Ashley and Nick truly are two wonderful people — and I was so excited to be able to make Garden of One Thousand Buddhas engagement photos for them, which is one of their favorite places. Ashley shared with me that it’s particularly significant to them because it’s the spot they’d often visit together when they first started dating. (And if there’s one thing I love, it’s being able to make photos in meaningful places for folks!) Zipping up to Arlee from Missoula, we somehow managed to be treated to one of Montana’s balmier days this winter, complete with a little sun and blue sky, which I think must’ve been timed just perfectly for Ashley ...
Andrea + Mike :: Spring Engagement Session in the Missoula Hills
As has been the theme in my recent posts, it has been a damp, damp spring in Montana. Which I'm a fan of, don't get me wrong - if we can keep the green a bit longer and avoid fire season then I'm all for it. But it also means that scheduling sessions has required some creativity, probably a little bit of hand-wringing, and perhaps some subtle (or not so subtle) murmuring to the radar on my weather app to "just push the storm over that way a little, pretty pretty please!" Thankfully that pleading with my weather app worked (well, we'll pretend it did anyway) for Andrea and Mike's spring engagement session in the Missoula hills. It had been ...
Shannon + Jud :: Missoula Engagement Photos in a Funky Airplane Boneyard
I always love it when couples have fun ideas for their photo shoot - and when Shannon and Jud told me they were thinking about doing their Missoula engagement photos in a funky airplane boneyard, I got more than a little excited. Like a LOT excited. Like clapping-of-my-hands-and-squealing-a-little-bit excited. (Shannon and Jud can totally vouch for that, too.) And then the day came. And the light and the clouds and the beat up old planes, and Shannon and Jud together - it was all to DIE for. I could barely contain myself. In fact, I think I may have been speaking gibberish at times because I couldn't get my words out quickly enough. So. ...
Colleen + Colin :: Missoula Montana Engagement Photography
When Colleen and Colin met up with me to talk about having me photograph their Missoula Montana engagement photography session, I knew we'd have a great time making images together - these two are so happy, so sweet together, and truly do epitomize the meaning of love. We had such a wonderful time wandering the golden fields, laughing and chatting the entire time. They insisted they weren't used to being in front of the camera, but these two were naturals! Mother Nature also behaved herself for us, treating Colleen and Colin to perfect temps, and, if you look closely, you might even see a cloud in the shape of heart - ...
Majestic Maples and Sweet Smiles – {Betsy and Cameron’s Missoula Engagement Session}
As October is wont to do sometimes, the skies threatened rain on Betsy and Cameron's engagement session, but we decided to brave it anyway, and lucky us - the rain stayed away and treated us to some exceptionally beautiful light - only challenged, however, by the absolute happiness radiating from Betsy and Cameron as they looked at one another. Seriously - these two love each other. L. O. V. E. Love. We had so much fun as we trekked about in the woods, laughing our heads off the entire time, and exclaiming at how we are so lucky to live in such a naturally gorgeous place. And I feel pretty darn lucky I get to work with couples as ...
