I was so excited when Dana got in touch with me again about doing another Missoula Montana mother and son session with her 8-year-old boy, Will, because we'd had such a wonderful time together during our first session three years ago! Will's grown so much, and much like our first session, he's a boy who's curious and excited about life, loves the outdoors, adores his mother, and still retains a fascination with sticks and rocks and all the cool things we can find in the woods. It was so fun to see his imagination at play (at one point he created some "bike handlebars" from two sticks he he held together), and he had all sorts of ...
The Bradley Family :: Fall Family Photos in Missoula Montana
As per usual, it was another fabulous session with the Bradley family for their fall family photos in Missoula Montana. I've been making photos for them for quite some time now (since 2010 actually - has it really been 8 years?! holy moly time flies!). And it's always just so fun to see the kids grow up and change right in front of my camera. Mother Nature treated us to an absolute stunner of an autumn day for their session - the sun was brilliant, the leaves had just begun to turn shades of golden, orange, and red, and we had a great time meandering around to find some fun little spots for their family portraits. I love to see how ...
Kali, Adam, Sloan & Beau :: Missoula Family Photos in the Fall
It was so lovely to meet up with Kali, Adam, Sloan and Beau for their Missoula family photos in the fall, and we were lucky enough to catch the colors in the leaves before they all quickly vanished just a few short days later. Sloan, age two, kept us moving from location to location as she explored the world around her, and particularly loved getting to "swing" as her parents held her hands. She giggled, grinned widely and asked for more time flying high in the sky! Beau was a trooper as well, and at 8 months old, was one happy little guy. That is, until we introduced him to leaves, which he decidedly did NOT like, which had us all ...
Will :: Missoula Children’s Portraits
I was so happy to get a message from Will's mom, Dana, saying that she'd like to make some Missoula children's portraits of Will at this stage in his life (he's 5-years-old) and that she'd like to document him in one of his favorite places. I just adore sessions like this because they're less about posed images and more about capturing Will just as he is. Which is exactly what we did. And, just as I suspected, we had a blast! We had our session in a place that Will visits often, and he led the way, dashing off excitedly to show me some of his favorite nooks and crannies in the woods. He shared with me his love of pretty autumn leaves (red ...
