John, Paul, George, and Ringo. . .

Well, 4 men who look and sound very much like John, Paul, George, and Ringo! If you get the chance to go see these gentlemen in Branson, take it! If you don't think you have a chance, makes some time and do it anyway! They really are fabulous! They are the Liverpool Legends, and they put on a fabulous show at the Starlite Theater.

Here are a few shots from my visit- -

Oh, Baby. . .

or I guess I should say "Oh, Mama". What a beautiful mom to be was at the studio tonight. Do expectant moms really glow? Well, this one sure does. She is beautiful inside and out, and already a wonderful mom. This will be baby 2, and he will join a wonderful family waiting for his arrival!

Thanks, Ashley, for letting me be a part of this special time!

And the greatest of these is Love. . .

Kathy and Ralph wanted some photos for their 40th anniversary. 40 years, and they still very obviously adore each other. They definitely have that something that rest of us hope to have with our spouse--I don't know if it's pure love, respect, wonder, harmony, or a combination of all those things and more, but Ralph and Kathy have "it"!

RETRO!

Oh, my gosh, what fun this was! Two of my favorite young models came to the studio. Dylan wanted some shots with his retro shirt, and Brooke wanted to model for me. I love these two!!! Here are a few from the session:

Wow, time sure does get away from us. . .

I will find more time to blog, I will find more time to blog, I will . . . .

It's been a while since I blogged--senior and prom season has really kept me busy! I'll try to play some catch up--here are a few of my favorite from the last couple months.

This is Allison. I was lucky enough to take a few pictures of some fabulously good looking Billings ladies and gentlemen before their prom. They all looked stunning!

And here is another favorite. This was a really fun shoot (even though Kate, Sterling, and I got thrown off church property!) :-)

Cassie came to the studio--and what a beauty she is, too!

And in case you think I'm just shooting beautiful girls, here are some good looking boys, too!

Brandon was such a great sport--he had several women in the studio with him, and he didn't even get mad at all the "bossing" we gave him!

Josh is a member of our basketball team at Clever. He contributed mightily to our winning record and third place state finish.

That's going to be all for now, but I'll post some more of my favorites soon. :-)

A busy weekend at the studio. . .

Miss Ella came over for some pictures. What a sweetie she is! Just a joy to be around. She thought we were all a little crazy making funny faces and funny noises just to get her to smile, but she was a great little model!

Lindsey came for her senior pictures. Such a natural beauty! We got this shot by the window right before the clouds rolled in and the wind started to blow. Thanks for choosing Backroads by Denise for your senior photos, Lindsey!

Peyton Grace. . .

A beautiful name for a beautiful baby! Miss Peyton came to the studio for some portraits, and she was such little bundle of pure baby joy. It's hard work being a model, and Peyton sometimes found it difficult to keep her eyes open! In between catnaps, we managed to get some really good shots. Peyton, you are absolutely beautiful!!

My Tennessee Fan

Getting my own child in front of the camera can sometimes be challenging! I try to sneak in some pictures every once in a while, and every so often I end up with something I really like. Just thought I'd share!

Family Time

Danny, Lori, and Katie visited the studio last weekend for some family portraits. They are a beautiful family, and so much fun!!!! Their new puppies joined us for some of the shots. Thanks, guys!

Beautiful Olivia

Wow, is there anything more beautiful than a precious little baby? Olivia visited the Backroads studio for her very first portrait session. Isn't she pretty in pink???

Precious, X2!

Meet Trenton and Carter! I got the fabulous opportunity of taking portraits of these wonderful bundles of joy. Such sweet babies! A big thank you to your mom and dad for choosing Backroads Photography by Denise for your first portraits!

Wildcat Homecoming

Young men playing great basketball, young ladies looking beautiful, and spectators enjoying every minute--it must be homecoming time. The Wildcats hosted the Clever Bluejays, and both teams played their hearts out! What fun it was to be a part of the festivities.
AND, I won the senior basket with tons of cool Billings Wildcats merchandise--sweet!

First of all, our beautiful Homecoming Queen, Kelse. Miss Kelse, you looked fabulous! Congratulations, girlfriend! She was escorted by the very handsome Dakota.

Here are a few of the photo ops from the evening. The rest can be seen at http://www.backroadsphotography-denise.com. They are in the private galleries. The gallery is Billings Homecoming, and the password is basketball.

Billings Girls Basketball

Hey, Ladies, I enjoyed watching you play Monday night. You fought hard! Here are a few of the shots--the rest can be seen on the website. You know the gallery and password! :-)

Megan---this had to hurt!!

Of course, that led to this!

Allison got her free throws, too!

I miss you, girls! Hope you have a wonderful season!
