I had the pleasure of photographing Margaret and Grant's wedding last summer, so I knew we'd have a blast again this spring making their Seeley Lake Montana family portraits, this time with their puppy, Teddy the St. Bernard in tow! (Though he's already a very big boy!) I met up with them at their family cabin on a (chilly!) spring day in June, and, as it happens in Montana, we got a little bit of everything as far as weather goes - but the best thing is that Margaret, Grant and Teddy were totally open to making it work and going with the flow. We began our session in the woods outside their cabin, and were serenaded by some chatty ...
Caroline + Friends :: Girls Weekend at The Resort at Paws Up in Montana
One of my favorite parts of photographing portrait sessions is when the idea behind it is unique - and Caroline's girls weekend at The Resort at Paws Up in Montana was definitely that! She and a group of her best friends from all over the country (all businesswomen and mothers) decided to meet up in Montana at Paws Up to celebrate Caroline's birthday and treat themselves - which I think is such a fantastic thing to do! Luckily, the weather cleared up for us and big sky country definitely put on a show for these ladies. We were treated to fantastic views, dramatic skies and wildflowers in abundance! As we were zipping around the resort, we ...
Susan + Randy :: Intimate Triple Creek Ranch Wedding in Darby Montana
Susan was so much fun to talk to over the phone when she contacted me about photographing her intimate Triple Creek Ranch Wedding in Darby Montana to her fiancé, Randy. She was bubbly, excited, and eager to get married in Montana! (She and Randy are from Tennessee and live at the base of the Smoky Mountains there.) So it didn't surprise me one bit when, upon meeting the two of them, we hit it off immediately and had such a great time photographing their nuptials. Prior to their ceremony I photographed both Susan and Randy separately around the ranch to take in the vistas, the gorgeous forested areas around the property, and of course, the ...
Melisa + Zack :: Dutton Montana Farm Engagement
So, you know how you talk with someone and you just click? I totally felt that way when chatting with Melisa initially about her wedding day. We both love words. We both love birds. (Words and birds! See what I did there?!) And her goal was to get married on her wheat farm to the love of her life, surrounded by her family and all of their farm critters (horses and dogs and chickens and turkey included!). Hooo boy, yes please! Therefore it was no surprise at all that when I zipped up north for Melisa and Zack's Dutton Montana farm engagement, that it was just such a wonderful time. Dutton treated us to a beautiful sunny, windy day just ...
Breanna + Branden :: Corvallis Montana Engagement Photos in the Bitteroot Valley
You know when the stars align, the weather is perfection, springtime in Montana is just exploding, and you get to work with the sweetest of people? Yeah, that's what Breanna and Branden's Corvallis Montana engagement photos in the Bitterroot Valley were like. We lucked into a day that showed off the Bitterroots to their fullest potential, and had an absolute blast together making their images. When we were talking about their session, Breanna and Branden told me that they really would love to be able to make their images down in the Bitterroot, since when they were first dating, they'd spend many days driving and exploring around the area ...
Nichole + Zef :: Missoula Montana College Graduation Images
I am always just so tickled when the people I get to photograph add personal, meaningful elements to their sessions. And Nichole and Zef's Missoula Montana college graduation images certainly had that in spades! To celebrate her college graduation from Carroll College in Helena and pay homage to her Navajo roots, Nichole's grandmother made her dress for her. And when I say made, I mean MADE. Not only did she sew it for Nichole, she WOVE it. Talk about super, super special! Thankfully, despite it being an overcast day, we didn't get rained out for any of Nichole or Zef's images. As we meandered from location to location, Nichole and Zef ...
Jackson + Logan :: Kimberley Alpine Resort Wedding in British Columbia Canada
If I had to use only one word to describe Jackson and Logan's Kimberley Alpine Resort Wedding in British Columbia Canada, I'd be hard-pressed to find the best superlative. Why? Because their wedding day was worthy of every superlative out there. Seriously. I'm a pretty darn happy person in general, but man - my cheeks were literally sore from smiling so much. (A friend of theirs pointed this out to me too!) The day started out with Jackson and Logan's friends and family heading up Northstar Mountain via chairlift (a seriously stylish way to travel, I tell you; and I was gripping my cameras as tightly as I possibly could!). The day before ...
Jessica + Ryan :: Alta Ranch Wedding in Darby Montana
Springtime weddings in Montana mean you never know what you're going to get weather-wise. You might find yourself experiencing rain, snow, sleet, hail, chilly temperatures, or warm sunlight. And wouldn't you know it, Jessica and Ryan's Alta Ranch wedding in Darby Montana gave us a little bit of all of those things! As both Jessica and Ryan got ready for their ceremony, folks kept checking the sky to see what it was up to. Sun gave way to clouds, but despite that, we hoped that the rain would hold off. Soon ceremony time was just around the corner, and everyone began to make their way down the hill and towards the creek - all with umbrellas ...
Bonnie, Josh and Ro :: Missoula Family Pictures in the Spring
I've got to tell you, I was beyond flattered when Bonnie contacted me about doing Missoula family pictures in the spring with her partner, Josh, and 6-month-old baby girl, Ro. Bonnie's a fellow photographer and journalism school graduate (she attended Berkeley's j-school), and does beautiful work - both photographically and written. She and her darling little family were going to be in Missoula again to visit (Bonnie had an internship with the Missoula Independent a couple years ago and we met through mutual friends), and I was so excited to see them again, especially with the newest addition to their family, little Ro! I seriously cannot ...
Andrea + Mike :: Spring Engagement Session in the Missoula Hills
As has been the theme in my recent posts, it has been a damp, damp spring in Montana. Which I'm a fan of, don't get me wrong - if we can keep the green a bit longer and avoid fire season then I'm all for it. But it also means that scheduling sessions has required some creativity, probably a little bit of hand-wringing, and perhaps some subtle (or not so subtle) murmuring to the radar on my weather app to "just push the storm over that way a little, pretty pretty please!" Thankfully that pleading with my weather app worked (well, we'll pretend it did anyway) for Andrea and Mike's spring engagement session in the Missoula hills. It had been ...
