I met up with Molly and Andy a while back to do a super mini engagement session with them – it was short and sweet – just what they wanted – and their cat, Melvin, even got to share the spotlight. :)

Can’t wait for your wedding this summer, you two!

On the docket: portraits!

Maggie and Tyler – I swear – their smiles could rival the brightness of the sun! We had such a fun time during their Missoula engagement session, and even managed to luck out with the weather, getting a bit of sun for our little walkabout. (I think they brought it with them from California!)

These two are so clearly meant to be with one another. They’re a lot like puzzle pieces – fitting together perfectly, but unique in their own right, too.

Maggie and Tyler, I’m so glad you were able to make it back to Montana for our session – thank you so much for all the smiles and laughter! I’m not sure summer can get here soon enough since I know your wedding is going to be such a happy celebration, and I can’t wait to document it!

On the docket: engagement sessions and some rad portraits! Stay posted!

Cheers,

It was so great to finally meet Sara and Ryan the other day for their sweet little Missoula engagement session. We’d been in touch through the various long-distance means: mainly phone and e-mail, so it was wonderful to meet these two in person. And it’s so clear how in love they are with one another and what a perfect pair they make.

Their engagement session was short and sweet and we even managed to catch a little sun towards the end, too!

Thank you again, Sara and Ryan, for taking the time out of your busy schedules whilst in Montana to make some fun images of the two of you – I’m looking forward to making more on your wedding day! :)

On the docket: a newborn baby session, engagement sessions and portraits galore! Stay tuned!

Cheers,

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 me swoon). Thank you SO much, Kim and Randy, for inviting me out to your place to make these images. I seriously cannot WAIT for your wedding – we’re going to have a blast!

On the docket: engagement sessions!

Cheers!

I had the pleasure of meeting up with Ciche and Haley the other day for their fun Missoula engagement session – a few raindrops included! (Thanks, you two, for braving the rain!)

We had a nice little walkabout, and these two are so sweet together – laughing and joking and lots of smiles despite how wet and cold conditions were outside.

Thank you again, Ciche and Haley, for having me photograph your engagement session! And congratulations again on your upcoming nuptials!

On the docket: engagement sessions!

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, engagement sessions!

Cheers,

Maddy and Colin are such a delightful couple, and we had a great time making some super fun images during their wintry Missoula engagement session. Maddy is a big time coffee fan, so we stopped off to grab a few cups before embarking on our walkabout around the University of Montana where they both met. Maddy and Colin are so meant for each other – the way they look at one another, the way their eyes sparkle (yep, Colin, your eyes did sparkle!), and most importantly, how they make each other laugh – even when in the midst of a snowball fight.

Thank you so much, you two, for taking time out of your day to have some fun in the snow with me! I had a blast and seriously can’t wait until your wedding – it’s going to be an amazing day!

On the docket: more engagement sessions!

Cheers,

It was so nice to meet up with Marcus and Annie the other day to take advantage of this beautiful autumn weather and vibrant colors, and make some sweet images of the two of them for their Missoula engagement session. After days of rain, the dry spell and sun were a nice break!

Marcus and Annie have been dating for nine years, so they are quite excited to be planning their wedding for this coming June in Seeley Lake.

Thanks again, you two! It was so nice to hang out with you a bit and make some lovely photos of you both! I cannot wait to photograph your wedding this summer! :)

On the docket: portraits and more portraits! Stay posted! And remember, it’s not too late to book your fall portrait session, too! Just give me a holler and let’s get something set up. :)

Cheers,

It’s been a bit rainy in Montana as you may have noticed. (What is that glowing orb in the sky?) But the sun finally came out, the clouds parted and gave way to a beautiful blue sky and gorgeously sunny evening for George and Emily’s engagement session in Ovando, MT, at the Montana Mountain View ranch that George and Emily adore.

Their dog Billy joined us for the shoot (and kept us cracking up by barking into gopher holes!), and George and Emily’s two horses Linus and Deuce were happy to accompany us into a field of wildflowers (which they gladly ate).

It really couldn’t have been a better evening – we all had a blast – and we finished off the night with burgers and beer and a full moon to knock your socks off. (Thanks for the treat, you two! You seriously rock!)

I am so excited to photograph your wedding, George and Emily! On to the photos – enjoy!

On the docket: weddings, weddings and more weddings!

Cheers!

Cassie and Cameron joined me Saturday at the Missoula’s farmer’s market, dressed for spring and ready to stroll around checking out the local goods. Lucky for us, the rain decided to hold off and we had a great time making fun, bright images of these two – you would never know how chilly it was from Cassie and Cameron’s warm smiles and the love in their eyes.

I’m so looking forward to your wedding this June! (And the bunnies!)

On the docket: more engagement sessions!

Cheers!
