Fontaine Heaton Family Session | Missoula Family Photographer

I love it when families come together for the holidays, but this is so much more! This is actually two families merging together to make one!

I've been doing family pictures for both of these families for a couple of years, and FINALLY I'm getting to do a family session for all of them at once! Yes indeed this was an Engagement/Family Christmas session! It was so much fun! Living in Missoula, home of the Montana Grizzlies, this family showed their Griz pride by doing their session on the Oval of the University of Montana campus.

Enjoy the fun and love shared by this beautiful family!

This session is a blessing to my heart. I met this family 2 years ago when they were up in Montana visiting family and friends just before Lucas was deployed with the ARMY.

Now all home and safe and sound, back together, this beautiful family was back in town and I had the best and most wonderful pleasure of getting to do another session for them!

The summer here in Montana has been very warm, but it made it possible to head down to a quiet little campground on the Bitterroot River and we walked out into the middle of it on a little island and had the greatest time just talking and laughing as we did the session, and I chased little Beau around trying to get "just one!" LoL!

Operation Love: ReUnited - Missoula Family

It seems that the weather likes to try my endurance when it comes to Operation Love sessions, but I'm always blessed with the sweetest families that are willing to deal with our crazy Montana weather.

Today's OpLove session was done with the proud papa of a beautiful 7 month old baby girl, son, and gorgeous wife! Home on leave for 2 weeks, this family made special time in the schedules for me to come and do this session on the campus of the University of Montana. In true Montana form, we enjoyed the "Big Sky" and the crazy wind that came with it! Thanks for being so awesome L and R!

Project 52: Week 13 - Just for Fun

We all need a little relaxation time. A time to gather with our friends, let loose of the weight of the world, and just have a little fun.

Busy Week!

Busy week... more like busy month!

It's been wonderful though, and its making me very excited for the new year! Here is a StoryBoard (thank you Elena from EW Couture!!!) of the beautiful E-session that I just finished up today! This two are real gems, and SO LOVELY together!




And another one of my cute brother in law and his sweet girl (and my friend!), Alex!



I'll be taking the rest of this week off to finish preparing for Christmas. I'm actually more excited for AFTER Christmas because my sister is coming home for leave from the Navy on the 29th. It is indeed... going to be a great New Year!

So till the next session... Merry Christmas, and a Happy New Year!

Catching up...

Hey everyone. Sorry its been so long since I've updated this. It's hard to keep up with one's self during the Christmas season, and it seems that my poor lil blog took the brunt of it.

But, old year behind us, new year before us... lots of changes happening and most of them quite exciting. =)

December was a good month for me. Lots of opportunity to take precious memories and turn them into a Christmas card so that it could be shared by all.

Here's as look at what December held for me:
