Is there anything more serene or magical than watching snow fall at night? We had a little storm a couple of days ago in Missoula that blanketed our town with about 7 inches of beautiful, fluffy snow. I couldn't help but document it in a simple video and as a still photo, too. Check out the small slices of the evening below - the first is the final photo; the second is the behind-the-scenes video. (To watch it in HD, which makes a huge difference in viewing quality, hover over the video, click the HD button at the bottom right and click the corresponding link that pops up.) Enjoy!

Of Horses, Haybales and Heartfelt Love – {Kim and Randy’s Montana Engagement Session}
The other day, I had the pleasure of meeting up with Kim and Randy in Stevensville, Montana, to trek around Randy's family's ranch and make some engagement photos of Kim, Randy and their horses, P, Q and Dinero. We had so much fun despite the deceptively chilly weather (yet no snow!). And I swear, these two are so perfect for one another - they goofed around with each other, showed off some sweet dance moves, made me (and themselves) laugh a lot!, and just plain had a good time. Not only were they radiant in their photos just on their own, but holy moly - our backdrop for the day wasn't too shabby either (oh Bitterroot valley, you make ...
Visitors from the North – {Snowy Owls in Montana}
This is a bit of a departure from what I normally post....not a portrait session (of people anyway), and much too long for a Wordless Wednesday post......but I really want to share these images with you because, quite simply: Owls Are Cool. Especially snowy owls. And especially since they've been hanging out with us here in Montana. Snowy owls don't usually spend all that much time in our area, so it's pretty rare to see them. They'll hop on down here every 5 or 6 years or so, and when they do...oh my gosh...go and see them! Admittedly, I may be slightly biased because I kind of LOVE birds (ok, I WHOLEHEARTEDLY love birds), but ...
Kisses Amidst the Softly Falling Snow – {Dalton and Eleisha’s Missoula Engagement Session}
Missoula sure hasn't gotten much of a winter this year (minus that one monster dump of snow), but Dalton, Eleisha and I lucked out the other day during their engagement session as we marveled at the beauty of the fat, falling snowflakes. Seriously - we are so lucky to live in such a stunning place. And Dalton and Eleisha wanted to take advantage of our natural surroundings for their very sweet engagement session. Thank you so much for tromping around in the snow with me, you two! So much fun - made even more so by how happy you are together! I can't wait to photograph your wedding this summer! Happy Valentine's Day! On the docket, ...
Stockings, Lace and Garters – {Gini’s Missoula Boudoir Session}
There is something so wonderful about being able to capture a woman's beauty, and have her see it for herself and really be wowed. I feel so honored when I'm asked to photograph boudoir sessions - they're intimate and gorgeous and fun, and also so very empowering. Oftentimes, we as women, can be so picky about our bodies and how we look, that we forget to really, truly look at ourselves - the beauty of our bodies and our personalities combined (myself included!). I was so excited when Gini called me about photographing a boudoir session for her - she wanted to do it to celebrate herself, give herself a birthday present, and teach her ...
Celebrating Sensuality – {Missoula, Montana Boudoir Sessions}
Boudoir - sensual, classy and celebrating all that is lovely about women, because we deserve it, don't we? I had such a wonderful time the other day photographing the brave, excited women who decided to step outside their comfort zone, take a leap of faith, and strip down to their skivvies, all in the name of giving themselves a little treat, as well as their husbands and boyfriends. :) There are many different takes on boudoir photography - and my style of boudoir photography emphasizes classiness, sensuality and femininity. And these ladies definitely exuded all, plus some! Thank you again to the women who participated - I had such ...
Hot Coffee and Warm Hearts – {Maddy and Colin’s Missoula Engagement Session}
Maddy and Colin are such a delightful couple, and we had a great time making some super fun images during their wintry Missoula engagement session. Maddy is a big time coffee fan, so we stopped off to grab a few cups before embarking on our walkabout around the University of Montana where they both met. Maddy and Colin are so meant for each other - the way they look at one another, the way their eyes sparkle (yep, Colin, your eyes did sparkle!), and most importantly, how they make each other laugh - even when in the midst of a snowball fight. Thank you so much, you two, for taking time out of your day to have some fun in the snow with me! ...
Kisses in the Snow – {Katherine and Mike’s Missoula Engagement}
Missoula has gotten a lot of snow this winter - and Katherine, Mike, their black lab, Buck, and I all found this out during their lovely engagement session. We had so much fun making some fun images for the two of them. Katherine and Mike are so warm and smiley, and very obviously in love with one another - I found myself grinning non-stop during their session. We all had some good laughs upon literally stumbling across some snow pack that was over our knees. Thanks again for being so gung-ho about everything, you two! I cannot *wait* for your wedding this summer! On the docket: engagement sessions and a video about pie ...
Wordless Wednesday – {LunaFest Missoula}
Ok, so I'm veering a bit from a traditional Wordless Wednesday post and instead want to give a shout out to LunaFest, which is taking place Wednesday, March 16th at the Wilma Theater in downtown Missoula to help benefit the YWCA of Missoula. What is LunaFest, you ask? To quote from the Missoula LunaFest's website: LUNAFEST was established in 2000 by LUNA, the makers of the Whole Nutrition Bar for Women, to simultaneously promote women filmmakers, raise awareness for women’s issues, and support worthy women’s nonprofit organizations throughout the U.S. and Canada. LUNAFEST is completely funded by LUNA and run by a small, dedicated group ...
Laughter and Hugs! – {Missoula Family Portrait Session}
I met up with this lovely family the other day for a session so fun, I'm not sure we stopped laughing! A warm drizzle came down, but this didn't stop anyone from smiling as we trekked about, played hide and seek, even threw a few snowballs. Thank you so much, all of you! You are a beautiful, loving, happy family and I couldn't stop grinning from ear to ear! Thank you for being so fun to photograph - you really made my day! On the docket: engagement sessions! P.S. Don't forget, I'm going to be at the Southgate Mall's 2011 Bridal Fair on Saturday, February 5th. Feel free to swing by - I'd love to see ...
