If you've been following my work or my blog for a while, you know that I adore color. Love it. Wholeheartedly. And when Hugh showed up for his autumn Missoula senior pictures looking seriously stylish and completely on par with all the gorgeous colors around, I got a little giddy. (I mean, his orange pants! Absolute perfection!) We had a great time walking around and making the most of all the awesome color we had to work with, and also chatted a bit too. Hugh really loves to snowboard, and has been doing so for a while. He also enjoys learning about history and thinks that after graduation he'd like to pursue either a career in welding or ...
Big Sky Sunsets and Smiles :: {Gretchen and Shawn’s Missoula Ranch Club Wedding}
Gretchen and Shawn both live in New York City, but Gretchen grew up in Missoula and knew she wanted to be married in the big sky state and honor some of her favorite Montana things on their wedding day. They couldn't have paid homage to this great place any better. From their first look that took place near her childhood home, to the Montana beers, to the band they had playing, to the sage in her bouquet, it was truly a day full of fond memories - both old and new. Montana certainly was up to the challenge as well and presented everyone with a brilliantly sunny day, not a cloud in that expanse of blue, and later transformed itself with ...
Sun, Smiles and Sweetness :: {Annie and Josh’s Trapper Peak Winery Wedding}
Time certainly flies when you're having fun, and it seriously feels like just yesterday that I was hanging out with Annie and Josh making their engagement photos amongst the autumn leaves and night sky. Fast forward a few months (ok, more than a few months!) and their wedding day had arrived! I love how personalized their wedding was to their tastes and their lifestyle. Their venue was just a hop and a skip away from the B&B they run, Annie chose to wear a custom-made antique lace dress, their food was locally-sourced, the events of the day were casual and fun and centered around friends and family, and Annie even helped make her own ...
Fun with Color :: {Alexandra’s Missoula Senior Pictures}
One of my favorite seasons is definitely autumn, so I was excited to hear that Alexandra really wanted some fall colors in her senior photos. And fall colors we received! Brilliant golds, oranges and reds really highlighted the pop of pink Alexandra was wearing and the red in her hair as well - perfection! We had such a nice time wandering and finding those color pops, enjoying the autumn scent and making some fun images that highlighted Alexandra's sparkling eyes and beautiful smile. Alexandra - thanks again for a fun session! Here's to an awesome senior year and a bright future for you! On the docket: weddings, portraits, ...
A Girl & Her Best Friends :: {Jessy’s Missoula Senior Portraits}
It was so great to meet up with Jessy the other evening for her senior photos - and I was excited because she told me that 1) she's a very musical person and wanted to incorporate that into her pictures. And 2) she loves animals, and was going to be bringing along her cat, Fancy, and her dog, Buddy. Music and animals are equally important to me, too, so I knew we'd have a good time making her photos. We had fun wandering downtown, and I've got to give it to her furry friends - they did great! I think Buddy may have thought we were on the strangest walk ever (i.e. "who is this lady with the crazy weird gadgets, and why does she get me all ...
Water-Wading and Sweet Smiles :: {Nicole’s Missoula Senior Pictures}
To say that Nicole, her mom and I had a blast during her senior session would be a complete and total understatement. Holy moly did we have fun! Nicole is a senior at Hellgate and is on the swim team there - so she was really hoping we could incorporate water into her shoot, which I'd say we did pretty successfully. I've got to hand out the kudos to her too, because that water was darn chilly! And yep, she and I definitely waded into it. Cold, but so worth it! When I asked her about what she might be interested in doing after she graduates from Hellgate, Nicole told me that she really loves working with kids and hopes to pursue this as ...
Golden Grasses and Stunning Smiles :: {Sonia and Derek’s Missoula Wedding at the Ranch Club}
Missoula in the summertime is truly a magical place, and it was no different for Sonia and Derek's Missoula wedding at the Ranch Club - blue skies, a smattering of wispy clouds, and lots of beautiful sunshine to kiss the landscape. A gentle breeze blew as Sonia and Derek shared readings, spoke their vows and exchanged rings in front of their family and friends. As the two kissed for the first time as husband and wife everyone cheered, their smiles wide and eyes bright. As folks finished their dinner, toasts started up and were filled with emotion, fond memories and punctuated with laughter and perhaps a few misty eyes. Sonia and ...
Bare Feet and Sunset Kisses :: {Sarah and Jordan’s Flying Horse Ranch Wedding}
Happy couples are my favorite, and Jordan and Sarah were no exception. It was a perfectly beautiful day for their wedding and part of what made it so beautiful was their visible happiness and easygoing nature throughout their wedding day. And even though there were tears too, they were happy tears. Tears of a father proud of and happy for his daughter. Tears of a bride moved by her husband's vows to her and her vows to him. Tears while listening to the most moving of toasts from siblings and friends. And, of course, lots and lots of laughter to accompany the events of the day as well. As their wedding day progressed, the brilliant blue ...
Love and Laughter :: {Abby and Jeff’s Missoula, Montana Wedding}
When you get to work with a couple whose engagement request includes being photographed with mini donkeys...you just KNOW their wedding day is going to be equally as awesome. And it totally was. Abby and Jeff had such a gorgeous wedding. The day couldn't have been more perfect - blue skies, fluffy clouds, sweet light, and heckuva lot of smiles, laughter and love. These two had some of the most hilarious and sweet wedding vows I've heard, which had everyone in stitches. And that was the theme of the day - pure happiness and joy, surrounded by friends and family (many of whom traveled all the way from Chile to join the festivities!) We ...
Stunning in Sequins :: {Lynnae’s Missoula Portrait Session}
My brain is always on overdrive, thinking of new things I'd like to try in my photography, so it was such a treat to meet Lynnae, who answered my model call to help me out with said new idea. (And if you'd like to hear when I have these model calls, hop on over to my Facebook page and become a liker to stay in the know. You don't even have to be a model, per se - I prefer to work with people without modeling experience, and we have a grand ol' time!) It was a ridiculously hot evening, but she definitely kept her cool and we had a blast as she had fun in front of the camera and indulged my whims. The light was seriously scrumptious and ...
