Last February I was hired by a photo agency out of France to photograph James Lee Burke for a piece they were writing about him for their publication, and I loved every. single. second of it, and couldn't help but wax poetic about the experience, which was beyond wonderful. I initially wrote about it on the blog here, and shared images as well. Fast forward about a year, and I was contacted by the lovely folks at Missoula Valley Lifestyle Magazine asking if they could feature my images and my original blog post in their upcoming February issue. So, here you go - the magazine has gone to print and the Missoula Valley Lifestyle Magazine ...
Author James Lee Burke and his Montana Ranch :: Reportage Photo Assignment for RÉA Agency in Paris, France
A couple weeks ago, I received a message from Agence RÉA in Paris, France, asking me if I'd be interested in an assignment photographing James Lee Burke and his Montana ranch for the French magazine, Le Point. Oh my, twist my arm, YES! So off I went on a foggy, damp Montana Valentine's Day to hang out with Jim, listen to his incredible stories, and even get to meet his four sweet horses. I walked up to the door of his ranch, and he and his wife, Pearl, greeted me with smiles and a warm welcome and offers of tea. We sat down at his kitchen nook and spoke while we both munched on chocolate covered almonds. It didn't take long for Jim to ...
Missoula Blood Moon :: Mini Time Lapse
In case you weren't aware, tonight people around the world were treated to both a super moon and an eclipse, which created a "blood moon" effect. I ventured out with some friends to grab a few shots and ended up making this mini time lapse. It's nothing spectacular since I was just doing this for fun, but I thought I'd share anyway. Can you see the little shooting star on the far right? I hope you all got out to see it as well - our world (and out of this world) is pretty darn great, don't you think? Cheers! -Kristine ...
New Photography Website Design! :: Photo Website Officially Updated
I'm fully aware that my new photography website design is probably more exciting for me than it is for you, but I still wanted to share. Why? It's exactly because of you that I can refresh my look and brand - your beautiful moments are featured prominently on my new site as are (just a smattering) of your truly heartfelt and so-very-much-appreciated love notes. So thank you! (P.S. This, that you're reading right now, is my blog. The website is a separate entity.) This is a long time coming, and something I've been wanting to do for what feels like eons, but have just never had the time to tackle. I've busted my rear making this happen ...
Time for a Refresh! :: The Blog’s Got a New Look
Wintertime months are typically the slower season in my business in terms of shoots - however, I can assure you I'm certainly not sitting around eating bon bons with my feet up (which really doesn't even sound all that appealing anyway!). The slower season just means that I'm busy working behind the scenes on many things to refresh my business (updating designs, portfolios, learning new techniques, etc.) and myself (working on personal photography projects, etc.) since I can't usually do this when I'm shooting and editing regularly. So I'm excited to say that the blog has been given a refresh and a facelift! I've long been wanting a clean, ...
Thank you for a Wonderful 2014! :: {Missoula Year in Photos}
2014 is quickly coming to a close (T-minus about 6 hours as I write this post), and what a wonderful year it was! Words really can't even begin to say how grateful I am to everyone I've gotten to know and work with over this past year, and those of you who've I've continued relationships with as well. You have all touched my heart, and have left me with so many happy memories as I've shared moments with you throughout the year. YOU are the reason I do what I do and why I love what I do, so thank you, thank you, thank you from the bottom of my heart! It wasn't an easy task to choose just a few of my favorite images from most of my ...
Glorious Glacier :: {One of my Favorite Places on Earth}
I've been a bit quiet on the blog lately, I admit. But it's because I've been steadfastly prepping for the upcoming photography season (which is going to be awesome!), and I've also been taking time to better my business from behind the scenes, as well as better myself personally and spend time with friends and family before life gets all crazy again. This also means I've finally gotten around to editing some of my own personal images. So, I thought I'd share a few here. Last September I took some time to meet up with my brother and his girlfriend in Glacier National Park. They took the train from Portland into Whitefish, unpacked their ...
Loving the Lilacs – {Happy First Day of Spring, Missoula!}
I love spring. Every sweet ounce of it. There's just something so amazing and exhilarating about how the world transforms from browns and grays to color, color, color! (Have I mentioned just how much I love color?) Some of my favorite spring things (in no particular order): Fuzzy baby green leaves ::: warm sun ::: the smell of mud ::: birdsong ::: smiling faces ::: dark earth ::: buds! ::: blue skies ::: bicycling ::: grilling ::: transformation of the landscape ::: gardening ::: pussy willows ::: sweet little baby animals ::: getting muddy ::: t-shirt weather ::: the promise of summer.... I could go on and on, but I'll leave it at ...
Listen to your gut – {A Personal Post}
I have hemmed and hawed about writing this post. But in the end, I don't think I can sit back and keep quiet because I am deeply, deeply upset and disgusted by what has happened in our photography community in Missoula. I'm shaking as I write this. That's how upset I am. I think it's imperative that people are made aware of what has happened so they can make their own informed decisions, and also I want to speak to some issues this has brought up. What am I talking about? If you missed the article in the Missoulian, please go here to read it. It is in regard to another "photographer" (I put that in quotes, because in no way should he EVER ...
The Smallest Things – {Missoula Springtime Flowers}
I was messing around in my garden this morning, giving myself a bit of flower time on the Friday before wedding season starts up again in full swing, and I came across this tiny treasure. And by tiny, I'm talking TINY tiny. As in maybe a quarter of an inch. I'm so thankful I didn't crush this little beauty, and immediately ran smiling to get my camera. So here you go - happy Friday! And here's an image to give you an idea of just how teensy this little guy was. :) On the docket: weddings and portraits! Stay tuned! Cheers, -Kristine ...
