So, when Kristeen called to tell me she and Colt were in Missoula, visiting from their home base in Hawaii, and that they had decided they wanted to take advantage of the snow we had here to do some fun portraits, I was completely game.<\/p>\n<p>We all carpooled together up to <a title=\"Sky Ridge Ranch - Ronan, Montana\" href=\"http:\/\/www.skyridgemontana.com\/\" target=\"_blank\">Sky Ridge Ranch<\/a> (which is where they&#8217;ll be getting married this summer &#8211; such a beautiful venue!), and decided to tromp around in the snow and make the most of the white-capped mountain peaks for their portraits. We had some great ranch horse photobombs, experienced a crazy little mini squall with whipping winds, and then some beautiful, bright sun during our shoot. And, of course, a lot of laughs as well.<\/p>\n<p>Thank you again, you two, for braving that cold, cold wind! It was so much fun getting to photograph you and get to know you even more on our drive to and from the ranch. Can&#8217;t WAIT for your wedding day!<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"http:\/\/kristinepaulsenphotography.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/02\/2014-02-26-Missoula-Montana-Engagement-Photography_0001.jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter size-full wp-image-4198\" alt=\"Winter in the Mountains -
