When Abby and Jeff, both animal-lovers, asked if they could have their engagement photos done with llamas, horses or cows - I admittedly got a little giddy. My response to that question will always be a resounding, "Heck YES!" We found ourselves some willing participants at a ranch in Lolo (they were: ponies Captain Lewis and Captain Clark, Charger the horse, Maude and Gertie the mini mules, and Vincent the dog), and luckily the weather held out for us while Abby and Jeff were in town visiting from Chicago. We had SO much fun. SO much. There was laughter, donkey braying, funny dog faces, kissing ponies, gorgeous light - you name it. And a ...
Love in the Springtime :: {Christine and Pete’s Missoula Engagement Session}
What is better than a perfect Montana springtime evening, beautiful golden light and a couple who is just head-over-heels for one another? Not much at all. That I'm certain of. Christine, Pete and I had SO much fun during their engagement session, and even though it was HOT (82 degrees in May - what what?!), I don't think we noticed all that much. We were too busy smiling, laughing, giggling, traipsing through the tall green grass, climbing over logs - you name it. It was such a treat to see the love in their eyes for one another, and to hear how they sweetly talk about each other. (In Christine's words: "I love him so much - everybody ...
Three Generations of Love and Smiles :: {Cheyenne’s Graduation and Three Generation Celebration}
It is always such a treat to get to work with clients multiple times, so when Cheyenne contacted me asking me if we could meet up again, this time with her mother and grandmother, to make some portraits to celebrate her graduation from the University of Montana and also celebrate the fact that three generations of her family were together, I was excited and jumped at the chance! We managed to dodge the raindrops (for the most part - we got a bit soaked as soon as we finished our portraits - see the last image to view the clouds we were up against), and had such a great time. These ladies obviously have a blast together, and it was so much ...
Graduation Celebration! :: {Dylan’s University of Montana Graduation and Family Portraits}
Graduation weekend at the University of Montana means there's a certain happy, excited energy in the air around Missoula that is always such a cool feeling, and makes me think back upon my own experiences graduating from college and graduate school. You're nervous, you're happy, you're relieved, you're stoked for the next chapter of your life, and you're grateful for those who helped support you in your academic pursuits - usually your awesome family and friends. Such was the case for Dylan, and we got together to make some portraits of him to celebrate his graduation from the University of Montana with a degree in Geology. He had ...
Playful Puppy! :: {The Sharkey Family’s Missoula Pet Portrait Session}
It was so fun to meet up with the Sharkey family the other day to make some portraits of their family - and their newest member, 12-week old golden lab, Kuba! I'm pretty sure we all got a workout from running around after Kuba and from laughing so much! He definitely stole the show, and even showed off his talents at learning how to be a bird dog (i.e. figuring out the pheasant scent). Thank you again for taking time out of your evening to make some fun images! It was such a treat to meet you all and indulge in some puppy time, which I absolutely adore. :) Ok folks...are you ready to melt? Fair warning...there's a lot of adorable ...
Loving the Lilacs – {Happy First Day of Spring, Missoula!}
I love spring. Every sweet ounce of it. There's just something so amazing and exhilarating about how the world transforms from browns and grays to color, color, color! (Have I mentioned just how much I love color?) Some of my favorite spring things (in no particular order): Fuzzy baby green leaves ::: warm sun ::: the smell of mud ::: birdsong ::: smiling faces ::: dark earth ::: buds! ::: blue skies ::: bicycling ::: grilling ::: transformation of the landscape ::: gardening ::: pussy willows ::: sweet little baby animals ::: getting muddy ::: t-shirt weather ::: the promise of summer.... I could go on and on, but I'll leave it at ...
Sunflowers and Smiles – {Megin and Seth’s Stevensville, Montana Wedding}
Talk about a perfect Montana day for Megin and Seth's wedding! Everyone was treated to a bluebird day, the sun shined brilliantly over the mountaintops in the Bitterroot, and didn't sink behind them again until late in the long June evening. Megin readied herself in the upstairs of the main house, taking deep breaths to calm her nerves, and pausing here and there to peek out the window as guests arrived. Family and friends rested on hay bales as they waited for the grand entrance of the bridal party, and were treated to an adorable petal-scattering by the two flower girls. Megin made the long walk to the aisle on the arm of her father, ...
A Sunny Kind of Love – {Rachel and Peter’s Missoula Wedding}
Sunny with blue skies above, the weather matched Peter and Rachel's personalities to perfectly compliment their wedding day. The two started their day off by getting ready with friends, and then prepared themselves for their first look of one another prior to saying their vows. Rachel walked through the dappled sunlight, veil shimmering, and Peter turned to see his bride - the two hugged, kissed and a few tears sneaked out as well as their emotions flowed freely. Soon, it was time for their ceremony, and they and their bridal party walked down the Caras Park stairs to stand in front of their friends and family and share their love with ...
Quirky and Comedic – {Taylor’s Missoula Headshot Session}
It was a bit of a drizzly day when I met up with Taylor for her headshot session, but that certainly didn't dampen her spirits or the sheer brightness and fun of her shoot. Taylor is currently touring as an actor with the Missoula Children's Theater in the south east and wanted to update her headshots and website to reflect a more "quirky/comedic" look as she put it. So we went for bright, colorful and fun and I'd say it was a smashing success! Taylor, thanks again for having me make these images for you - it was so great working with you! Have fun down south! On the docket: weddings, portraits, and more weddings! Don't miss ...
Of Mountains and Memories – {Ellen and Jeff’s Missoula Wedding at the Keep}
It couldn't have been a more perfect day for Ellen and Jeff's wedding day celebration - after days and days of rain, the sun decided to grace us with its presence and showcase Missoula in all its sunny splendor. Smiles, laughter and hugs abounded as everyone readied themselves for the big day. Ellen and Jeff's first look was incredibly sweet and full of emotion, and their ceremony treated everyone to some "scene stealers" by their dog, McKinley, and their adorable daughter, Audrey, as they walked down the aisle. Laughter, tears and many, many smiles were highlights, and afterwards guests were treated to delicious appetizers as well as a ...
