When Starr called me up to ask me about photographing her intimate wedding Memorial Day weekend, I just knew I'd have a blast working with her and her fiancé (now husband!) Ian. She has such a positive, happy energy and it just radiated on her wedding day. She said her vows in the twinkling lights of the Missoula Children's Theater and then she, Ian and I took a walk through the woods to make some fun portraits outdoors after the ceremony. It couldn't have been a more perfect day for these images - sunny and gorgeous! As we were heading back to our respective vehicles, Starr proposed the idea of an impromptu rock the dress session. And who ...
The Smallest Things – {Missoula Springtime Flowers}
I was messing around in my garden this morning, giving myself a bit of flower time on the Friday before wedding season starts up again in full swing, and I came across this tiny treasure. And by tiny, I'm talking TINY tiny. As in maybe a quarter of an inch. I'm so thankful I didn't crush this little beauty, and immediately ran smiling to get my camera. So here you go - happy Friday! And here's an image to give you an idea of just how teensy this little guy was. :) On the docket: weddings and portraits! Stay tuned! Cheers, -Kristine ...
Breathing Deeply and Smelling the Lilacs – {Spring in Missoula}
Spring is one of my absolute favorite times of the year (although I admit I think I say that about every season). There's something just so exhilarating about watching new leaves form, seeing colors pop, enjoying softly falling rain and the intoxicating scents that emerge from the earth and fragrant flowers. I love it all. The past couple months have been exceptionally busy for me, moreso than usual, mainly because I moved into a new house (my first time as a homeowner - so exciting!), I've been finishing up my semester teaching as an adjunct professor at the School of Journalism at the University of Montana, and somewhere in between I'm ...
Skateboards and Sunglasses – {Braylon’s Missoula Senior Portraits}
Braylon and I had a great time roaming around downtown Missoula the other day for his Class of 2013 senior pictures with sunglasses, earphones and longboard in tow. Braylon is a big fan of folfing and tries to go as often as he can, he loves pretty much any kind of music, and he hopes to pursue a pharmacy tech degree. Braylon, keep up your cheery attitude, and I can assure you that you'll go far! Thanks again for a great shoot - you were so much fun to work with! And congrats again on graduation! :) On the docket: portraits, weddings and video! Stay tuned! Cheers, -Kristine ...
Namaste – {Claire’s Yoga Photo Session}
I joined Claire and her yoga instructor, Amanda, the other day for a fun photo session featuring some of the poses Claire has been practicing - and wow! I'm impressed. These ladies brought out the beauty and serenity that is yoga, and I had such a lovely time documenting their dedication and love for this art. Thank you again, ladies, for inviting me to photograph something that is so special to you both. Let's do it again soon. And next time I'm wearing yoga pants, too. :) On the docket: more portraits! Stay tuned! Cheers, -Kristine ...
Color, Texture and Light – {Healy, Holly and Carson’s Model Session}
I am a self-professed color, texture and light addict. So when I got to really emphasize these three favorite things in my photos with Healy, Holly and Carson, I was pretty darn stoked. Yellow, BAM! Purple red and black, BAM! Groovy corrugated metal, BAM BAM! Pretty light, OH MY! Suffice it to say that I was one happy photographer. Not to mention that all three of them were so much fun to work with - what a great day! Thanks H, H and C - way to work it for the camera! ;) On the docket: senior portraits! Cheers, -Kristine ...
Raw Emotion – {Joelle’s Missoula Fashion Shoot}
This shoot was all about drama drama drama - in a good way. I knew going into this that I wanted it to feel dark, dramatic and raw, and that I'd be shooting for black and white. So we styled Joelle very casually, and got all dark and smudgy with her makeup to really add to the drama of the photos. This is pretty different from what I usually shoot - which is very happy, bright, and full of color. I wanted to go in the total opposite direction with these photographs and capture the vulnerability of someone who's feeling sadness, curled into themselves and just letting go. Because I couldn't go all sad and dark with every shot (I'm a super ...
Dancemania! – {Oula’s First Annual Missoula Dance Party}
Dancemania is probably an understatement because the ladies at Oula's first annual dance party at the Stensrud Building in Missoula seriously ROCKED their FEET off. I had such a blast photographing so many happy people shaking their groove thang (huge kudos to Kali Lindner who created Oula!), and I hope you'll investigate all the awesomeness that is Oula. (I swear, if I hadn't been photographing, I would have been a "dancemaniac" as well!) This fab party was put together by the lovely Kelsey Motes-Conners from Glacier Parks Weddings and Events, who did a seriously wonderful job. Accents of fuschia along with pink drinks really popped and ...
Loving the Light – {Joelle’s Missoula Fashion Model Session}
I love light. And I love that Joelle and I got to really play around with it during our latest Missoula fashion session. The weather couldn't have been better - a balmy 87 degrees (in April of all things!), a slight breeze, topped off with a drop-dead-gorgeous sunset. That's definitely the recipe for a sweet session. And, of course, Joelle was brilliant, too. :) P.S. If you've got a dress you want to rock like Joelle did, let me know! These types of sessions are a blast and a great way to show off that prom dress or wedding dress! And I'm sure Joelle can attest to that, too. A huge big shout out to the people who helped make this shoot ...
Spring Smiles – {Molly and Andy’s Missoula Engagement Session}
I met up with Molly and Andy a while back to do a super mini engagement session with them - it was short and sweet - just what they wanted - and their cat, Melvin, even got to share the spotlight. :) Can't wait for your wedding this summer, you two! On the docket: portraits! Cheers, -Kristine ...
