On a cool, windy January day, Alyssa and Colby made the three hour drive to me for maternity photos, hauling a trailer full of horses right along with them. That kind of effort always means a lot to me. When someone is willing to travel that far and trust me with something this special, I want to make sure every part of the experience feels worth it.
That morning, David and I drove south of town with our OnX app pulled up, just slowly cruising backroads until something caught my eye. We came over a hill and I spotted this old load out chute and instantly knew it was the place. One quick call to a local cattle producer and we were good to go.
When they arrived, we spent the next hour and a half capturing this season of life they’re in, waiting on their baby to arrive. Alyssa started in a dress and then switched into a denim outfit and I could immediately tell she felt more like herself. We also bonded over our mutual dislike of dresses, which made it even better.
They both absolutely nailed it. Alyssa had told me she just wanted their photos to “feel like us,” and without even knowing them all that well yet, I knew this was exactly what she meant. Easy, honest, and so true to who they are. These are the kinds of sessions that remind me why I love what I do so much ♥️
