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 ...
Laughter and Hugs! – {Missoula Family Portrait Session}

Walking in a Winter Wonderland – {Travis and Siobhan’s Missoula Engagement Session}
I had the pleasure of meeting up with Travis and Siobhan for their beautiful, wintery engagement session, my first of 2011!

Happy Halloween! – {Missoula Trick-or-Treater Portraits}
Halloween is one of my absolute favorite, FAVORITE holidays. As a kid, my brother, friends and I would always get all decked out in crazy costumes (Pippi Longstocking, penguins, Cheshire cats, you name it), ready to brave the chilly autumn weather for that forbidden pleasure: CANDY. I thought it would be fun to set up a photo booth of sorts for the trick-or-treaters stopping by my place last night. And we had a blast! Thanks to all the kiddos, teens and parents for having some photo fun! And now...drum roll please...the photos! P.S. I found a pair of nice gloves in my lawn last evening. If you're missing a pair, please call or e-mail ...
Mother and Daughter Beneath the Big Sky – {Close Family Portraits}
I met up with the Close family the other day to make some mother-daughter portraits in Missoula, as well as a few with their English Mastiff, Penny. We couldn't have asked for a more beautiful evening - the clouds were gorgeously textured across the sky, the light softly filtered through them, and though it was a bit chilly, we all warmed up with a little walking. These two lovely ladies were radiant in front of the camera, their smiles glowing and laughter abundant. Thanks again for such a great session, ladies! It was so wonderful to meet you both, and Penny, too! On the docket: family sessions and ...
