October 15th UPDATE: Fall mini sessions are finished for 2023 (and were awesome!!). But you can still sign up to my VIP list directly below to be the first to know about future mini sessions and discounts I occasionally offer. Yay! (Have no fear, I won't send you 1 billion messages either. Just the important stuff like occasional discounts and freebies!) Oooooooh, boy! Am I ever thrilled to announce this: for the first time ever, I am offering Missoula Montana Mini sessions — specifically, fall family minis! (Just in time for those holiday cards. 😉) But even more exciting is the fact that 50% of proceeds support Earth Within ...
Pier 7 Top :: A Personal Post
This is a bit of a departure from my regular photography client posts that I typically share here. But it's a huge part of who I am and what I love to do, so here it is on this blog! When I have a bit of free time (which isn't a whole lot — I'm actively trying to get better at that), one of my favorite things to do is sew! Recently I had the opportunity to make the Pier 7 Top as a promotional sew for New Horizons Designs. It's been on my wishlist for a while, so I'm glad I finally got to give it a whirl! First and foremost, it's a super cute top. The website describes it as follows: The Pier 7 top is named after a popular pier in San ...
COVID-19 and Photography – How I’m Handling it :: A Personal Post
Unless you have been living under a rock somewhere, I'm sure you're well aware that the Coronavirus and COVID-19 have drastically changed this world and our everyday lives. It's also changed my photography business (for the time being). So I wanted to write a quick blog post addressing COVID-19 and Photography, and how I and my business are handling it. First things first - I am a very, very lucky photographer. This is directly related to the fact that a couple years ago, I miraculously got offered a job at a web design company out of San Francisco and have been working remotely for them ever since. I still have that job today while ...
Groovy Guy Gifts Totes Magotes Bag Review
Recently, Groovy Guy Gifts sent me a personalized "Totes Magotes" bag in the mail and asked me to write up a review of it - so here it is! The Groovy Guy Gifts Totes Magotes Bag review. As you might guess from the name of the company, Groovy Guy Gifts specializes in gifts you might want to give the special guy or guys in your life. In particular, they market what they offer to people looking for groomsman gifts. However, I think that a lot of what they sell could be given as a gift at any time - no need to be a groomsman. The Totes Magotes bag is a perfect example of this. Any guy who ever needs to transport his stuff in style, but with ...
Skiing into Garnet Ghost Town in Montana :: A Mini Winter Adventure
Skiing into Garnet Ghost Town in Montana has long been on my list of "things I really want to do." A friend of mine had done it a few years back, and, while I've visited the ghost town numerous times during the spring and summer, I had never experienced it during the winter. Cross country skiing into the little ghost town, nestled in its very own tiny valley, sounded like the perfect way to enjoy a little slice of Montana winter. When initially researching how to make this happen, we came across various pieces of information, but none of them was super definitive, and most of what we were able to find out was pieced together from multiple ...
Webflow Goes to Nottingham England :: A Personal Post
Towards the end of January, I had the opportunity to head to the United Kingdom with my new group of Webflow teammates. (In case you missed it, I'm continuing to run my photo business because I love you all so much, and I'm also now working with Webflow as well, which is basically just the best combination ever.) I've had a lot of people ask me why our group of 11 decided to hop across the pond - and the answer is, one of our teammates, Stu, lives in Nottingham, but it's not the easiest for him to travel. So, we figured, let's travel to Stu! And I'm just so beyond glad that we did. It was my first time meeting the majority of my teammates ...
Groovy Guy Gifts Whiskey Stones Review
Recently, Groovy Guy Gifts sent me some whiskey stones in the mail and asked me to write up a review of them - so here it is! The Groovy Guy Gifts Whiskey Stones review. Perhaps you haven't heard of whiskey stones before? If that's the case and you're wondering why on earth you'd put rocks in your drink, the main purpose is that you can use whiskey stones in place of ice to keep your drink of choice cool, all without watering it down. (You know, since stones don't melt.) I've actually been curious about whiskey stones for a while since I seem to always forget to fill the ice cube trays in my freezer, so I was eager to see how I'd like ...
Why I Went to San Francisco for a Week + Why I love Webflow :: A Personal Post
I spent the past week in San Francisco working, and had my life totally and completely changed - but I didn’t divulge to anyone what kind of work I was doing because...well. Let’s start from the beginning, shall we? And by beginning, I mean, the very beginning. I’ve always been an artistic, creative person. The more ways I can find to express myself creatively, the happier I am. Whether that’s through painting, clay and pottery, drawing, knitting, sewing, writing, photography or web design, etc. - I like it all. Waaaaay back in the stone ages (ok, perhaps not quite that long ago), I dabbled in web design by writing simple, basic ...
It’s a Brand New Website! :: Missoula Montana Wedding Portrait & Editorial Photographer
The grass in my yard is about a foot tall. My garden is the definition of wild. I'm not entirely sure when I last cooked a real meal for myself. Suffice it to say, I've been busy. Editing photos, on shoots, out on photo-hiking-camping adventures in our beautiful state. Hanging with friends. Really making the most of summer and this gorgeous weather and all that comes with it. And, last, but certainly not least, in the free time I've found here and there in the very wee hours of the morning (because I will never not be a night owl), I've been plugging away redesigning my brand new website. And I. Am. SO. STOKED that it's finally, finally ...
Photography Gear Review :: Photo Pie Backdrop Review
A while back I received a photography backdrop to check out from the company Photo Pie Backdrops, which is based out of Burley, Idaho. (Hey neighbors!) I'm finally just now getting a chance to check it out, and thought I'd write up a quick Photo Pie backdrop review since the company was kind enough to send this to me at no charge (thanks guys!). Typically I don't use a ton of backdrops since I generally don't spend a whole lot of time shooting "set up" scenarios. What this means is that I'm usually photographing people in spaces without making any additions or adjustments of my own because I'm documenting them as they are. Or I'm shooting ...
