We are in a whirlwind of preparations for several (very cool) bridal events this month, but I wanted to take a minute to put up another blog for everyone! This post takes us back to fall, and the very last day of colorful leaves. We had such an awesome time hanging out with Ryan, (and dragging him all over the valley) for his photos. You don’t get much more laid back or “Montana” than this guy, as you can see from his easy smile and fishing pole…

Ryan, we wish you all the best in your senior year and in the many years to come! Enjoy!

As a photographer, it is so easy to get into a rut of shooting things the way that I always shoot things. For this reason, I love hanging out and shooting with other photogs, especially Chris & Jeremiah, (who both photographed at Kathy’s & my wedding). Jeremiah & I rode up together to Helena where Erin did Ashley’s makeup and then we were off to the woods where we just couldn’t get enough time before the sun went down (which was early being only 4 days from the shortest day of the year). We finally ended up in the studio shooting against a grey seamless backdrop using tricks learned from Zach Arias to turn the backdrop white. Thanks Chris for inviting me up for the day. You can see Chris’ images here and Jeremiah’s here.

It’s amazing how quickly the summer season changes to fall in Bozeman. Just a few weeks ago it was sunny and warm, and now, overnight it seems, there is a chill to the air and we’re all pulling out our warm clothes. Along with the colder weather comes a whole new seasonal need for photography – high school senior portraits. Both Josh and I love photographing with seniors – getting to take time to individually capture a person at this stage in life is so fun.

All that to say, we met with Ben this past week for his senior session, and just had a blast. He is very laid back, quick to smile, and seems to be one of those people that just puts others at ease. We aimed for some more industrial style settings for Ben, but also got to take advantage of one of the few days we still had fall colors. Hope you enjoy them – let us know your favorites!

Ben, it was awesome photographing with you – good luck in the upcoming year!

We took our beautiful friend Megan out this past week for a several hour portrait session – she was incredible to work with – thanks again, Meg! We got some killer photos, and were also able to use some of our new lighting equipment – very cool! Let Megan know which are your favorites…enjoy!

On a last minute whim we snagged one of our friend’s younger brothers for a short portrait session this Saturday. We’re mixing it up with some new lighting techniques, and are very happy with what we’re getting. Let us know which ones are your favorites, and keep your eye out for more portrait sessions popping up soon. Thanks again, Bryan!
