I was so happy to hear from Keegan when he contacted me about having Missoula father and son portraits made with his boys, Anze and Mikko. There's just something so special about the connection between a dad and his boys, and I'm so glad he wanted to document it. Anze and Mikko (and Keegan too, of course!) were such troopers and we had a great time searching the river for fishies, racing through the grass, making wishes on flowers, and hunting for grasshoppers (that Anze very successfully found!). The boys loved getting tickles from their dad and each other, Anze made sure Mikko didn't actually eat any of the pine needles he was trying so ...

Shannon + Jud :: Stone Tower Estate Wedding in Stevensville Montana
After such an amazing/fun/unique engagement session with Shannon and Jud this past autumn, I knew their Stone Tower Estate wedding in Stevensville Montana would be equally as wonderful. And, no surprise, they didn't disappoint in the least. Shannon and Jud started off their day with a really fun first look (Jud's expression is just SO great!), and then we had fun making portraits with the two of them and their bridal party. And by fun, I mean LOTS of fun. Shannon, Jud and their friends and family are a great group and they definitely had themselves a good time as we made images together. (I'd also like to "shout out" the old chairs from ...
Zoe :: Seeley Lake Montana Senior Photos and Family Session
It's always so nice to photograph in locations that hold meaning to the people whose portraits I'm making, and it was especially fun for Zoe's Seeley Lake Montana senior photos since we got to photograph at her great grandparents' property in Seeley Lake. We started out our evening by making some sunny family portraits while everybody was together, and then off we dashed to the old barn to start Zoe's session. We had such a blast poking around that delightfully worn structure, balancing on fences, and Zoe even perched atop the ranch's old orange Chevrolet truck, too! (The color-lover in me was darn excited!) I loved that Zoe had so many ...
Katie + Anthony :: Rock Creek Montana Engagement Session
I have secretly always wanted to photograph a session at the legendary Rock Creek of Montana since I absolutely love camping that direction (and one of these days I want to learn how to fish it!). So when Katie and Anthony mentioned that they'd like a Rock Creek Montana engagement session, ooooooh boy! I was excited. Not only because of my aforementioned secret wish, but because I knew I'd have such a blast with these two. And we totally did. After what felt like days and days of rain, we somehow managed to luck into a dry spell (even though it was a fairly chilly day!), and had such a great time checking out the creek and surrounding ...
Lynn :: On the Summit Personal Branding Session in Missoula
From the moment Lynn contacted me about making images for her new Missoula business, "On the Summit," I knew we'd have a great time. She wanted natural images that speak to who she is and her love of the outdoors, and I think we captured that pretty darn well during her On the Summit Personal Branding Session in Missoula....and we had a heckuva lot of fun doing it! From giggling downtown whilst drinking coffee, to traipsing through wildflower fields, to splashing cool creek water, we had such a pleasant time capturing Lynn in some of her happiest places. Her husband, Juan, tagged along too, and could seriously have a side job as ...
Erin + Eric :: Ranch Club Wedding in Missoula
Erin and Eric are big golfers - so much so, that Eric proposed to Erin on the golf course he worked at in Hawaii, and then had their Ranch Club Wedding in Missoula, another great golf course. While we may not have had Hawaiian temperatures for their wedding day, the warmth of love and happiness surrounded everyone, despite the fact that it was a little breezy. Erin rode up to the aisle in a golf cart with her father, where she was then joined by her mother. There were a few tears, plenty of smiles, and a lot of happy celebration after Erin and Eric spoke their vows to one another and sealed it all with a kiss. We took advantage of the ...
