The other day, I had the pleasure of meeting up with Kim and Randy in Stevensville, Montana, to trek around Randy's family's ranch and make some engagement photos of Kim, Randy and their horses, P, Q and Dinero. We had so much fun despite the deceptively chilly weather (yet no snow!). And I swear, these two are so perfect for one another - they goofed around with each other, showed off some sweet dance moves, made me (and themselves) laugh a lot!, and just plain had a good time. Not only were they radiant in their photos just on their own, but holy moly - our backdrop for the day wasn't too shabby either (oh Bitterroot valley, you make ...

Visitors from the North – {Snowy Owls in Montana}
This is a bit of a departure from what I normally post....not a portrait session (of people anyway), and much too long for a Wordless Wednesday post......but I really want to share these images with you because, quite simply: Owls Are Cool. Especially snowy owls. And especially since they've been hanging out with us here in Montana. Snowy owls don't usually spend all that much time in our area, so it's pretty rare to see them. They'll hop on down here every 5 or 6 years or so, and when they do...oh my gosh...go and see them! Admittedly, I may be slightly biased because I kind of LOVE birds (ok, I WHOLEHEARTEDLY love birds), but ...
Kisses Amidst the Softly Falling Snow – {Dalton and Eleisha’s Missoula Engagement Session}
Missoula sure hasn't gotten much of a winter this year (minus that one monster dump of snow), but Dalton, Eleisha and I lucked out the other day during their engagement session as we marveled at the beauty of the fat, falling snowflakes. Seriously - we are so lucky to live in such a stunning place. And Dalton and Eleisha wanted to take advantage of our natural surroundings for their very sweet engagement session. Thank you so much for tromping around in the snow with me, you two! So much fun - made even more so by how happy you are together! I can't wait to photograph your wedding this summer! Happy Valentine's Day! On the docket, ...
Stockings, Lace and Garters – {Gini’s Missoula Boudoir Session}
There is something so wonderful about being able to capture a woman's beauty, and have her see it for herself and really be wowed. I feel so honored when I'm asked to photograph boudoir sessions - they're intimate and gorgeous and fun, and also so very empowering. Oftentimes, we as women, can be so picky about our bodies and how we look, that we forget to really, truly look at ourselves - the beauty of our bodies and our personalities combined (myself included!). I was so excited when Gini called me about photographing a boudoir session for her - she wanted to do it to celebrate herself, give herself a birthday present, and teach her ...
