A couple weeks ago, I received a message from Agence RÉA in Paris, France, asking me if I'd be interested in an assignment photographing James Lee Burke and his Montana ranch for the French magazine, Le Point. Oh my, twist my arm, YES! So off I went on a foggy, damp Montana Valentine's Day to hang out with Jim, listen to his incredible stories, and even get to meet his four sweet horses. I walked up to the door of his ranch, and he and his wife, Pearl, greeted me with smiles and a warm welcome and offers of tea. We sat down at his kitchen nook and spoke while we both munched on chocolate covered almonds. It didn't take long for Jim to ...
Janelle + Jamie :: Griz Engagement Photos in Missoula Montana
It was rather chilly for Janelle and Jamie's Griz engagement photos in Missoula, but that didn't stop us from having a great time together. We met up at the University of Montana for the first part of their engagement session, since Janelle and Jamie actually met each other at a Griz game! As luck would have it, we popped on into the stadium to make a few fun Griz-themed images and then strolled around campus to capture the iconic look and feel of the university. Their sweet dog, Zepley, was ready to get out in the mountains a bit more though. We had such a blast making images of the three of them with Missoula as their backdrop, and ...
Kristy, Dug & Sven :: Victor Montana Pet and Family Pictures
When people ask me to photograph them with their pets, I admittedly always get a little excited (ok, a LOT excited), because pets and their people are seriously the Best. Thing. Ever. And when I'm told that the session will include a puppy and an older dog too...well then. It's no surprise that my heart completely melted during Kristy's Victor Montana pet and family pictures. I met up with Kristy, Dug, her 10-year-old golden retriever, and Sven, her 12-week-old golden retriever puppy at Kristy's friend's ranch in Victor. It seriously couldn't have been a more idyllic setting - the ranch land is rugged and beautiful, and full of areas ...
Amanda, Travis, Robbie & Amelia :: Lolo Montana Family Pictures
It's always so fun to me to have the opportunity to make family pictures for people - maybe it's because I've always enjoyed looking at my own from years past, and remarking over how tiny we once were, how much we've all changed, but at the same time, how much we've all stayed the same, too. So it was such a treat to get to meet up with Amanda, Travis, Robbie and Amelia for their Lolo Montana family pictures the other day and capture some memories for them that they'll one day look back on as well. The weather was a little on the crazy side, but everyone was game, and we made it work for us. I'd say things turned out splendidly, even if ...
Shannon + Jud :: Missoula Engagement Photos in a Funky Airplane Boneyard
I always love it when couples have fun ideas for their photo shoot - and when Shannon and Jud told me they were thinking about doing their Missoula engagement photos in a funky airplane boneyard, I got more than a little excited. Like a LOT excited. Like clapping-of-my-hands-and-squealing-a-little-bit excited. (Shannon and Jud can totally vouch for that, too.) And then the day came. And the light and the clouds and the beat up old planes, and Shannon and Jud together - it was all to DIE for. I could barely contain myself. In fact, I think I may have been speaking gibberish at times because I couldn't get my words out quickly enough. So. ...
Christy + Neil :: Intimate Glacier National Park Wedding
Glacier National Park is a truly magical place, so when Christy and Neil got in touch with me about photographing their intimate Glacier National Park Wedding, I was so excited to hear about what they had in mind. And it. Was. Perfect. They both have strong connections to Glacier, and prior to their ceremony, went in search of a spot within the park that just felt right to them. That spot? The Trail of the Cedars. And it truly was right. Christy wowed Neil with their first look, and as guests began to arrive, they both hid away down the trail. Soon, their ceremony started and Christy and Neil made their way down the trail, tiny ...
Hannah + Laura :: Missoula Montana Ranch Club Wedding
Autumn weddings are my absolute favorite, and Hannah and Laura's Missoula Montana Ranch Club Wedding was no exception to this. The sun was shining, the blue sky was filled with beautiful, textural clouds, and these ladies were bursting with happiness and beyond excited to get married (their megawatt smiles *might* have given them away a little). That's pure perfection in my book. Before their ceremony they had a super sweet first look - (see above comment about megawatt smiles). We had a great time making some portraits, and then it was time to hide them both away for their big reveal. Family and friends smiled and teared up as Hannah ...
Guy + Teresa :: Missoula Fall Engagement Photos
Autumn was in its prime when I met up with Guy and Teresa and their two adorable miniature schnauzers, Sophie and Königin, for their Missoula fall engagement photos. We were even treated to some downright balmy weather as we wandered along the river making images against the beautiful fall colors. The dogs had a great time exploring (and photo bombing us - haha!) while Guy, Teresa and I chatted and laughed. As it turns out, Guy and Teresa are both very interested in photography. Guy told me he used to be a wedding photographer and also did some work for papers in the Orange County area when he lived there, and Teresa also does some ...
Rosie + Zach :: Missoula Private Residence Wedding
It was a bit of a chilly and wet day for Rosie and Zach's Missoula private residence wedding, but that certainly didn't dampen anyone's spirits in the least bit. Anticipation was high, smiles were frequent and everyone was excited for the moment that Rosie and Zach got to see each other as she walked down the aisle. That moment came quickly, and Zach, completely moved by seeing his bride, had to blink back a few tears. But the tears soon gave way to laughter as the two spoke their vows to one another and exchanged rings. They were blessed by a Native American smudge ceremony as a nod to Rosie's heritage, and sealed it all with a ...
Bailey + Andrew :: Missoula Autumn Engagement Photos
It's an understatement to say just how fun Bailey and Andrew's Missoula autumn engagement photos were to make - I'm fairly certain we laughed our heads off the entire shoot! And that's always a good thing in my book. It was even more fun to see just how much these two enjoy one another, and how much in love they are. As we were walking during our session, Bailey and Andrew told me that they met while in high school and were best friends, but didn't start dating until a bit later. Suffice it to say, they fell in love and now they're engaged! Andrew's in school focusing on chemistry and biology and Bailey is finishing up a nursing ...
