Sweet and Sincere. Two words that describe Mike and Emily's wedding in Conrad, Montana to a tee. Emily and Mike ventured to Montana for their wedding day all the way from Tennessee. Emily is originally from South Carolina, but spent many a summer in Conrad at her aunt and uncle's farm. More recently, Mike proposed to her there, so it was meant to be to have their wedding celebration at the farm in Conrad. The day couldn't have been more beautiful. Gray clouds streaked the sky, and left more than a few of us wondering if we might have a bit of a wet ceremony, but lo and behold! the sun peeped out just as Mike walked down the aisle to ...

Teal Jeans and Tall Boots – {Brianca and Kallista’s Missoula Fashion Session}
So it kind of feels like it's been raining forever here in Missoula. Which, even though it can irk me, I'm thankful for, since hopefully it keeps the fires at bay over the summer.

The entire bridal party was gifted with new cowboy boots for the occasion, and both Annie and Marcus wrote their own vows that they pledged to one another, voices ...
The Importance of Photography – {Some Personal Thoughts}
I'm sitting here writing this at 12:08 a.m. Mostly because I don't think I'll be able to fall asleep without getting these thoughts out of my head, and partly because I am just a night owl at heart. This evening I was washing my face, enjoying the warmth of the water on my skin, and I found myself looking up at my reflection in the mirror and being caught in thought.

How thankful I am to have had time to spend with friends and people I care about. And then I thought about something one of my friends had ...
