Fittingly, as I write this post, it's pouring rain and storming in Missoula. Montana has had a very wet summer, which Kelly, Dustin and I also experienced firsthand during their East Glacier elopement at Lake Josephine. (Though I can't say I'm complaining - this means we've also had little-to-no wildfires and their subsequent smoke to deal with, so I'm all for some soggy weather that's devoid of lightning strikes.) As soon as we met up at the trailhead the rain began, but they weren't going to let a few (or many) raindrops deter them. So we started out on our hike armed with rain jackets, umbrellas, bear spray and lots of smiles. Soon ...
Melisa + Zack :: Dutton Montana Farm Rock the Dress Portraits
It's no secret that I seriously have a soft spot in my heart for rock the dress sessions because these sessions tend to allow us to get a little more creative with what we can do outside of the wedding day. And when rock the dress sessions include horses, chickens, and dogs (not to mention an awesome bride and groom), then, oh yes, sign me up for the fun! Melisa and Zack's Dutton Montana farm rock the dress portraits were the absolute epitome of aforementioned fun, and I'm pretty certain I did not stop smiling for one second of our time as we made these images together. We met up again on their farm the day after their wedding, and just ...
Melisa + Zack :: Dutton Montana Farm Wedding
I was so excited to see Melisa and Zack again for their Dutton Montana farm wedding since we'd had such a great time making their engagement photos there just about a year prior. Melisa was beaming as she got ready for the day, and Zack was eager to see his bride for their first look. As they both caught a glimpse of each other for the first time, their happiness and grins were so sweet to witness. Not to be outdone, Gyspy (one of their dogs) decided to join in on the fun, too! It wasn't long before it was time for the ceremony to start. The sun was shining brightly in the sky, puffy clouds breaking up the uninterrupted blue, birds flitted ...
Brayden :: Lolo Montana Newborn Images
I recently photographed Becka and Stephan's maternity photos, so I was beyond excited to get to meet little mister Brayden to make his Lolo Montana newborn images - and he did fabulously during his session at only 13 days new! He did a most excellent job of demonstrating his eating, snuggling, yelling and finger-grabbing abilities and had us all enraptured with his sweet little face and adorable tiny fingers and toes. Even Daisy the family dog got to pop in for a few images too - I think Brayden is a dog-whisperer at heart! One of the most amazing things about newborn sessions is getting to watch my past couples turn into parents ...
Katie, Mike + Ruth :: Missoula Spring Family Portraits
One of the best parts about being a photographer is the connections I get to make with people over the years. I've been working with Katie and Mike since 2011, believe it or not! We've had a blast making engagement photos, creating images during their wedding day, getting adventurous during their rock the dress session, documenting Katie's pregnancy with Ruthie, and now, capturing Missoula spring family portraits for the three of them! What a huge honor to get to do this for them! Ruthie, who is just a bundle of energy and excitement at 20-months, loved getting tickles from her parents, checking out the nearby wa-wa (a creek that we ...
Frankie + Matt :: Intimate Springtime Missoula Courthouse Wedding
Frankie and Matt's intimate springtime Missoula Courthouse wedding was the epitome of beautiful simplicity, and chock-full of joy, happiness and love. When Frankie first got in touch with me about photographing their wedding, she told me that she's originally from Missoula and grew up on a 21-acre apple farm. The farm has since been developed, but apple trees and the Rattlesnake area of Missoula in particular, are still incredibly important to her. So it was absolutely fitting that she and Matt decided to have their first look beside a blossoming apple tree in the Rattlesnake. And it really couldn't have been more magical. They were ...
Kelly + Harmen :: Intimate Wedding in Ronan Montana
Kelly and Harmen's intimate wedding in Ronan Montana was an absolutely splendid day for these two to celebrate their nuptials with family and friends. The blue sky framed the Mission Mountains perfectly, fluffy white clouds dotted the horizon, and everyone was ready to celebrate Kelly and Harmen vowing their love to one another. To get things started, folks meandered down the pathway behind the Air BnB Kelly and Harmen had rented for the weekend, and stood together as the two smiled at one another while their creekside ceremony began. As Kelly and Harmen spoke their vows to one another, there were definitely a few tears, lots of ...
Carrie + Dugan :: Fort Missoula Vow Celebration
Carrie and Dugan got married on a whim about two years ago at the courthouse, but they have always wanted to celebrate their vows and marriage with their closest friends and family, so their Fort Missoula vow celebration was a perfect way to bring everyone together to share in the joy and happiness of their marriage, and exchange their vows in front of their loved ones in a meaningful way. And their day couldn't have been more beautiful or more perfectly them! It was warm and sunny and everyone got to enjoy the surrounding mountains as a backdrop to Carrie and Dugan's vows. Before they exchanged their rings, the rings were passed around to ...
Kaitlin :: University of Montana Graduation Celebration Images
If there's one thing I'm a sucker for it's someone who will have just as much fun laughing as I do. Enter Kaitlin! She contacted me a while ago about photographing her for her University of Montana graduation celebration images to document this time in her life after having successfully completed her studies. And as soon as I met her (and her lovely mom) I knew we'd have a total blast making images together. Not only does she clearly exemplify the French phrase joie de vivre, she was gung ho to do anything I suggested and make the absolute most of the beautiful day we had been treated to on campus. As we wandered around the University, ...
Becka + Stephan :: Missoula Montana Springtime Maternity Photos
I just love getting to work with Becka and Stephan - we've made family portraits together, and I've documented their wedding and their rock the dress session - so when Becka contacted me to tell me that she was pregnant and wanted me to make some Missoula Montana springtime maternity photos to celebrate this happy occasion for their family, I was just SO excited! These two are always so much fun to photograph, and I feel so fortunate to be able to document so many amazing things in their lives. Thankfully the weather held out for us (though we did get sprinkled on a bit because, you know, that's just par for the course in Missoula in the ...
