I simply adore being able to meet the newest additions to my couples' families. To have the opportunity to photograph their new family together is such a treat and such an honor, and I got to do just that with Kim, Randy and their 9-month-old daughter Reata. It's hard to believe that not too long ago we were making engagement photos and wedding photos. Crazy how time flies! It was a bit of a chilly afternoon for our shoot, but the sun was on our side and kept us warm as we ventured from spot to spot. And Reata - what a little cutie pie! She was great, and had a blast "driving" Randy's truck from location to location as well. There is so ...

A Walk through the Woods – {The Means Family’s Missoula Photo Session}
I got together with the Means family a few days ago to make some photos of the four of them together, and of just Kira and Logan as well. I'm always so happy when families make the time to do this because it's true - we all get busy with our lives and before we know it, one kid is on one side of the country, and another kid is off on an adventure abroad and poof! It becomes challenging to get everyone together in the same place at the same time. We ended up getting to shoot on a quintessentially gorgeous Montana morning - there was a light dusting of snow on the trees and the temps were low, but not so low that we were freezing cold. And, ...
Woodsy Beauty – {Lacey’s Missoula Model Session}
Lacey and I met up the other day for her model session, all the while crossing our fingers the skies didn't open and start pouring on us. It was definitely chilly, but the weather cooperated and didn't saddle us with any raindrops. Lacey was great to work with, and I was excited that we also had wind to play with. That was certainly cold, but oh-so-worth-it. Thanks Lacey! Looking forward to working with you again in the future. :) On the docket: portraits! Cheers, -Kristine ...
Perfect Autumn Days – {Raina and Danny’s Missoula Engagement Session}
This year Missoula has experienced an exceptionally beautiful autumn - and luckily Raina, Danny and I got to take advantage of all the beautiful colors before the wind swept the leaves off the trees a few days later. We walked around downtown, laughing and chatting, and laughing some more. Giggling, they told me the story of how they met when Raina swiped one of Danny's chicken strips - the rest is history. :) These two are just so utterly in love, and I can tell we're going to have an absolute blast at their wedding next year. Here's to you two, Raina and Danny! And many, many chicken strips to share. ;) On the ...
Colorful Leaves and Starry Montana Skies – {Annie and Josh’s Darby, Montana Engagement Session}
When Annie and I first started talking about me being the photographer for her and Josh's wedding, it was SO great to find out that she's from Wisconsin - because, though I was born in Montana and have spent nearly half my life here, I grew up in Wisconsin and have a special fondness for it in my heart. And fellow Wisconsin people are just kind of awesome. Doncha know. (Sorry - couldn't resist.) I met up with her and Josh at the bed and breakfast they are caretakers of in Darby (such a sweet place!), and Montana was pulling out all the stops for us - blue skies, colorful autumn leaves, golden light....I could go on and on. After ...
