Dumas Family ~ Bozeman, MT Family Photographer

I just can't ever say enough how much I love doing what I do. It's always different, always challenging, and always beautiful.

Often times when people learn I'm a photographer, they'll ask what I photograph. I tell them mainly kids, often families, and sometimes dogs. They usually ask why I would want to spend so much time photographing kids and dogs when I could just take pretty pictures of the scenery or stuff around me. Wouldn't that be so much easier? And the answer is because I don't feel the same kind of connection to the scenery around me as I do with people. I love to capture the connection between my subjects and allow those split second moments to live on forever. The mountains will always be there when I look out my window. They'll always be pretty. But this, this love at this moment, this connection in this place in time, would be gone if it weren't for me doing what I love to do.

I love that I can allow this moment to live on forever.
