Autumn was in its prime when I met up with Guy and Teresa and their two adorable miniature schnauzers, Sophie and Königin, for their Missoula fall engagement photos. We were even treated to some downright balmy weather as we wandered along the river making images against the beautiful fall colors. The dogs had a great time exploring (and photo bombing us - haha!) while Guy, Teresa and I chatted and laughed. As it turns out, Guy and Teresa are both very interested in photography. Guy told me he used to be a wedding photographer and also did some work for papers in the Orange County area when he lived there, and Teresa also does some ...

Rosie + Zach :: Missoula Private Residence Wedding
It was a bit of a chilly and wet day for Rosie and Zach's Missoula private residence wedding, but that certainly didn't dampen anyone's spirits in the least bit. Anticipation was high, smiles were frequent and everyone was excited for the moment that Rosie and Zach got to see each other as she walked down the aisle. That moment came quickly, and Zach, completely moved by seeing his bride, had to blink back a few tears. But the tears soon gave way to laughter as the two spoke their vows to one another and exchanged rings. They were blessed by a Native American smudge ceremony as a nod to Rosie's heritage, and sealed it all with a ...
Mia :: Missoula Downtown Senior Pictures
Meeting up with Mia for her Missoula downtown senior pictures was so nice - and a reminder of just how quickly time flies! It only seems like yesterday that I was making photos of her for her cheerleading squad, which is now several years ago! We had a great time wandering around some of downtown's fun and funky little nooks and crannies, and as we did so she told me that she's really liking her classes, and is especially enjoying her drawing class. Mia also mentioned to me that she's thinking about pursuing a career in medicine, and at the moment is leaning strongly towards nursing since she really loves people. Mia's got a natural grace ...
Bailey + Andrew :: Missoula Autumn Engagement Photos
It's an understatement to say just how fun Bailey and Andrew's Missoula autumn engagement photos were to make - I'm fairly certain we laughed our heads off the entire shoot! And that's always a good thing in my book. It was even more fun to see just how much these two enjoy one another, and how much in love they are. As we were walking during our session, Bailey and Andrew told me that they met while in high school and were best friends, but didn't start dating until a bit later. Suffice it to say, they fell in love and now they're engaged! Andrew's in school focusing on chemistry and biology and Bailey is finishing up a nursing ...
Emilee :: Autumn Senior Pictures in Missoula Montana
Emilee and I initially attempted to make her senior pictures in August - however, we were thwarted by the massive amounts of forest fire smoke that decided to hang out in the Missoula valley. Fast forward a bit, and we decided to go for autumn senior pictures in Missoula Montana. And I'm so glad we did - even though it rained (kind of a lot), we stuck it out and it resulted in some seriously awesome, unique photos - can we say DOUBLE RAINBOW?? :) Ohhhhh yeahhhhh. Emilee was so wonderful to work with - she's got a beautiful smile and can rock a more serious look as well. She wasn't afraid to dance in the rain and humor me by having fun ...
Monique + Kirkland :: Camrose Hill Flower Farm Wedding in Stillwater Minnesota
Once upon a time, Monique and I were undergrad roommates in college - two years officially and one year living across the hall from one another. We've laughed together, we've cried together, we've concocted crazy Halloween costumes together, we've shared stories, we've busted our bums studying, we've seen each other grow both in and out of college, and we've remained friends ever since. So when Monique contacted me about photographing her Camrose Hill Flower Farm wedding in Stillwater, Minnesota, I was beyond, beyond, beyond happy, excited and honored. To be invited to document and witness one of the happiest days of your friend's life is one ...
