I can't believe it feels like only yesterday that I was photographing Marcus and Annie's engagement session this past autumn - and now, fast forward to June, these two lovebirds are hitched! Marcus and Annie tied the knot at the Double Arrow Lodge in Seeley Lake, Montana, amidst a large group of their friends and family. Annie planned her wedding down to the very last detail, and it showed exquisitely in how tailored their day was to their own tastes and favorite things. The entire bridal party was gifted with new cowboy boots for the occasion, and both Annie and Marcus wrote their own vows that they pledged to one another, voices ...
The Importance of Photography – {Some Personal Thoughts}
I'm sitting here writing this at 12:08 a.m. Mostly because I don't think I'll be able to fall asleep without getting these thoughts out of my head, and partly because I am just a night owl at heart. This evening I was washing my face, enjoying the warmth of the water on my skin, and I found myself looking up at my reflection in the mirror and being caught in thought. I thought about the things that had happened over the course of the past couple days. How much I'd accomplished in my list of to-do's. How thankful I am to have had time to spend with friends and people I care about. And then I thought about something one of my friends had ...
Raw Emotion – {Joelle’s Missoula Fashion Shoot}
This shoot was all about drama drama drama - in a good way. I knew going into this that I wanted it to feel dark, dramatic and raw, and that I'd be shooting for black and white. So we styled Joelle very casually, and got all dark and smudgy with her makeup to really add to the drama of the photos. This is pretty different from what I usually shoot - which is very happy, bright, and full of color. I wanted to go in the total opposite direction with these photographs and capture the vulnerability of someone who's feeling sadness, curled into themselves and just letting go. Because I couldn't go all sad and dark with every shot (I'm a super ...
Loving the Light – {Joelle’s Missoula Fashion Model Session}
I love light. And I love that Joelle and I got to really play around with it during our latest Missoula fashion session. The weather couldn't have been better - a balmy 87 degrees (in April of all things!), a slight breeze, topped off with a drop-dead-gorgeous sunset. That's definitely the recipe for a sweet session. And, of course, Joelle was brilliant, too. :) P.S. If you've got a dress you want to rock like Joelle did, let me know! These types of sessions are a blast and a great way to show off that prom dress or wedding dress! And I'm sure Joelle can attest to that, too. A huge big shout out to the people who helped make this shoot ...
Spring Smiles – {Molly and Andy’s Missoula Engagement Session}
I met up with Molly and Andy a while back to do a super mini engagement session with them - it was short and sweet - just what they wanted - and their cat, Melvin, even got to share the spotlight. :) Can't wait for your wedding this summer, you two! On the docket: portraits! Cheers, -Kristine ...
Fashion Forward – {Joelle’s Missoula Fashion Model Session}
So I love color. Especially bright colors. LOVE LOVE LOVE them. And I admittedly get beyond excited when I have the opportunity to have fun playing around with it. For Joelle's model shoot we styled her wardrobe to contain little pops of color and interest - from fire engine red skinny jeans, to bright bags, to a super fun animal print coat and a red and purple clutch. The light also happened to be deliciously awesome during our shoot (after a few weeks of reschedules due to rain, rain, rain), and I had fun working with it - both on its softer side, and more on its harsh, shadowy side. I love getting to exercise my creative photo muscles, ...
Smiling in the Spring Sun – {Maggie and Tyler’s Missoula Engagement Session}
Maggie and Tyler - I swear - their smiles could rival the brightness of the sun! We had such a fun time during their Missoula engagement session, and even managed to luck out with the weather, getting a bit of sun for our little walkabout. (I think they brought it with them from California!) These two are so clearly meant to be with one another. They're a lot like puzzle pieces - fitting together perfectly, but unique in their own right, too. Maggie and Tyler, I'm so glad you were able to make it back to Montana for our session - thank you so much for all the smiles and laughter! I'm not sure summer can get here soon enough since I know ...
Tiny Fingers and Tiny Toes – {Mirai’s Newborn Session}
There is just something so sweet about newborn babies. Their little noises, their teensy-ness, their fuzzy dandelion hair...I could go on and on. And Mirai is definitely the epitome of a bundle of cute! Just shy of a month old (she's a 2012 leapling baby, born on Leap Day), she was content to cuddle with her mom and dad, getting little kisses every so often by the household Labradors. Mirai was pretty curious about everything going on around her, and gazed at us with her newly-focusing eyes - she was such a good little baby for her newborn photographs! Thank you, Rachael, Mike and Mirai for a lovely session - your brand new baby girl is ...
Hand-in-Hand – {Sara and Ryan’s Missoula Engagement Session}
It was so great to finally meet Sara and Ryan the other day for their sweet little Missoula engagement session. We'd been in touch through the various long-distance means: mainly phone and e-mail, so it was wonderful to meet these two in person. And it's so clear how in love they are with one another and what a perfect pair they make. Their engagement session was short and sweet and we even managed to catch a little sun towards the end, too! Thank you again, Sara and Ryan, for taking the time out of your busy schedules whilst in Montana to make some fun images of the two of you - I'm looking forward to making more on your wedding day! ...
Of Lace and Love – {T’s Missoula Boudoir Session}
What is it about black stockings that are just so awesome? T certainly rocked them during her boudoir session the other day, and I'm sure her husband-to-be is going to love these images she's giving to him as a wedding present. Thanks again, T, for such a fun session - you really rocked your images! For the rest of you, please enjoy this mini sneak peek, and if you've been contemplating setting up a boudoir session for yourself, don't be afraid to be in touch or ask questions. :) Boudoir sessions are so much fun! On the docket: fashion portraits and engagement sessions! Stay tuned! Cheers, -Kristine ...
