Kristan, Ben, Lincoln + Cormac :: Missoula summer family photos at the University of Montana

I am always so happy when I hear from Kristan, Ben, Lincoln, and Cormac that they’re back in town visiting, and that we get to make more Missoula summer family photos at the University of Montana for them! I’ve been photographing their family for several years now, and it is always an absolute delight to get to hang out with them, laugh together, and document their wonderful family!

This year we decided to hike up the “M” trail a bit, explore the grasses, and have a blast laughing our heads off as we yelled Lincoln’s favorite funny words. (I’ll let you guess what a five-year-old boy might choose. 😉)

We ventured back down to check out the peonies that were in full, splendid bloom, made ur way onto campus to cool off a bit, and enjoyed some time wandering around, racing each other, exploring cool bike racks that were perfect for 22-month-old Cormac to crawl through, and of course, the check out the wonders of steps and railings around the various buildings.

Cormac was particularly interested in investigating pine cones, Lincoln loved climbing the various rocks and other structures, and both boys are total pro speed racers!

We topped off our session with a visit to the grizzly statue on the Oval. Cormac was intent on holding its paw, while Lincoln performed a drum session for us on the bear’s thighs. Everyone joined in for a good family “roar” together, (again, Lincoln and Cormac are total roaring pros), and that was a wrap on another absolutely wonderful session with their family.

Kristan, Ben, Lincoln, and Cormac! Thank you for being your wonderful selves, for your curiosity and joy, and for always sharing the biggest and best laughs with me! Yay for you all!
