Autumn days are some of my favorites - oftentimes there's still lingering warmth from the summer, but something changes that sets it apart from those long warm days - the scent in the air shifts as the leaves turn color and fall to the ground, and the air feels a bit more crisp. Ashley, Adam, their daughter, Iris, and I all got together to make the most of this time of year and create some Missoula family photos of them just having a good time with one another, skipping rocks, giggling, running through the grass, dancing, and playing in the water. I love these types of sessions where everyone gets to just "be," and enjoy interacting with ...
Love Amongst the Leaves :: {Kelci and Michael’s Missoula, Montana Engagement Photos}
There is something just so magical about autumn - maybe it's because it feels like its beauty can be so fleeting so we must absolutely soak it up while we can. The leaves are green one day, and then suddenly there's a chill in the air, the clouds turn a dark gray, the sky seems bluer against that gray, the light turns a bit more golden and whammo! we're surrounded by a world full of brilliant oranges, golds and reds. Kelci, Michael and I definitely made the most of the truly stunning autumn Missoula was treated to this year, and though it was a wee bit on the chilly side during our shoot, they toughed it out and we all had such a great ...
Brilliant Autumn Days :: {Hugh’s Missoula Senior Pictures}
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 ...
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 ...
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 ...
Laughter and Milkshakes :: {Jessica, Robert and Rae’s Missoula Portraits}
When Jessica called me up to talk about setting up a time to make some images with her grandmother, Rae, while she and her boyfriend (now fiancé! congrats!!!), Robert, were in town I was pretty excited. Jessica has good memories of visiting Missoula and her grandmother, so this kind of session was just perfect. We wandered around downtown as Rae shared the history of some of the buildings with us, and we stopped off for a milkshake and italian cream soda and had the absolute pleasure of listening to some of Rae's amazing and hilarious stories. (She's got 92 years worth of stories to tell!) She had us all in stitches, and I swear, I ...
Converse Kicks and Prom Dress Prettiness :: Miranda’s Missoula Senior Portraits
When Miranda and I met up for her senior photos and she showed me her pair of zebra-striped converse sneakers, I was beyond excited. We'd already gotten together before this, and she had told me she loves playing with color and being creative, and, not only that, she also digs photography and plans to attend RMSP after graduation from Big Sky High School. So...kindred spirits we definitely are, and our session only became more awesome after her sweet shoe-reveal. What all did our session entail? These are just a few things... Color? Heck yes. Sweet light? You better believe it. Twirly prom dresses? Oh yeah. Bare feet? Sure thing! Jean ...
Running through the Woods :: {Kristeen and Colt’s Rock the Dress Session}
Oh, how I adore rock the dress sessions! They are just so much fun - relaxed, beautiful, playful, creative, and most importantly they take place outside of the wedding day timeline to allow more flexibility with image-making. Don't get me wrong, I love making photos during wedding days too, and Kristeen and Colt's day was certainly no exception, but there's something just so special about doing these types of portraits without time constraints, and simply allowing yourself to go with the flow of the day and just follow the light and let it do its thing. So that's what we did. It happened to be a very smoky day since wildfires in Canada, ...
