Cassie and Cameron joined me Saturday at the Missoula's farmer's market, dressed for spring and ready to stroll around checking out the local goods. Lucky for us, the rain decided to hold off and we had a great time making fun, bright images of these two - you would never know how chilly it was from Cassie and Cameron's warm smiles and the love in their eyes. I'm so looking forward to your wedding this June! (And the bunnies!) On the docket: more engagement sessions! Cheers! -Kristine ...
Springing into their Future Together – {Daisy and Erik’s Missoula Wedding}
Daisy and Erik couldn't have had better springtime weather for their simple and sweet outdoor wedding at Fort Missoula and their lively reception at both the Loft and Stensrud building in Missoula. Clouds threatened rain, but it held off, giving Daisy and Erik two perfect days to spend with family and friends. (And lots and lots of cake - I like the way they think!) Cribbage made its way into their vows (remember their engagement session?), as did laughter and a few tears. But mostly there were smiles and excitement and of course, lots and lots of love. Thanks so much, you two! You are going to have a beautiful life together - I wish ...
Saturday Traditions – {Daisy and Erik’s Missoula Engagement Session}
Weekend traditions are always so nice - and Daisy and Erik's tradition is to visit the farmer's market in downtown Missoula, grab some coffee, check out what the market has to offer and then hop on over to Caffe Dolce to indulge in some breakfast, more coffee, conversation and cribbage. I was fortunate enough to be able to join them this past Saturday for their engagement session incorporating their favorite Saturday morning things. Thanks for traipsing about with me, Daisy and Erik, and for a pleasant breakfast as well. :) Can't wait to photograph your wedding in just a couple weeks! On the docket: More ...
Love is in the Air – {Lisa and John’s Missoula Engagement Session}
Warm sun, blowing snow, zippy little breezes, and blue sky! - we got a bit of each of these during Lisa and John's Missoula engagement photo session the other day. But no matter what Montana's mother nature wanted to throw at us, Lisa and John rolled with it and had a blast to boot! I'm not sure we really even stopped laughing during our entire session we had such a good time. Lisa and John really are two peas in a pod - they know how to have fun and they aren't afraid to show it. Thanks again for such an awesome session - I cannot wait to photograph your wedding this summer! To the photos! On the docket: ...
Traipsing through the Woods – {Charity and Matt’s Missoula Engagement}
I met up with Charity and Matt the other day for their engagement session out in the woods. Amazingly enough, being that it's near the end of March, we were still able to find some snow - hooray! We had a lovely time walking and talking and catching some very sweet moments between these two. The sun even peeked out for a bit! Thanks so much, C and M! What a great time - I'm so excited to be photographing your wedding this year! On the docket: more fabulous engagement sessions! And remember, I'm on the lookout for senior representatives. Be sure to check out the new senior website, too! :) Cheers! -Kristine ...
Sweet On Each Other – {Leanna and Skyler’s Missoula Engagement Session}
Leanna and Skyler are wonderfully sweet people. And very much sweet on one another as well. In fact, speaking of sweet, they're high school sweethearts! These two are such a great pair and we had such an enjoyable time crunching through the snow to make some fun images for their engagement session. We even managed to dodge some impending raindrops! Thank you so much Leanna and Skyler - I am so looking forward to photographing your wedding this summer! On the docket: family sessions! Cheers! -Kristine ...
Happy New Year, All! – {Thanks for a great 2010!}
Can you believe that 2011 is a matter of hours away? I can't really wrap my mind around it - 2010 flew by in a flurry of wonderful experiences, including so many memorable photo sessions and weddings. I wouldn't be as happy with life and my work if it weren't for all of my fantastic clients (seriously, you all are WONDERFUL), business friends and supporters of my work. I'm always so grateful and humbled that you choose me to document the moments in your lives - it means more to me than you may know. To celebrate the awesomeness that is YOU, I put together a collage of some of my favorite images from 2010 - can you find yourself or ...

Snowflakes in the Air, Love in Their Hearts – {Tenis and Svetla’s Double Arrow Lodge Wedding}
It was a bitterly cold day for a wedding, but the warmth and depth of Tenis and Svetla's love was enough to warm everyone's hearts, even if the lovely, crackling fire hadn't been around.

A Love For Each Other, A Love Of The Griz – {Katie and Colin’s Missoula Wedding}
Katie and Colin not only love each other devotedly and wholeheartedly - they love the Griz, too. From the maroon bridesmaids' dresses to a surprise entrance by Monte himself, their wedding spoke to their shared loves, in person and in football. Katie and Colin allowed each other a "first look" prior to their beautiful autumn ceremony, and gazed deeply into one another's eyes, hands trembling from emotion, as they pledged their love during their wedding vows. Soon the party got started and, to everyone's surprise, Monte joined in for a bit and got both the bride and groom and guests to get their groove on. What a great night, you two! Thank ...
