Kristine Paulsen Photography – Lifestyle Portraits, Editorial and Wedding Photography in Missoula Montana

Can you believe that 2011 is a matter of hours away? I can’t really wrap my mind around it – 2010 flew by in a flurry of wonderful experiences, including so many memorable photo sessions and weddings. I wouldn’t be as happy with life and my work if it weren’t for all of my fantastic clients (seriously, you all are WONDERFUL), business friends and supporters of my work. I’m always so grateful and humbled that you choose me to document the moments in your lives – it means more to me than you may know.

To celebrate the awesomeness that is YOU, I put together a collage of some of my favorite images from 2010 – can you find yourself or friends?

Happy, happy New Year!

On the docket: engagements and senior sessions!

Cheers!

A love to shout from mountaintops!

And snow it did! It was an absolutely perfect day for a photo adventure. Emily and I had a blast frolicking amongst the flakes for her Missoula “just because” photo session and she even made a snow angel – talk about fun!

Thank you so much, Emily, for being a delight to work with! Let’s do this again soon!

On the docket: a Christmas-time wedding and engagement sessions!

Cheers!

I had such a fabulous time the past several days volunteering my photography for YWCA’s Secret Seconds 2011 Recessionista campaign. The models totally rocked their shoots as well as the Secret Seconds clothing they were showcasing, we all had a blast and made some great images to help promote an extremely worthy cause. You can grab some affordable styles and make a difference, too – all sales at YWCA Secret Seconds help women and children in crisis, including the YWCA’s domestic violence shelter.

Thanks ladies! I’m looking forward to doing this again!

Cheers!

I just wanted to quickly share some photos of another album I designed from the same company that bound these albums I blogged about a while back. This is a lovely 9×9 in leather with a window cutout on the front cover. (Featuring the gorgeous wedding of Jen and Kyle.) The little albums alongside the larger ones are mini copies of the leather-bound album, and boast three different types of silk covers. (All so beautiful and so cute!) As always, these albums are custom-designed by me, and hand made to last a lifetime – an investment absolutely worthy of showcasing your most important memories. If you’re interested in learning how you can have one of these albums, always feel free to be in touch!

Cheers!

I zipped out to LA for a few days to take part in a small photo conference and in between work, took a few photos. (Twist my arm, right?) I swung by Venice Beach, the Santa Monica Pier, and hopped on over to Palm Canyon and Joshua Tree National Park. California treated me well. I left with wonderful business connections, a stockpile of new freckles, and some fun images. These are a few of my favorites – enjoy!

On the docket: fashion shoots!

Cheers,
