Travis and Siobhan were married at Travis's family ranch on "the back forty," a place filled with many fond memories for Travis - and now he and Siobhan have just a few more to carry with them as they embark upon their lives together as a married couple. The sun was shining and hot (quite a difference from the day we photographed their snowy engagement session!), a warm breeze blew, and family and friends' smiles shined brilliantly as Travis and Siobhan spoke their heartfelt vows to one another. Everyone was howling with laughter at the many wonderful and hilarious toasts presented to the new couple (Travis, my lips are sealed!) - and ...
Rainbows, Sunsets, Love…and a little Elvis – {John and Lisa’s Corvallis, MT Wedding}
Everything about John and Lisa's wedding at the Slack House homestead, which is owned by The Teller (a nonprofit wildlife conservation organization that owns 1,200 acres of wildlife preserve in the Bitterroot Valley), shouted their personalities - fun, beautiful and full of charm. From their hand-painted signs to the chalkboard menus to the strings of engagement photos posted around the property, John and Lisa's joy was ever-present. Their gorgeous, sun-dappled ceremony under two gigantic willows was filled with personal touches, heartfelt vows they wrote themselves, and a very moving reading by Lisa's sister Caroline. (It's ok Caroline, I ...
Golden Light and Great Smiles – {Hannah’s Missoula Senior Portraits}
When Hannah, a class of 2012 senior at Big Sky High School in Missoula, first e-mailed me about having her senior pictures done, she told me that she loves to have fun to the point where she radiates sunshine - and, I swear, she wasn't kidding! She glowed in her portraits, lighting up the frame with her smile, or taking your breath away with her big, blue eyes. We had such a great time, Hannah was gung ho to try out all my ideas, and she definitely rocked the several outfits she brought along! It's safe to say that the camera loved her. :) When Hannah isn't busy working her inner-model, she loves to spend time playing basketball and ...
A Fondness for the Outdoors – {Jordan’s Missoula Senior Photo Session}
I had the pleasure of meeting up with Shelby High School class of 2012 senior Jordan and her mom this past week to make some fun senior photos - all whilst watching a storm approaching us, lightning included! While dashing between raindrops we had a great time walking and talking and even dodging a garter snake! (Thank you Jordan for braving the tall grass after that little surprise!) Jordan is a tall, beautiful girl, which suits her interest in both basketball and volleyball in Shelby. She's also a big fan of camping, which she was taking a break from up in Seeley Lake, to come hang with me in Missoula for a bit. :) Thanks so much ...
Green Tutus and Neon Shoes! – {Tessa’s Missoula Senior Portraits}
Tessa, a class of 2012 senior at Sentinel High School, is certainly on her way to exciting things - with her exuberant, bubbly personality and easy ability to laugh, the world really is her oyster. We had an absolute blast dashing around downtown Missoula to make some super cool images of Tessa being her brilliant, bright self - neon green tutu and colorful shoes not to be left out. :) Tessa's friend Courtney also joined us and was a most-excellent provider-of-jokes, feather-fixer, and wardrobe consultant. Tessa is a busy lady when she's not out and about making beautiful images - she's a part of DECA, community plays, her church youth ...
Something Borrowed, Something Blue, and a Sixpence in Your Shoe – {Shannon and Shafer’s Double Arrow Lodge Wedding}
There was an abundance of happiness at Shannon and Shafer's wedding at the Double Arrow Lodge in Seeley Lake, Montana - and plenty of luck, too, since Shannon included a lucky sixpence in her shoe, according to her family tradition. Their bright yellow and gray wedding palette added colorful exclamation points to their smile-filled, and laughter-filled wedding ceremony - made even sweeter by the inclusion of 15 adorable children carrying golden balloons down the aisle. Shannon and Shafer are both early childhood special education teachers, so these little rays of sunshine walking down the aisle were especially meaningful to them as a ...
Wind in Their Hair, Love in Their Hearts – {Chris and Kelcy’s Montana Trash The Dress Session}
I met up with Chris and Kelcy a day after their gorgeous Missoula wedding for their super fun trash the dress/rock the dress session. It was roasting hot, but we all had a blast making some really fun images of the two of them doing something they mutually dig - jeeping! I hadn't ever been in a jeep before (I know, I know...I'm a woman of small, deceptively tough cars) and I've got to say, it was definitely a good time! We also made some stunning non-jeeping images of the two of them, and Chris definitely won the award for best veil assistant ever. With a veil as long as Kelcy's, it liked to grab onto twigs and such, and Chris was always ...
Of Love and Laughter – {Chris and Kelcy’s Missoula Wedding at The Keep}
And there was lots of both at Chris and Kelcy's wedding at The Keep in Missoula, Montana. From their absolutely sweet first look (I think Chris had his breath taken away when he first saw Kelcy) to the moving toasts given by family - it was a day to remember. The day started out sunny, but a little Montana microburst decided to sneak its way into things right when the ceremony was supposed to begin. This might have derailed things and jangled the nerves of many couples, but Chris and Kelcy took it in stride and instead shook up the schedule a bit, starting with toasts and champagne. When the sun came out, everyone gathered outside again and ...
Cowboy + Cowgirl = A Match Made in Montana: {Emily and George’s Double Arrow Lodge Wedding}
From the cowboy boots on Emily's feet to the cowboy hat on George's head, theirs was a wedding that truly spoke to who they are as a couple (remember their awesome e-session from a bit ago?). Every bit of their wedding was simply beautiful and simply THEM. A friend married them, their siblings stood up with them, and they looked to the mountains as they pledged their vows to one another. Even as the wind whipped and rain threatened, George and Emily took it all in stride and had a blast sharing their wedding day with their friends and family. Big Sky beers flowed (gotta love Summer Honey and Scapegoat), the conversation and toasts were ...
Naturally Beautiful – {Jeff and Lauren’s Creative Montana Bridal Session}
We are so darn lucky to live in Montana. I mean, just look at what our eyes get to feast upon on a daily basis! Lauren and Jeff took advantage of the exceptional natural beauty of the Two Feathers Ranch where they were married and met up with me a couple days after their wedding to have fun rocking their creative bridal session. It really couldn't have been a more gorgeous evening - we caught the tail end of a summer storm, so we had some beautiful clouds in the sky and golden light towards the end of our evening. We got to hang out with their horses as well, who were exceptionally curious about my cameras. (See outtakes towards the bottom ...
