It's not every day that you meet someone so knowledgeable and enthusiastic about raising pigs, since so many of us haven't set foot on a farm in who-knows-how-long. But that I did when I joined Collin and his mom at the pig barn to greet his four favorite piglets that he's raising as a part of FFA (Future Farmers of America). Collin and his mom, Anna Marie, have a special bond with these piglets, as they both helped birth them and ensure safe passage into their new world. And they also have a fondness for the farm, too - as Collin told me, it's one of his favorite places. Which is truly evident - he's at home, relaxed and confident next to ...
Laughter and Hugs! – {Missoula Family Portrait Session}
I met up with this lovely family the other day for a session so fun, I'm not sure we stopped laughing! A warm drizzle came down, but this didn't stop anyone from smiling as we trekked about, played hide and seek, even threw a few snowballs. Thank you so much, all of you! You are a beautiful, loving, happy family and I couldn't stop grinning from ear to ear! Thank you for being so fun to photograph - you really made my day! On the docket: engagement sessions! P.S. Don't forget, I'm going to be at the Southgate Mall's 2011 Bridal Fair on Saturday, February 5th. Feel free to swing by - I'd love to see ...
Snow and Smiles – {Cross Country Skiing Portrait Session}
I was lucky enough to be able to make the sojourn to Wisconsin for a brief visit over Christmas to spend time with my parents, my brother and some wonderful friends. It's nice to make the trip since I grew up in Wisconsin, but my true home is Montana, which is where I was born. It's why I've spent my entire adult life pursuing these roots, which I'm so glad to say have happily landed here for a good while now. But it's always bittersweet to go back to Wisconsin, because, though I love it there, my parents dearly wish they were out west as well, closer to my brother and me. However, my family always has a blast when we're together - our ...
Happy New Year, All! – {Thanks for a great 2010!}
Can you believe that 2011 is a matter of hours away? I can't really wrap my mind around it - 2010 flew by in a flurry of wonderful experiences, including so many memorable photo sessions and weddings. I wouldn't be as happy with life and my work if it weren't for all of my fantastic clients (seriously, you all are WONDERFUL), business friends and supporters of my work. I'm always so grateful and humbled that you choose me to document the moments in your lives - it means more to me than you may know. To celebrate the awesomeness that is YOU, I put together a collage of some of my favorite images from 2010 - can you find yourself or ...
Mother and Daughter Beneath the Big Sky – {Close Family Portraits}
I met up with the Close family the other day to make some mother-daughter portraits in Missoula, as well as a few with their English Mastiff, Penny. We couldn't have asked for a more beautiful evening - the clouds were gorgeously textured across the sky, the light softly filtered through them, and though it was a bit chilly, we all warmed up with a little walking. These two lovely ladies were radiant in front of the camera, their smiles glowing and laughter abundant. Thanks again for such a great session, ladies! It was so wonderful to meet you both, and Penny, too! On the docket: family sessions and ...
Stone-Skipping, Field-Running and Tree-Climbing – {Jones Family Portrait Session}
I met up with the Jones family on a beautiful autumn day in Missoula for their family portrait session. The kids were pretty excited for their photos and we had a great time making some great family images, as well as capturing candid moments. We found some fantastic skipping stones and the kids showed off their skills to me, in addition to a broken stick. (Oh, boys will definitely be boys! So hilarious!) Thanks again, all of you! I had such a great time photographing with you - I hope we get to do this again next year, too! On the docket: Events and exciting product announcements! Cheers! -Kristine ...
Ah, to be a Kid in the Summer :: {Missoula Family and Children Portraits}
Is there anything better than a happy, smiling, giggling child? I'm not sure there is. It's magical, intoxicating and the essence of everything that is pure and good. And there was a LOT of happiness, smiling and giggling during my session with Christy, Alan and their three children, Kaely, Wynter and Karu. We all had a wonderful time - the kids enjoyed having little races with one another and showed me some of their best dance moves and subsequent grins. They even doled out a few hugs and high fives! I love editing photos and after having gone through to find my selects, realizing my face hurts because I've been grinning the entire ...
