I met up with Charity and Matt the other day for their engagement session out in the woods. Amazingly enough, being that it's near the end of March, we were still able to find some snow - hooray! We had a lovely time walking and talking and catching some very sweet moments between these two. The sun even peeked out for a bit! Thanks so much, C and M! What a great time - I'm so excited to be photographing your wedding this year! On the docket: more fabulous engagement sessions! And remember, I'm on the lookout for senior representatives. Be sure to check out the new senior website, too! :) Cheers! -Kristine ...
Kisses in the Snow – {Katherine and Mike’s Missoula Engagement}
Missoula has gotten a lot of snow this winter - and Katherine, Mike, their black lab, Buck, and I all found this out during their lovely engagement session. We had so much fun making some fun images for the two of them. Katherine and Mike are so warm and smiley, and very obviously in love with one another - I found myself grinning non-stop during their session. We all had some good laughs upon literally stumbling across some snow pack that was over our knees. Thanks again for being so gung-ho about everything, you two! I cannot *wait* for your wedding this summer! On the docket: engagement sessions and a video about pie ...
Wordless Wednesday – {LunaFest Missoula}
Ok, so I'm veering a bit from a traditional Wordless Wednesday post and instead want to give a shout out to LunaFest, which is taking place Wednesday, March 16th at the Wilma Theater in downtown Missoula to help benefit the YWCA of Missoula. What is LunaFest, you ask? To quote from the Missoula LunaFest's website: LUNAFEST was established in 2000 by LUNA, the makers of the Whole Nutrition Bar for Women, to simultaneously promote women filmmakers, raise awareness for women’s issues, and support worthy women’s nonprofit organizations throughout the U.S. and Canada. LUNAFEST is completely funded by LUNA and run by a small, dedicated group ...
Vegetable Bouquet – {Wordless Wednesday}
I make a lot of photos that don't actually end up on the blog. A lot of them are just for fun, some just don't fit in the space I allot myself, and....oh, I don't know. I get busy and just don't post them. But, I've decided to remedy that by doing a Wordless Wednesday post each week. I'll be blogging one image or series of images, with little to no explanation needed. For the very first Worldess Wednesday, I'm sharing the following...... { Vegetable Bouquet } Cheers! -Kristine ...

Leanna and Skyler are wonderfully sweet people. And very much sweet on one another as well. In fact, speaking of sweet, they're high school sweethearts!

Happy New Year, All! – {Thanks for a great 2010!}
Can you believe that 2011 is a matter of hours away? I can't really wrap my mind around it - 2010 flew by in a flurry of wonderful experiences, including so many memorable photo sessions and weddings. I wouldn't be as happy with life and my work if it weren't for all of my fantastic clients (seriously, you all are WONDERFUL), business friends and supporters of my work. I'm always so grateful and humbled that you choose me to document the moments in your lives - it means more to me than you may know. To celebrate the awesomeness that is YOU, I put together a collage of some of my favorite images from 2010 - can you find yourself or ...

Snowflakes in the Air, Love in Their Hearts – {Tenis and Svetla’s Double Arrow Lodge Wedding}
It was a bitterly cold day for a wedding, but the warmth and depth of Tenis and Svetla's love was enough to warm everyone's hearts, even if the lovely, crackling fire hadn't been around.

Friends and family stood with them as they said their vows to one another, eyes sparkling in the glow of the firelight, and everyone joined together for a delicious dinner full of laughter and happy toasts.
