I decided to swing by for the opening day at the Western Montana Fair since my mom was in town visiting. She and I are big fans of cute animals, and we happened to find some super adorable ones at the fair. There were chickens, geese, ducks, rabbits, goats, llamas, bulls - you name it. I'm always impressed by the kids (and adults) who take such good care of their animals. This young man with the rabbit was no exception. His rabbit, R.J., was getting all sorts of pets and hugs from his youthful owner. He was kind enough to let me take some photos of him with his rabbit (who is a lion head breed, by the way), and to tell me a bit about how his ...
Raindrops + Horses :: {Elizabeth and Odin’s Boulder Ridge Great Falls Wedding}
I've always got to hand it to a bride who doesn't break down at the site of raindrops. I've got to credit her even more when she LAUGHS in the face of pouring rain as she goes after the photos she really, really wants. Yes - Elizabeth and Odin totally rock. Period. The day at Boulder Ridge in Great Falls started off sunny, but as the ceremony drew nigh, vows were said, rings were exchanged and alas - the thunder boomed and lightning crackled! Elizabeth really wanted some photos up on a ledge by the waterfall, and I assured her that if she was game, I was too - since, as sweet as I may be ( ;) ), I don't melt. We dashed up the hill as fast ...
Love on a Mountain Top – {Panika and Austin’s Corvallis Wedding}
Oh, to be married at the very tippy top of a mountain - the blue sky embracing you, the surrounding mountains offering a solid hug, the warm breeze whispering across your face. Panika and Austin had just that experience at their very own mountain top wedding in Corvallis, Montana on her grandfather's land, and I was lucky enough to be there to document their day! It was a steep, bumpy drive to the ceremony location, but its remoteness was gorgeous and just perfect for Panika and Austin's wedding. Panika's grandfather officiated, the ceremony was short and sweet and lovely, and the party continued on in Missoula at Caras Park. But now ...
Ah, to be a Kid in the Summer :: {Missoula Family and Children Portraits}
Is there anything better than a happy, smiling, giggling child? I'm not sure there is. It's magical, intoxicating and the essence of everything that is pure and good. And there was a LOT of happiness, smiling and giggling during my session with Christy, Alan and their three children, Kaely, Wynter and Karu. We all had a wonderful time - the kids enjoyed having little races with one another and showed me some of their best dance moves and subsequent grins. They even doled out a few hugs and high fives! I love editing photos and after having gone through to find my selects, realizing my face hurts because I've been grinning the entire ...
Angie and Ken’s Just Because! Photos – {Missoula Portrait Session}
Eeek! I've gotten a bit behind in posting sneak peeks from my photo sessions - life's been so busy! I met up with Angie, Ken and their handsome dog, Rivet. (I think I'm spelling his name right?) Angie wanted to have a "just because" photo session - which I love! We all had a nice time tromping about near the river, and Angie and Ken braved the chilly water for a few shots. Rivet also kept himself amused by barking at a few kayakers paddling downriver. Angie is a photographer, too, and wanted some portraits with her camera, so we had fun being a little camera-nerdy and taking pictures of one another. Here are my faves from our ...
Great Egret :: Birds at the Lee Metcalf Wildlife Refuge
On another one of my photo adventures with my visiting brother, we checked out the Lee Metcalf Wildlife Refuge. I'd never been before, and it was definitely worth the trip. It's a gorgeous spot with all sorts of bird activity. I should mention, I love birds. LOVE 'em. Perhaps this has something to do with the fact that I grew up with canaries as pets and have two pet birds of my own (Flash the parrotlet and Mozart the canary). Or my love for them could be because they're just so darn cool. Don't tell me you aren't envious of their wings and ability to fly! Anyway, these are some of my favorite photos from our excursion - enjoy! The ...
