutes and when I came back she was at a 9!

This couple worked so well together. She was a champ when it came to pushing and her coach, Bobby, was great at cheering her on. It wasn't long and we all got to see the beautiful little boy, Joshua, being born.

It was such a great honor for me to be invited as Ashley's birth photographer for this very special event in their life. Thank you, Ashley and Bobby, for allowing me to share the birth of Joshua.

Here are a few photos, but watch the video for the whole story.

Newborn Jhett, 3 Weeks Old / Gillette, Wyoming Photographer

All it took was a little patience and time and we ended up with an amazing newborn session for little Jhett. His mama just held him towards the end and in conclusion we came up with some unique shots of little Jhett.

The Carter Family

The Carter family and I spent the day in beautiful Spearfish Canyon and then rode on into Rapid City to the Art Alley. We were worried about rain that day, but thankfully God blessed the day with no rain and by the time we ended the sun had popped out and it was a beautiful day. If you have not been to Spearfish Canyon you must go. The colors are just gorgeous as fall has added its special touch. So we had the beautiful fall colors and a beautiful family as you will see.
