Petals & Pops | Helena, MT Commercial Product Photographer

I love having relationships with people that benefit everyone involved. I recently met a very talented mom at the Farmers Market. She makes these adorable (and brilliant!) hair clips and headbands for girls. I started chatting and (long story short) we decided to make a trade! It's working out especially well for me since I lost all my baby girl headband/flower props when I moved... So she gets some fun images of her hair flowers in use on some super cute models to display at her table at the farmer's market, and I get some headbands to start my collection again! (And some free advertising, which is priceless!)

Did I mention that having a new friend in a new town is also priceless?! Thank you again for the trade, Jenny! I'm loving it! (...and next we need to get some pictures of those YUMMY and beautiful cake pops!)

Hot Mama Handbags | Helena Bozeman Montana Product Commercial Photographer

I love surrounding myself with creative people. I also love surrounding myself with people who have followed their dreams and made their lives exactly what they want them to be. My friend, Maranda Lee is one of those people. We started our creative journeys at about the same time shortly after our youngest kids were born (my baby girl and her baby boy were born three days apart!) and have just blossomed into something we never imagined was possible.

Maranda is the brains and magic (she does it all, from design to sewing to marketing and sales...) behind maranda lee - the original Hot Mama Handbags. She started making bags that were functional and fun for new moms, but it's become so much more than that. All sorts of different bags and accessories, fun, flirty skirts for mom, sun hats for the kiddos... Every time I turn around, she's got something new and awesome.

So glad to be a part of your journey, Maranda!
