Danielson Family | Super fun Helena, Montana Family Photographer

You know those people who just seem to be doing everything *right*?  They're fun, they're good looking, they have a great sense of humor, and wonderfully behaved kids?  They get along great and don't think it's corny to hold hands with their little brother (ok, maybe a little corny, but they do it anyway) and there's just something about them that makes you want to get to know them better and spend more time together?  

That would just be the tip of the Danielson family iceberg.  I kinda didn't want the night to end - it was that great.  

For fear of getting any more corny myself, I'll just show you what I mean -- more to come after they see the rest at their ordering session at the end of the month (and by the way, that day can't come soon enough - I can't wait to dig into all of their proofs with them.  I could only narrow it down to 52 shots.  For the record, that's a record.  I usually provide 20-30 proofs for a family session.  This one takes the cake.)

Sunset | Bozeman MT Photographer

One benefit to doing my 365 project for 2011 is that I *always* have my camera with me. I used to often find myself somewhere looking at something beautiful wishing I had my camera nearby. Tonight was one of those times as I was driving home after disappearing for a while for a couple house showings. I almost forgot that I didn't have to miss it! I was able to pull over (safely) and jump out to get a couple shots of this amazing sunset.

What really gets me sometimes here in Western Montana isn't just the sunset to the West, but generally if I turn around and check out the Eastern sky it's just as amazing.

Sure enough. To the west:
