As seems to be the theme of this year in Montana, it was a little bit of a rainy day for Laura and Melinda's Holland Lake Lodge wedding. However, Mother Nature played nicely with us and decided to treat us to some sun just as the ceremony was about to start, much to everyone's excitement! Despite a few rain showers here and there, it really couldn't have been a more gorgeous day for Laura and Melinda to celebrate their love for one another. Everyone in attendance sported giant smiles (and a few tears, too) as Laura and Melinda shared their vows, promises, laughter and love with one another, cloud-encircled mountains in the ...

Melissa, Sean + Emma :: Missoula Family and Baby Photos
I was just so gosh darn excited when Melissa contacted me to ask about making some photos of her, her husband, Sean, and their 2-month-old baby girl, Emma for their Missoula family and baby photos while they were in town visiting! We'd had such a great time together capturing their wedding day, so I knew the photos with their newest little addition would be such a treat! As was the theme this summer, we had to dodge some raindrops (and some thunder, which safely stayed far, far away from us), but everyone handled it beautifully. It turns out that Emma seemed to really love the Montana breeze on her adorable smiling cheeks and blowing ...
Carson :: Missoula Urban Summer Senior Session
It's no secret that I love, love, LOVE photographing senior sessions. And Carson's Missoula urban summer senior session definitely fit the bill! He, his mom, Kelli, and I all had a great time meandering around Missoula, finding the best little nooks and crannies, and enjoying quite a lot of laughter together as we made Carson's photos. (Big shout out to Kelli for being a most excellent photo assistant and toting around Carson's clothing changes!) Carson is a senior at Sentinel High School this year and he's been involved in track, football and soccer. Though as of right now he's taking a break from sports to focus more on ...
Laura + Melinda :: Summertime Couple’s Session
I had the pleasure of photographing Laura and Melinda's summertime couple's session just a few days before their wedding date at Holland Lake Lodge. I was so eager to meet them after having chatted with them back and forth for a while talking about their wedding day plans, and we really couldn't have been treated to a more gorgeous day for their more causal images prior to their wedding day celebration. Melinda, especially, was super happy to be back in Montana and creating photos here, since she had spent quite a bit of time in Hamilton when she worked there previously. Montana treated the two of them to the most splendid of summer days - ...
Danielle + Clay :: Intimate Gibson Mansion Wedding
I knew the moment that Danielle and I first started chatting on the phone that we'd have such a wonderful time working together at her intimate Gibson Mansion wedding in Missoula. And that really is such a huge understatement because she and Clay are the sweetest of people with such big hearts. They both grew up and live in Casper, Wyoming, but knew they wanted more of a destination wedding and the Gibson Mansion fit the bill perfectly for them. They love food so they celebrated their day with both a tasty brunch as well as a scrumptious dinner. Their wedding ceremony was early that morning, and, as weather this year would have it, it ...
