The Bird Family {Miles City, MT Photographer}

by Whitney Bird in ,


I finally feel like I am getting caught up on editing, but that feeling won't last long considering I have my sister-in-law's wedding to shoot Saturday, and have a number of shoots including mini sessions coming up the following week!  I love being busy with photography, and the weather has been cooperating perfectly for fall photos so I will continue to squeeze in as many shoots as possible before the weather turns cold. 

Before the wedding craziness really starts, I wanted to share this family session shot in Miles City.  You may remember Tess from her senior shoot. (Click here to view Tessa's senior shoot)  However, she really wanted to do a few in town, and her mom really wanted to have some family photos taken as well.      You can see where Tess and Ash get their good looks from-what a beautiful family.  I have really enjoyed getting to know the Birds and feel very lucky to be able to call them family.  (My hubby is  Jim and Linda's nephew)  





Jim was a good sport even though I am not sure he knew exactly what he had gotten himself into that day.  





I will be taking most of tomorrow and Friday off in preparation for the wedding.  My parents as well as my sister will be here friday, and wedding festivities begin out at the Bird ranch tomorrow afternoon!  I am so excited to spend time with everyone, and so excited to photograph it all!


Kalli- A few more senior photos

Last week I shot a few more senior photos for Kalli.  To view her earlier seniors click here.  It was really important to her that we take some spots portraits which only makes sense considering she lives for sports.  :)  



 This one below is my fave out of both shoots!



Bown Eyed Girl-Tessa

Tess is my husband's cousin which now makes her my cousin. (the fact that I tripled my family members a few months ago still blows my mind)  We shot these out at my new family's ranch, and I couldn't be happier with the locations.  I shoot out at ranches and farms a lot, and I am always so thrilled with what you can find.  Ranches make some of the most naturally beautiful backgrounds and the Bird ranch is no exception.  Combine that with a beautiful girl with stunning eyes, flawless skin, and a perfect smile, and it is pretty much impossible to not end up with good photos.  Plus, the shoot itself was a blast.  Tess is very easy to be around, and her mom was a big help in the hair/clothing malfunction area.  We probably could have spent another 2 hours taking photos had we not lost the sun.  

I am doing a few more photos of Tess next week, and we are also doing some photos of her family as well so you have not seen the last of her which makes me very happy :)  
I had a really tough time choosing a favorite so I chose two-they are the first two photos.  I love her soft smile in the first one and I love the pose and old truck in the second.  Plus, I'm crazy about the light in both of them.
