I titled this blog “Montana Spring Engagement Session”. What I should have titled it was “Winter Spring Engagement Session”. It was FREEZING. Poor Bryce had just gotten home from Afghanistan and was being such a trooper in the almost eighty degree temperature difference. But did I hear one complaint out of him? Nope. He was […]

When you get a shoot like this, you wake up the next morning almost in awe that it even happened. It was a beautiful spring day when I drove up to the Graybill’s home. Although windy, the sun was pouring down its warmth as I walked up the steps of their turn of the century […]

Montana weddings. Pretty tough not to love them. I have driven through Plains, Montana hundreds of times on my way to visit my parents in Sandpoint, Idaho. Never did I think I would ever have a wedding there. That was until I got a message from a dear college friend, Marie, who asked me if […]

Engagement sessions in winter can be interesting…and fairly painful… That’s why you have a car (running with the heater full-blast) about 10 feet away from you at all times.

These two. They met over extra tickets to a college football game, and their love grew ever since. Zach and Kara met me at his family’s business in downtown Missoula on a bright and crisp autumn morning. The sky was clear blue and the leaves looked like confetti covering the quiet city streets on a […]

Okay. To be perfectly honest…I was HOPING these two would call me to be their wedding photographer after I had met them almost to the day, one year ago. On that day, I was taking photos of his sweet sister, in the crisp autumn air in what would turn out to be, a wedding where […]

The morning of the wedding, we all woke up to what we were hoping to be a dream…overcast skies, 60 degrees with rain in the forecast. Not what you would hope for a wedding day in August. Just days earlier, I encouraged Dani to not look at the weather forecast—there was nothing she could do […]

We drove through the rolling Montana hills, each one speckled with one tiny town after another. The air was hot and kids in each town could be seen running through sprinklers and eating ice cream on curbs. Our grey four-runner was packed to the gills with suitcases, baby gear, and camera equipment. I had been looking […]
