Leanna and Skyler couldn't have prescribed a more perfect day for their beautiful Bozeman, Montana wedding at Le Petit Chateau (Leanna is a pharmacist). The sun was shining, it was very warm autumn day (slightly different from their snowy engagement session!), and everyone was all smiles and full of adoration for the two as they vowed to love one another for the rest of their lives. As an alternative to a guest book, Leanna and Skyler had guests write fun messages on white boards and then have their photo taken with their message - super cute! Everyone enjoyed mingling outside in the dappled sunlight while sipping on wines and beers, and ...

Sugar and Spice and All Things Nice – {Missoula Family Portrait Session}
I met up with Dawn and Eddie and their five adorable little girls, Jasmine, Jordan, Jersey, Jillian and Julisse the other day for their beautiful family portrait session. What an enjoyable time it was! We had a great time laughing and chatting as we made their portraits, and I've got to say - these girls blew me away with how inquisitive, sweet and polite they all were. We talked a lot about my cameras and my job and I got the sweetest little kid compliment from Jersey. She said, "When we were all walking together, I looked up at my mom and said, 'This is so awesome!' And I had to tell you too - this is awwwwesome!" Thank you all SO much ...
A Model Moment – {Siene’s Missoula Model Session}
Siene and I had a blast the other day making some new images for her model comp cards which she was planning on distributing at a competition she was part of in Las Vegas. The light couldn't have been more stunning and Siene couldn't have been more gorgeous - what a fun shoot! Siene definitely knows how to have fun with the camera and we definitely had a good time during our session. (We were even jokingly told by a police officer that we had better be careful or he'd have to cite us for stopping traffic. Haha!) Siene - thanks again for working with me - you're one beautiful lady and I hope you book all sorts of fun jobs, and the the ...
The Art of Love – {Charity and Matt’s Rock Creek Montana Wedding}
From what I've been told, there is an art to love. And Charity and Matt have certainly created a masterpiece out of their true love for one another. I had the honor of photographing their jaw-droppingly gorgeous wedding at a private family residence near Rock Creek, Montana. The day was hot, not a cloud in the blue, blue sky (very different from their snowy engagement session!), and the water sparkled with the sun as Charity and Matt gussied themselves up for their unforgettable day. Their wedding married not only their hearts, but their passions in life. Matt is an artist and Charity is a chef - she made both the huckleberry lemonade ...
Class of 2012! – {Cody’s Missoula Senior Photos}
I had a great time the other day meeting up with Cody, a 2012 senior year at Loyola Sacred Heart High School, and his mom for his awesome senior photo session! We visited some of Cody's favorite childhood stomping grounds at a creek and fields near his house (where he showed me some super cool soccer moves), and then hopped on over to Missoula's downtown area. Cody is such nice young man, and is involved in soccer, cross country and really enjoys programming - he's even made some robots! He's planning on taking a year off in between high school and college to jet on over to Germany and study abroad for a year. Cody, thank you for being ...
They Fell in Love in Helena :: A Kleffner Ranch Wedding
And so they were married in Helena, too, and had their Kleffner Ranch wedding at a beautiful, historic site nestled amongst golden fields and blue sky. C & S's wedding was so sweet and so stunning, and so much love was poured into making it just perfect. A team of family and friends helped decorate, plan, cook, bake, you name it! But most importantly, they were there to offer their hearts up to S and C, as they in turn pledged their hearts and love to one another. The day couldn't have been more amazing - the sun cast down its warm rays, twinkling through the leaves of the tall trees as S and C spoke their truly incredible vows to one ...
Made for Each Other, Like Peanut Butter and Jelly – {Jean and Nick’s Montana Wedding}
Jean and Nick share a mutual love for each other, and a mutual love of peanut butter and jelly sandwiches. In fact, they got to know one another over a pb & j sandwich at a camp at which they both worked, and they made sure to incorporate all of their favorite things during their beautiful wedding day at the Double Arrow Lodge in Seeley Lake, Montana. From personalized dice for guests to a unique cake topper (made by Nick!) celebrating their fondness for the character Cthulhu from one of their favorite books, their wedding day was uniquely them. There were a few tears, lots of laughter and plenty of fun to be had. Guests enjoyed a ...
