Ashley, Adam, their daughter, Iris, and I all got together to make the most of this time of year and create some Missoula family photos of them just having a good time with one another, skipping rocks, giggling, running through the grass, dancing, and playing in the water. I love these types of sessions where everyone gets to just &#8220;be,&#8221; and enjoy interacting with their beautiful natural surroundings. Iris was such a happy camper, and loved exploring her surroundings &#8211; she especially had fun splashing in the water!<\/p>\n<p>Ashley, Adam and Iris! It was such a treat to be able to do this for you all, and I&#8217;m so glad we got to document a favorite part of Missoula for you before you hit the road for your big move! Here&#8217;s to grand new adventures for you all and always time for visits back to Montana, too!<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"http:\/\/kristinepaulsenphotography.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/11\/2014-11-23-Missoula-Montana-Family-Photographer_0001a.jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter size-full wp-image-5542\" src=\"http:\/\/kristinepaulsenphotography.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/11\/2014-11-23-Missoula-Montana-Family-Photographer_0001a.jpg\" alt=\"Skipping Rocks and Sharing Smiles :: Ashley, Adam and Iris's Missoula Family Photos -
