There is something just so magical about autumn - maybe it's because it feels like its beauty can be so fleeting so we must absolutely soak it up while we can. The leaves are green one day, and then suddenly there's a chill in the air, the clouds turn a dark gray, the sky seems bluer against that gray, the light turns a bit more golden and whammo! we're surrounded by a world full of brilliant oranges, golds and reds. Kelci, Michael and I definitely made the most of the truly stunning autumn Missoula was treated to this year, and though it was a wee bit on the chilly side during our shoot, they toughed it out and we all had such a great ...
Married in Montana :: {Riki and Paul’s Missoula Wedding}
From the moment Riki and I chatted on the phone about her wedding day, I knew it was going to be beautiful and full of emotion (we may or may not have teared up on the phone together - it was a very sweet moment!). And their wedding day absolutely was - everyone readied themselves inside the church, and Riki and Paul were eager to see each other for the first time. Their first look was exceptionally sweet, and included some very happy tears. Soon family and friends began to arrive, smiling and hugging as they greeted one another. As Riki walked down the aisle to her groom, Paul beamed at his beautiful bride. Throughout their ceremony ...
Married in Mad Town! :: {Anna and Alex’s Madison, Wisconsin Wedding}
I've got to admit - I was beyond giddy when Anna and Alex asked me if I'd photograph their wedding. You see, Anna and I go waaaaay back to when we were little tykes. Her older sister, Christine, and I were best friends (colloquially known as "The Christines"), so we all spent a lot of time together. We exercised our imaginations in the woods by their house, we made silly plays together (that we forced our very patient parents to watch), we turned garage attics into forts, we always tried to persuade our parents to indulge us in Grandpa's Pizza on Wednesday nights, we celebrated birthdays together, we had slumber parties and ate ...
Sunsets, Mountains and Love :: Betsy and Cameron’s Missoula Wedding at the Ranch Club
Betsy, Cameron and I have had so much fun together since the moment we met - their engagement session was a blast and I knew their Missoula wedding at the Ranch Club wouldn't be any different. They absolutely lived up to their fun-loving, sweet nature, and the moment I saw Betsy and Cameron, they were beaming, excited and ready to get married! They planned their wedding to take place a little later in the evening, so we definitely took advantage of that yummy late-evening golden hour and traipsed around the Ranch Club's grounds to soak up the sun. (And Betsy gets kudos for navigating that hillside!) Their wedding party was a great group of ...
Brilliant Autumn Days :: {Hugh’s Missoula Senior Pictures}
If you've been following my work or my blog for a while, you know that I adore color. Love it. Wholeheartedly. And when Hugh showed up for his autumn Missoula senior pictures looking seriously stylish and completely on par with all the gorgeous colors around, I got a little giddy. (I mean, his orange pants! Absolute perfection!) We had a great time walking around and making the most of all the awesome color we had to work with, and also chatted a bit too. Hugh really loves to snowboard, and has been doing so for a while. He also enjoys learning about history and thinks that after graduation he'd like to pursue either a career in welding or ...
Big Sky Sunsets and Smiles :: {Gretchen and Shawn’s Missoula Ranch Club Wedding}
Gretchen and Shawn both live in New York City, but Gretchen grew up in Missoula and knew she wanted to be married in the big sky state and honor some of her favorite Montana things on their wedding day. They couldn't have paid homage to this great place any better. From their first look that took place near her childhood home, to the Montana beers, to the band they had playing, to the sage in her bouquet, it was truly a day full of fond memories - both old and new. Montana certainly was up to the challenge as well and presented everyone with a brilliantly sunny day, not a cloud in that expanse of blue, and later transformed itself with ...
Sun, Smiles and Sweetness :: {Annie and Josh’s Trapper Peak Winery Wedding}
Time certainly flies when you're having fun, and it seriously feels like just yesterday that I was hanging out with Annie and Josh making their engagement photos amongst the autumn leaves and night sky. Fast forward a few months (ok, more than a few months!) and their wedding day had arrived! I love how personalized their wedding was to their tastes and their lifestyle. Their venue was just a hop and a skip away from the B&B they run, Annie chose to wear a custom-made antique lace dress, their food was locally-sourced, the events of the day were casual and fun and centered around friends and family, and Annie even helped make her own ...
Fun with Color :: {Alexandra’s Missoula Senior Pictures}
One of my favorite seasons is definitely autumn, so I was excited to hear that Alexandra really wanted some fall colors in her senior photos. And fall colors we received! Brilliant golds, oranges and reds really highlighted the pop of pink Alexandra was wearing and the red in her hair as well - perfection! We had such a nice time wandering and finding those color pops, enjoying the autumn scent and making some fun images that highlighted Alexandra's sparkling eyes and beautiful smile. Alexandra - thanks again for a fun session! Here's to an awesome senior year and a bright future for you! On the docket: weddings, portraits, ...
Sweetness and Sunsets :: {Sarah and Matt’s Double Arrow Resort Wedding}
If there's one word to describe Sarah and Matt's wedding it is, without a doubt, the word happy. There was just so much joy, happiness, and love during their wedding that it nearly radiated! And even though we all had to duck in and out of bouts of rain, it didn't faze anyone. Also, I swear, it resulted in one of the most incredible sunsets I've seen at the resort. Just stunning. Mother Nature must've been paying attention to the wedding day timeline, because the rain dissipated in time for Sarah to walk down the aisle to her smiling groom. There was laughter, there were happy tears, and there was oh-so-much jubilant celebration as ...
A Girl & Her Best Friends :: {Jessy’s Missoula Senior Portraits}
It was so great to meet up with Jessy the other evening for her senior photos - and I was excited because she told me that 1) she's a very musical person and wanted to incorporate that into her pictures. And 2) she loves animals, and was going to be bringing along her cat, Fancy, and her dog, Buddy. Music and animals are equally important to me, too, so I knew we'd have a good time making her photos. We had fun wandering downtown, and I've got to give it to her furry friends - they did great! I think Buddy may have thought we were on the strangest walk ever (i.e. "who is this lady with the crazy weird gadgets, and why does she get me all ...
