I hope you all got a chance to step outside last evening and witness the gigantic moon hanging low over the hilltops and reflecting into the Clark Fork - seriously beautiful. I was hoping to see some northern lights, which didn't happen, but my...the moon sure was a good substitute. This photo isn't from last night, but I was reminded that I still had it hanging out, waiting to be shared, and today seemed like a good day for that. Enjoy! This was taken this past June after George and Emily's super fun engagement session. This image is way more gigantic than I'd normally post, but I figured the moon kind of merits that treatment. On the ...
Of Horses, Haybales and Heartfelt Love – {Kim and Randy’s Montana Engagement Session}
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 ...
Visitors from the North – {Snowy Owls in Montana}
This is a bit of a departure from what I normally post....not a portrait session (of people anyway), and much too long for a Wordless Wednesday post......but I really want to share these images with you because, quite simply: Owls Are Cool. Especially snowy owls. And especially since they've been hanging out with us here in Montana. Snowy owls don't usually spend all that much time in our area, so it's pretty rare to see them. They'll hop on down here every 5 or 6 years or so, and when they do...oh my gosh...go and see them! Admittedly, I may be slightly biased because I kind of LOVE birds (ok, I WHOLEHEARTEDLY love birds), but ...
Kisses Amidst the Softly Falling Snow – {Dalton and Eleisha’s Missoula Engagement Session}
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, ...
Hot Coffee and Warm Hearts – {Maddy and Colin’s Missoula Engagement Session}
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! ...
There’s Nothing Better than Being with Family – {Portraits of my Own}
I love my family dearly. Which is a huge understatement. They mean so much to me, especially since we are kind of scattered all across the U.S. So when I get to spend time with them, I adore it. I drove to Spokane to celebrate an early Thanksgiving with my grandparents and uncle, and it was absolutely delightful. I spoiled them with pumpkin pies I made, received wonderful warm hugs and got to cook with grandma (which involved a hilarious turn at trying to figure out how to flatten a duck - long story - it involved a couple YouTube videos and resulted in one funny-looking duck!). Cooking with Grandma is especially dear to me since the last ...
From Flowers and Frocks to Sequins and Smoldering – {Ali K.’s “Just Because” Montana Portrait Session}
Ali K. made her annual trek to Montana with her family to meet up with friends and hang out in the wonder that is Montana summer - and she got together with me for her annual "just because" portrait session, which is always such a blast! This year, we went for two distinct styles: sexy librarian, and rocker chic. Ali totally embodied both these looks and I can't even begin to describe to you just how much laughter was involved. Suffice it to say, our cheeks hurt from smiling so much. Also, on a more technical nerdy photographer note, I experimented with a slightly different processing style on these pics to really emulate the look of film. ...
Weddings, Best of 2011! – {Montana Weddings}
It's an understatement to say 2011 has been an absolutely wonderful year for weddings in so many ways. I don't have words to express how thankful I am to have met so many amazing people, and to have shared such beautiful, touching moments with you all. So, thank you, thank you, thank you! And now, here's a little video to showcase the very best of 2011 - your smiling faces, the love in your hearts, and moments that have changed your lives. Thank you for inviting me to document this for you. It's truly been an honor. On the docket - portraits! Cheers, -Kristine ...
Happy Halloween! – {2011 Missoula Trick-or-Treater Portraits}
A belated Happy Halloween to you all! It was another great night full of little goblins and ghouls ready for tricks, treats and pics at my Halloween Photo Spook Booth. Halloween has always been a favorite holiday of mine, and last year I thought - what the hey - it'll be fun to do this for all the little kids that come by my house on Halloween night. It was a great success last year, and such a fun time this year as well. I noticed there were a few returning trick-or-treaters from last year (I heard one boy shout, "This is the photo house! She's a photo god!" Thank you, mystery boy - that made my night!) as well as lots of new kids armed ...
Love Amongst the Autumn Leaves – {Katherine and Mike’s Missoula Rock The Dress Session}
It was a bit of a rainy, overcast day for Katherine and Mike's Missoula "rock the dress" session, but that didn't dampen anybody's spirits, least of all their dog, Buck, who was happy to jump into the river, and come bounding towards Katherine and Mike for wet "hello's!" Katherine very much rocked her dress - we had a wonderful time strolling through the tall grasses, drinking in the beauty that is autumn in Missoula, and making some fun images in the rain. We were joking that Katherine and Mike have hit almost all of the seasons during their photography with me - winter/spring for their engagement session, summer for their gorgeous ...
