Oooh, am I ever stoked to share Maelyn's University of Montana graduation images with you today! When Maelyn's mom contacted me about making grad photos for her college graduation announcements, I was excited to get to work with her. Especially when she told me she wanted to go off campus to make her photos. (We opted to photograph towards the campus and have it just visible in the valley below.) Heck yes please! Making these images to celebrate such a major accomplishment is always so special to me. I can't help but remember that time in my own life, and how giddy, excited, nervous, and exhausted I was. I was beyond ready to graduate, ...
Erin + Chris :: Missoula Summer Maternity Photos
I was so excited to meet up with Erin and Chris for their Missoula summer maternity photos. I hadn't yet connected with them because their maternity session (and upcoming newborn portraits) were a gift from Erin's sisters. (Side note: what an amazingly thoughtful gift to give!) When I met them for their maternity session, it turns out that Erin and I had met a few years back during the "For Women's Only" ski program at Snowbowl. (Funny how small towns work like that!) It was so nice to see her again in this new stage of her life, and we had such a fantastic time making images to celebrate her mama-ness. Their 10-year-old border collie ...
Rilee + Nick :: Colorful Autumn Engagement Photos
It was so fun to photograph Rilee and Nick's colorful autumn engagement photos - not only because we timed our session perfectly and were treated to some absolutely brilliant yellows oranges and reds, but because these two are just a blast to work with! I'd photographed Nick's older brother Jamie's wedding a few years earlier, so when Rilee and Nick contacted me about doing their engagement and wedding photos I knew we'd click (no pun intended!). As was standard for this year, we had some rain clouds threatening in the background as well as a few raindrops to start out our session. But thankfully the impending storm skirted around us and ...
Katie, Mike + Ruth :: Missoula Spring Family Portraits
One of the best parts about being a photographer is the connections I get to make with people over the years. I've been working with Katie and Mike since 2011, believe it or not! We've had a blast making engagement photos, creating images during their wedding day, getting adventurous during their rock the dress session, documenting Katie's pregnancy with Ruthie, and now, capturing Missoula spring family portraits for the three of them! What a huge honor to get to do this for them! Ruthie, who is just a bundle of energy and excitement at 20-months, loved getting tickles from her parents, checking out the nearby wa-wa (a creek that we ...
Melisa + Zack :: Dutton Montana Farm Engagement
So, you know how you talk with someone and you just click? I totally felt that way when chatting with Melisa initially about her wedding day. We both love words. We both love birds. (Words and birds! See what I did there?!) And her goal was to get married on her wheat farm to the love of her life, surrounded by her family and all of their farm critters (horses and dogs and chickens and turkey included!). Hooo boy, yes please! Therefore it was no surprise at all that when I zipped up north for Melisa and Zack's Dutton Montana farm engagement, that it was just such a wonderful time. Dutton treated us to a beautiful sunny, windy day just ...
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 ...
Katherine + Mike :: Missoula Maternity Photos
I was so tickled when Katie recently got in touch with me to do her Missoula maternity photos - not only because she's pregnant with her first baby (SO EXCITING!), but also because I was so looking forward to seeing her and her husband, Mike, again too. I have had the pleasure of making photos for them before - for their engagement images, their wedding day, and their rock the dress photos, and I was so looking forward to getting to see them again and document this new, wonderful stage in their lives! Katie and Mike decided to have their photos done at Mike's parents' property - which is actually where we did their engagement photos way ...
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 ...
Janelle + Jamie :: Griz Engagement Photos in Missoula Montana
It was rather chilly for Janelle and Jamie's Griz engagement photos in Missoula, but that didn't stop us from having a great time together. We met up at the University of Montana for the first part of their engagement session, since Janelle and Jamie actually met each other at a Griz game! As luck would have it, we popped on into the stadium to make a few fun Griz-themed images and then strolled around campus to capture the iconic look and feel of the university. Their sweet dog, Zepley, was ready to get out in the mountains a bit more though. We had such a blast making images of the three of them with Missoula as their backdrop, and ...
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 ...
