The Best of 2016

2016 was a great year for us!  We shot 5 weddings, 3 engagement sessions, 7 commercial shoots, 2 video productions, 49 portrait sessions, 3 seniors sessions, 1 newborn, 1 maternity and 4 fitness shoots!  Wow!  We started the year by welcoming our little Ela into the world and ended it by celebrating her 1 year birthday.  This was our 2nd year in business here in Montana.  As you can see, we shot more portraits than we did weddings.  Next year we have more weddings booked and we are excited to get even more.  Alicia became my full time 2nd shooter.  There are several of her shots in here:)   We had 3 limited edition mini sessions that were so much fun!  The spring session ended up raining, so we went with it for some adorable rainy day photos with umbrellas.  We photographed the new Miss Montana and her family, a new and upcoming musician, 5 high school juniors before prom.  We photographed the Lavender festival in Missoula.  We made it back to Ohio for an AWESOME Indian wedding and a few family shoots there.  At the end of summer, we organized a stylized wedding shoot at The Barn at the Ranch Club and worked with some amazing vendors.  Jesse taught a summer intensive class for the Rocky Mountain School of Photography and mentored several of the students.  I was selected to do the portfolio reviews at The Rocky Mountain School of Photography as well.  We ended the year with our Holiday mini sessions and were pleasantly surprised with 50 degree weather the 2 days after Thanksgiving!  We met wonderful people and made friends in the process.  We are so thankful to all of you who trusted us to capture the special time in your life.  We are excited for all that 2017 has for us and look forward to working with you!

Thank you for a great year!!

Sarah & Forest | Winter Photos in Missoula

Here are a few photos from our photos session with our friends Sarah and Forest. We met them through the Rocky Mountain School of Photography. Sarah will be capturing some day-in-the-life images of our family later this year.  We are excited for that and will look forward to sharing them with you.  These two have been a bright spot for us since we moved back to Missoula.  Their family has been instrumental in creating a vibrant photography community in our favorite city.  We had a great time with you and hope this brings back some good memories:)

Merry Christmas to you both:)

Family portraits are special

Its that time of year.  You know, they start coming one by one in the mail…  Holiday cards! It is a way for you to update your friends and family on your own growing family with a beautiful picture.  Since moving back to Montana, I especially love getting cards from my friends in Ohio because I haven’t seen their family in a year.

Having your family portraits done once a year is also a great way to document your family year by year.  Our oldest daughter is now almost 17!  It is so special for us to be able to go back through the years and see how she has grown and how we have added to our family.  Each year the children change and to be able to have those memories visible to cherish is truly a priceless gift.

Family portraits are special.  They are a legacy of who your family was for future generations to enjoy.  Once printed and hung in our homes they are a daily reminder of our family as a whole and who we are together.  It shows the people that come into our homes what we are at our best:)

Right now is the perfect time to get your family portraits taken, and to get Holiday cards out in time for your friends and family to enjoy and admire.  The deadline for ordering cards to have back in time to mail is December 5.  We are also offering a give-away until then.

25 FREE cards with any package purchase.

Don’t wait… book your session today!
