I always have the best time when photographing Christine and Anders (see proof from their engagement session and wedding), and this time was no different, except for one thing. We got to make their Missoula Montana fall family photos with dogs! Misha, their golden retriever who's about a year and a half, and Sam, their 12-week-old Australian Shepherd were as cute as cute can be, and the absolute sweetest pups you can imagine. This was Sam's first time really exploring beyond his backyard because he'd just gotten his shots. He was a little apprehensive at first since leashes are very big, scary snakes, black cameras are very frightening ...
Sarah, Matt + Oliver :: Missoula Autumn Anniversary Photos
I'm always so tickled when I get to work with past couples of mine - and that was absolutely the case for Sarah and Matt's Missoula autumn anniversary photos with their sweet pup, Oliver. (We called it an "anniversary session" even though it was technically a few months after their first anniversary, which was in August.) I hadn't met their dog, Oliver, before as he's the newest addition to their family since they've moved to Montana, so it was such a treat to get to document these three together just enjoying the beauty of a chilly October day in Montana. Oliver was pretty excited to survey his new playground, and did his best ...
Margaret, Scott + Danforth Quayle the Dog :: Missoula Pet and Family Photos
First, I just love, love, love when folks contact me wanting to do family photos with their four-legged friends, and secondly, I love it even more when it gets to take place in the winter! So it was no surprise that Margaret, Scott and their adorable dog, Danforth Quayle's, Missoula pet and family photos would be so enjoyable. Margaret and Scott have been wanting to make some portraits for a while now, and decided this was the year to do it - and also give it as a gift to their parents! (Always a great idea!) Luckily we were able to fit a session in for them while it was 1). actually snowy (sometimes Missoula doesn't see that much snow in ...
Kristy, Dug & Sven :: Victor Montana Pet and Family Pictures
When people ask me to photograph them with their pets, I admittedly always get a little excited (ok, a LOT excited), because pets and their people are seriously the Best. Thing. Ever. And when I'm told that the session will include a puppy and an older dog too...well then. It's no surprise that my heart completely melted during Kristy's Victor Montana pet and family pictures. I met up with Kristy, Dug, her 10-year-old golden retriever, and Sven, her 12-week-old golden retriever puppy at Kristy's friend's ranch in Victor. It seriously couldn't have been a more idyllic setting - the ranch land is rugged and beautiful, and full of areas ...
A Season for Smiles – {The Braun Family’s Missoula Portraits}
Cute kids, golden leaves, happy smiles - that's about the definition of perfection, isn't it? Maddy, Ali, Nick, Rachel and even Sunny the dog, and I all had a great time on a beautiful autumn afternoon making some photos of them together and individual portraits as well. We giggled, we chit chatted, and we definitely laughed. Great job, you guys! Keep those beautiful smiles and laughter coming! :) On the docket: portraits, one last wedding for the year, and more portraits! Don't miss out! Cheers, -Kristine ...
