Lamar Valley at sunset, strongly recommend. As we were heading in to the park yesterday evening, tons of people were heading out. And even though it meant driving home in the dark, it was TOTALLY worth it! We saw multiple black bears, a pack of wolves including pups, elk, deer, large herds of bison, pronghorn, sheep and 8 owls! Dusk is where it’s at y’all! We all voted and we are definitely doing sunset in Lamar Valley again while we are here!

Note to self, wear swim clothes and river shoes on our next drive through Lamar Valley. We were tempted several times to stop […]

The drive home at dusk was stunning and this sunset through the Roosevelt Arch was the perfect end to our day.

As always, there is a flip side. The daily reminders of time passing watching my toddler and teenager day to day are hard on this momma’s heart. But there is more. So, so much more.

I’ll never forget the day we told Ty that I was expecting Taryn. The smile on his face, one of the biggest I’d ever seen. ((Second only to the day we stood by a waterfall in Alabama where Jason proposed.)) I’ll never forget how he waited so intently and so well behaved while I was in a long 23+ hour labor with Taryn. He kept notes in a notebook and gathered details of […]

I usually just file the RAW files away in folders after I take photos of my family. I used to edit most of them within the same month. And then it got fewer and fewer the busier I got with work, and life, and marriage and motherhood. I’m a bit sad that I’m at a point that I’m not photographing them nearly as much as I used to. And very, very few ever receive any love and attention or get shared. But I’m ok throwing them in a folder labeled “someday when they are grown and I am bored”. It means I’m spending more time with my family, I’m loving them. But I have to photograph them. For them, for […]
