What is better than a perfect Montana springtime evening, beautiful golden light and a couple who is just head-over-heels for one another? Not much at all. That I'm certain of. Christine, Pete and I had SO much fun during their engagement session, and even though it was HOT (82 degrees in May - what what?!), I don't think we noticed all that much. We were too busy smiling, laughing, giggling, traipsing through the tall green grass, climbing over logs - you name it. It was such a treat to see the love in their eyes for one another, and to hear how they sweetly talk about each other. (In Christine's words: "I love him so much - everybody ...
Glorious Glacier :: {One of my Favorite Places on Earth}
I've been a bit quiet on the blog lately, I admit. But it's because I've been steadfastly prepping for the upcoming photography season (which is going to be awesome!), and I've also been taking time to better my business from behind the scenes, as well as better myself personally and spend time with friends and family before life gets all crazy again. This also means I've finally gotten around to editing some of my own personal images. So, I thought I'd share a few here. Last September I took some time to meet up with my brother and his girlfriend in Glacier National Park. They took the train from Portland into Whitefish, unpacked their ...
Loving the Lilacs – {Happy First Day of Spring, Missoula!}
I love spring. Every sweet ounce of it. There's just something so amazing and exhilarating about how the world transforms from browns and grays to color, color, color! (Have I mentioned just how much I love color?) Some of my favorite spring things (in no particular order): Fuzzy baby green leaves ::: warm sun ::: the smell of mud ::: birdsong ::: smiling faces ::: dark earth ::: buds! ::: blue skies ::: bicycling ::: grilling ::: transformation of the landscape ::: gardening ::: pussy willows ::: sweet little baby animals ::: getting muddy ::: t-shirt weather ::: the promise of summer.... I could go on and on, but I'll leave it at ...
Golden Emotion and Happy Hearts – {Joe and Hannah’s Missoula Wedding}
I had the pleasure of photographing Joe and Hannah's winter wedding a bit ago, which took place on their engagement-anniversary in February. It was wintry outside, but warm and inviting inside the Florence building's ballroom - the lights glowed as did everyone's faces as Hannah walked down the aisle, beaming at her groom. The two laughed and smiled as they exchanged vows, and walked back down the aisle as husband and wife to the Star Wars theme - so great! We had fun playing around with portraits and definitely took advantage of the old phone booths on the main level. Soon it was time for some really sweet toasts, the cutting of the ...
Winter in the Mountains – {Kristeen & Colt’s Montana Portrait Session at Sky Ridge Ranch}
From the moment I talked to Kristeen on the phone (and we exclaimed over the fact that we're both "K" Kristines - woot woot! we're rare, I tell you!), I knew we'd just have a blast working together! So, when Kristeen called to tell me she and Colt were in Missoula, visiting from their home base in Hawaii, and that they had decided they wanted to take advantage of the snow we had here to do some fun portraits, I was completely game. We all carpooled together up to Sky Ridge Ranch (which is where they'll be getting married this summer - such a beautiful venue!), and decided to tromp around in the snow and make the most of the white-capped ...
Wintertime Rambles – {Megan and Jeremy’s Missoula “Engagement” + Family Session}
A few days after Christmas I had the pleasure of getting together with Megan and Jeremy and their family since they were all together in Missoula for the holidays. It was such a treat to see everyone again, and this time around I even got to meet Megan and Jeremy's dog, Grafton (who is the cutest, fuzziest dude ever!). The backstory about their "engagement" session is that I photographed Megan and Jeremy's wedding in 2012 (so pretty!), but we had to delay their engagement session until a later date since they live more than a hop and a skip away from Missoula. So, a little over a year later we had a great time making photos of these two - ...
Perfect Autumn Days – {Raina and Danny’s Missoula Engagement Session}
This year Missoula has experienced an exceptionally beautiful autumn - and luckily Raina, Danny and I got to take advantage of all the beautiful colors before the wind swept the leaves off the trees a few days later. We walked around downtown, laughing and chatting, and laughing some more. Giggling, they told me the story of how they met when Raina swiped one of Danny's chicken strips - the rest is history. :) These two are just so utterly in love, and I can tell we're going to have an absolute blast at their wedding next year. Here's to you two, Raina and Danny! And many, many chicken strips to share. ;) On the ...
Colorful Leaves and Starry Montana Skies – {Annie and Josh’s Darby, Montana Engagement Session}
When Annie and I first started talking about me being the photographer for her and Josh's wedding, it was SO great to find out that she's from Wisconsin - because, though I was born in Montana and have spent nearly half my life here, I grew up in Wisconsin and have a special fondness for it in my heart. And fellow Wisconsin people are just kind of awesome. Doncha know. (Sorry - couldn't resist.) I met up with her and Josh at the bed and breakfast they are caretakers of in Darby (such a sweet place!), and Montana was pulling out all the stops for us - blue skies, colorful autumn leaves, golden light....I could go on and on. After ...
An October Kind of Love – {Jennifer and Brian’s Spokane Wedding at the Roberts Mansion}
There is something decidedly romantic about an autumn wedding - especially when it takes place at a gorgeous mansion surrounded by colorful foliage, and really celebrates an intimate ceremony. When I met up with Jennifer and Brian at the Roberts Mansion in Spokane, Washington, sun streamed in through the stained glass windows as Jennifer readied herself to see her groom. And as she stepped out of the mansion doors and he saw her for the first time, his eyes lit up and a big smile spread across his face. Their ceremony was thoughtful, simple and beautiful. The two held each other's hands and looked into one another's eyes as they ...
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 ...
