What's better than Montana's Flathead Lake in the summer? Not much. But... if you add the adorable House family to the mix- Hallie, Ryan and their kiddos Jude, Lyla and Piper....then you've got a recipe for pure sweetness for lifestyle family portraits. I had the pleasure of meeting up with them at their family's lake house on Finley Point to make some fun, spontaneous photos of them as they enjoyed the woods, lake and cherry orchard surrounding the property. We skipped stones, said silly words at the top of our lungs, wiggled our toes in the lapping waves, ran races, rolled around in the soft grass, climbed trees, and ate ripe, juicy ...
Sisterhood – {Jenny and Winny’s Missoula Sister Session}
Probably one of the greatest compliments I can get from a client is to be invited to photograph them multiple times - and I got to do just that with Jenny! Our first session together was for her senior portraits, and this time, before heading out to college, she wanted to do a sister session with her little sister, Winny, as a gift to themselves and to their parents. Such a sweet idea! We had a great time making some fun images for them, and I've got to hand it to these ladies...it was about 99 degrees during our shoot, but you'd never know it by looking at them. We were all pretty hot after our walk around town, but these ladies totally ...
Love in the Mountaintops – {Laura and Tyson’s St. Ignatius Wedding at the Mandorla Ranch}
Laura and Tyson's wedding - I'm not sure they could have had a prettier day or evening in which to celebrate their love for one another. The day started out with a prediction for thunderstorms, but none came. The sky was blue, the sun was bright, and when it finally came time to call it a day, the sun sank behind the mountaintops in a glow so deliciously brilliant, I swear, I could have eaten it right up. The theme for the day with Laura and Tyson seemed to be laughter - and LOTS of it - one of my favorite things at weddings. From their moments getting ready, to their sweet mountaintop ceremony, to dancing and karaoke in the ...
Playing in the Rain, and Fun in the Sun – {Kali’s Missoula Senior Session}
Kali and I had quite the adventure during her senior photo session - we seemed to keep hitting rainy days, which was kind of exactly the opposite of what Kali was envisioning for her photos - which was sunny and bright. However, for part of her session she wanted to shoot in more of an urban setting and figured rainy day shooting downtown wouldn't be so bad - and it wasn't at all! After having to reschedule a couple of times due to the sheets and sheets of rain hitting Missoula, she just decided to go for it, and go for it we did! We both got soaked during our rainy day shoot, but had a good time, even if we were a bit chilly after. So, we ...
A River Runs Through it – {Julie and Dave’s Stillwater River Outpost Wedding}
Julie and Dave, both big fans of fly fishing, chose the Stillwater River Outpost in Absarokee as their ideal place to tie the knot. Not only is it absolutely gorgeous, but it's got personal significance to them as well since they have spent quite a bit of time there enjoying all the river and the location have to offer. True to form, Montana decided to wow everyone with some pretty epic rainstorms, but then pulled out all the stops right as wedding day activities started getting underway, and showed off blue skies, fluffy clouds and brilliant sunlight to highlight Julie and Dave's beautiful riverside wedding. Their dog Quill walked down ...
Love Beneath a Rainbow – {Hannah and Joe’s Missoula Engagement Session}
The weather here in Montana has been a little on the can't-make-up-its-mind side of things lately...but that is one of the many things that I love about this state. Wait 15 minutes and you've got yourself a whole different feel to the day. Hannah, Joe and I were all kind of crossing our fingers that the date we had picked for the engagement session would be sunny and gorgeous, but alas. Gray skies loomed overhead. However, we decided to go for it anyway. And can I say just how flipping glad I am that we did that? Not only did we get the benefit of the super saturated colors overcast days provide, but we happened to stumble upon a giant, ...
Urban Style – {Alexis, Maddy and Krista’s Missoula Model Session}
It was one of those evenings that photographers (or at least I) really love - warm and sunny with delicious evening light. So Maddy, Alexis, Krista and I all took advantage of it and had fun making some smoldering images for their RMEA portfolios. Thanks again, ladies - you were great! Keep it up! :) On the docket: portraits and weddings! Stay tuned! Cheers! -Kristine ...
Hitting the Books with Style – {Karlee’s Missoula Model Session}
I joined Karlee the other day for a fun little "back to school" shoot for RMEA. She did such a great job, and we even managed to catch some of the sweet evening light we've been getting what with all the smoke in the air (yes, that orange colored glow is from the smoky evening sun). Karlee was so much fun to work with - she's just got the most gorgeous eyes, such a sweet smile, and even laughs at me when I'm being a complete goof. ;) Thanks again Karlee for being so awesome! The shoot was a blast! On the docket: portraits, weddings and more portraits! Don't miss them! Cheers, -Kristine ...
An All Star Kind of Love – {Kendra and Beau’s Slack Barn Wedding}
It was more than a little smoky for Kendra and Beau's wedding at the Slack Barn in Corvallis, Montana, but they didn't let it dampen their spirits at all. These two were all smiles as they readied for their ceremony and until the evening's end - and the guys even demonstrated some of their best acrobatics by creating one of the tallest groomsmen pyramids I've ever seen - in a tree! Kendra and Beau continued their fun-loving theme by both wearing All-Star converse sneakers: Kendra's in purple and Beau's in black. Guests enjoyed a tasty roasted pig for dinner, and the acrobatics continued onto the dance floor where the art of back flips ...
Brown-Eyed Girl – {Val’s Missoula Senior Pictures}
It was a ridiculously smoky day when Val and I met up for her senior pictures - however, that didn't stop us for one second. And Val seriously rocked her images to celebrate her class of 2013 status. As did her horse, Stitch. These two are so sweet together - he kept nuzzling her, and was a trooper even when he wanted to eat the yummy grass instead of looking at the camera. Val has been riding English-style since she was a young girl, and hopes to pursue a degree in equine veterinary medicine after graduating from Loyala High School. She's definitely got the magic touch with horses, so I'm sure she'll be a great vet! Here's to a fab ...
