Big Sky Photographer – The Scheidt Family

Family portrait sessions in the winter can be so much fun!  We were blessed with the perfect combo of above freezing weather, fresh snow and a beautiful backdrop.  The Scheidt family travels to a ski destination from Illinois every year and Big Sky has become one of their favorites.  I was so excited to workout my schedule so I could go be a Big Sky photographer for a day!  I love an excuse to make the quick 45-minute drive through the canyon and up to one of the most glorious places.  What a great idea to plan a photoshoot while you are on vacation with your whole family in a winter wonderland environment!

If you are reading this and have never made a trip out to Big Sky, Montana, you gotta go!  It is certainly one of my favorite ski destinations with no lift lines, tons of terrain for all levels (coined “The Biggest Skiing in America”), and you can ski off the very tip-top of the mountain, Lone Peak.  I should probably mention that it’s where Roy and I got married so my opinion may be a little biased. ;)

Bozeman Engagement Photography – Sammi & Jeremy Engaged!

My best friend is engaged!  Sammi got engaged to a man who simply adores her.  How could he not? She is adorable!  These two drove over from Missoula, Montana for their Bozeman engagement photography shoot this month.  Sammi’s dream was to ice skate during her shoot- so we made that happen, along with strolling around downtown.

I won’t be photographing their wedding day (I’m a bridesmaid!), so it was an honor to be asked to shoot their engagement session in Bozeman for them.  I met my dearest Sammi back in Oregon at our freshman year in college.  In fact, we met the very first day of school because she lived right across the hall from me! About three quarters into our freshman year, I decided I was going to transfer to the University of Montana and yep, convinced Sammi to do the same.  Skip forward several years and now she is marrying a Montana boy.  I am one happy friend!

Sammi is a gem and so is Jeremy.  And together, they sparkle! Don’t you think? :)

Bozeman Family Photographer – The Scott’s

Wouldn’t everyone agree that fall in Bozeman, Montana was absolutely gorgeous this year?!  We got the perfect balance of cold days and warm days.  When it was brisk out we would cozy up with some hot soup and get excited about skiing and on warm days we would pretend it was still summer with flip flops and bike rides. Cheers to fall in Montana (with your choice of a pumpkin spice latte, red wine, black coffee or a mug of chili)!

Julie and Jon had just celebrated their one year wedding anniversary and they asked me to capture some photos of them during this season of their life.  It was so fun getting to know these two and being their local Bozeman family photographer.  This time of year is so much fun for us, as we transition out of weddings and into portrait sessions to make some keepsake family photos for Christmas cards!  I will be sharing some more sessions soon. Enjoy Julie and Jon’s family portrait session in Bozeman!

Montana Wedding Photographer in Seattle – Alison & Scott Engaged!

We love to travel and love to photograph couples in LOVE.  When Alison and Scott wanted me to come to Seattle for their engagement session I was thrilled!  They are getting married next January in Whitefish, Montana (one of our favorite places to shoot winter weddings) and I was so grateful when they decided to have me out to Seattle to meet them and bop around the city for some photos.  We walked everywhere and had such a great evening.  Now that 90% of our weddings are in the great sate of Montana it is nice to switch it up completely and photograph a couple on the city streets.  Being Montana wedding photographers, the “city streets” definitely differ from here to there!  Their enthusiasm and love for Seattle was so fun to capture.  Thanks again Alison and Scott for showing me around your city! We will be looking forward to your winter wedding in Whitefish.

Bozeman Senior Portrait Photographer – Brooke Class of 2016

When Brooke contacted me to do her senior photos, I was so stoked!  I know her from when she was an 8th grader and she went on a trip to Washington, D.C. with my dad’s company Global Travel Alliance.  Roy and I were both on that trip doing some guiding and photography and we got to know Brooke a little bit! Time really flies, because now she is about to conquer high school!  We did her pictures right near summer solstice, so we had do get up super early (like 5am!) to get the good light.  Thanks Brooke for being up for anything.  It was a blast hitting the hills of Bozeman with you and fancying up a little bit downtown. Enjoy your photos!

Do you need a photographer for your senior photos Class of 2016?  We are currently booking senior sessions in the Gallatin Valley!  Talk to Brooke, she will let you know how much fun we had- and how easy it was! :)  Contact us here to book us as your Bozeman senior portrait photographer.
