I remember sitting down with Holly at Cafe Dolce at our very first meeting to chat all things wedding, and instantly falling in love with her happy, down-to-earth personality (and her super beautifully unique engagement ring!!). I couldn’t wait for the snow to come to finally meet her fiancé, Greg, and get the two of them in front of my lens! Winter took a while to make it’s appearance around here…

2016 brought about some amazing things in both my business and personal life – from getting published in a handful of magazines, both regional and national, to integrating film into my workflow, to buying our first house, and finding out I was…

Hey friends! Loooong time no see! It’s been over a month since I have blogged any sessions, and a few weeks since I’ve posted any new content on my Facebook or Instagram. That’s way too long for a business that heavily relies on the reach of social media! 

Hopefully I still have a few followers out there that haven’t completely given up on me – and hopefully this post will bring comfort to someone who is dealing with the same struggles I am nearing the end of a busy work season….

Kristin and I met in 2013 at Rocky Mountain School of Photography. We were in the same group for the Summer Intensive course, and instantly hit it off! After spending almost every spare moment together in class, shooting outside of class, and going out for dinner and drinks, I guess you could say that we ended up pretty darn close. 😉

I was so excited when she contacted me about doing some bridal portraits of her and her new hubby, Derick. We went out to Lee Metcalf Wildlife Refuge and enjoyed the perfect sunset light (and maybe a few billion mosquitos)! 

When I asked Vianna how she met Derick, she said “Well, he pretty much slept with all of my brothers…” Then she laughed, and explained that Derick and her brothers

On Sunday afternoon sometime around 2:00pm, a forest fire erupted near Hamilton, only 10 miles from where I live. In a matter of only a few short hours, the blaze had overcome 500 acres, growing bigger by the minute, and residents of the area were thrown into Stage 2 mandatory evacuations. (Timelapse VIDEO) For some, there was only enough time to grab their pets, maybe a few valuable belongings, open gates for their livestock, and leave their homes behind hoping and praying that by some miracle it would still be standing when they returned. 

I’m getting old.

I remember when LaRee was a tiny little thing, running down the hallway laughing hysterically because she had her sister’s underwear on her head… anyone that’s reading this and knows her, knows that this was a normal occurrence in her household when she was a little girl!
