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!

Bozeman Engagement Photographers – Rachel & Zach Engaged!

This family is the cutest!  Rachel and Zach are getting married next summer and we couldn’t be more excited to play a role in their big day!  They are getting married at one of the prettiest hidden lakes in Montana, but we are going to keep it a secret for now. ;)  For their engagement session we headed to Bridger Bowl Ski Area and enjoyed hiking around the ski runs in the fall season.  We can’t wait to hit the slopes at Bridger Bowl with these three this winter and swing by Burger Bob’s for a greasy cheeseburger after!

Isn’t this fall season just the best? Lattes, pumpkin chocolate chip cookies, crunchy leaves- we just love being Bozeman Engagement Photographers!

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.
