There’s nothing quite as perfect as a sunny Montana evening hanging out with two fantastic people, and Hannah and Laura’s Stevensville Montana engagement session certainly lived up to that description! Technically, Hannah and Laura were married this past September, so this was more of a “belated” engagement session, but still, absolutely just as fun.

We started out by photographing them with their dog, Dorothy, and their cat, Sherman – who are both just a cute as bugs in a rug, and clearly in adoration of their parents. Dorothy was one happy lady, and was pretty excited about the whole session and Sherman acted like he’d been born for his closeup as he slayed the camera with his mesmerizing eyes.

Sherman and Dorothy held the fort down as Hannah, Laura and I dashed off in search of mountains and sunshine (which, in these parts, is not at all difficult to find). Soon we were walking through the woods, bathed in that luscious evening light, and literally laughing ourselves silly. We cracked up as we momentarily got “lost” in the woods (some of us are somewhat directionally-challenged – haha!), giggled upon surprise discoveries in fallen logs, and generally just had a great time chatting as we wandered from spot to spot. It’s a complete understatement to say that Hannah and Laura are such a blast and so much fun. And I swear, my cheeks hurt from smiling after we had finished our session. (Always a good sign!)

Hannah and Laura (and Dorothy and Sherman, too!) – thank you again for such a wonderful session! It’s always a treat to get to hang out with you, and I loved getting to make images of the two of you again! Yay for fantastic, funny, sunny evenings! :)

On the docket: elopements, weddings and more portraits!

Cheers!
