McCormick Family Session | Missoula Family Photographer

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!

Jayden Senior Session | Missoula Senior Photographer

Jayden is a senior in Florence, and already is aiming high! I had a great time talking with him about his goals for his senior year, and where he wants to go on to college too and what's he's planning on doing! He's got a great outgoing personality and it really shined in his images!

Set in the beautiful sunset of Florence, we had a fun time scouting out fun spots on location at the Florence High School.

Cheers! ~Trina

Stone Family Surrogacy Fund

I have shivers going up my spine right now.

My dearest childhood friend, Ali, and her husband Brian, want so bad to have a baby... But they can't. Due to medical conditions, Ali is unable to carry a baby, so that only leaves them with a couple options. But God has blessed them with the option of surrogacy. Her friend, Caryn, offered herself up as a surrogate.

But there is sooo much planning and medical work-ups that go into this, and the military doesn't cover hardly anything at all.

They need our help... whatever little we can offer, for the opportunity to have this miracle.

Here's Ali and Brian's blog: http://pathtoourmiracle.blogspot.com/2012/08/making-it-happen.html

If you have any special talents that you would be able to donate or give to their cause, it would be greatly appreciated!

Here's a few images that I had done for them as a part of the Operation Love: ReUnited program:

I hope their story finds a way into your hearts, where we can make a difference! If nothing else, if you could just leave a little love on their blog to let them know you care, even that is a LARGE blessing in these two families lives!

Thank you and cheers!

Sadie + Evan | Missoula Engagement Photographer

This session holds a very special place in my heart.

I grew up with Sadie... I actually used to teach her and my baby sister in VBS way back in the day, and I watched her grow up through-out high school, chattering with her at Rod's Harvest Foods as we both plugged along through life in St. Ignatius. Then... she hit college and I did a session for her on the U of M campus and told her "when your boyfriend comes for his next visit, let me know and we'll do a session!"

Well... that for fun session actually turned into a "We're Engaged!!!!" session!!!! What a blessing this is to my heart. To see such a sweet girl get such a champion of a boy for a fiance'! I'm so happy for this incredibly sweet couple! Happy Day Sadie and Evan!!!

BLOG UPDATE EXREME!

haha! It's been too long I know.... I'm horrible about sharing on my poor blog, but HOPEFULLY! these fun collages make up for it!

This past spring since coming back from Vegas I've had alot of really fun and beautiful sessions! Missoula always blesses me with the most spectacular backdrops!

This stunning young lady came all the way from Helena for a Modeling Profile session! We had such a great time wandering downtown, and the best part is her friend came with her getting in on the fun of it all as well!

I've had the privilege to photograph this beautiful gem before, and this time was the session was even better because her sweetheart got to come with her! Briana and Rick have such an amazing chemistry that they seriously couldn't take anything less then a romantic picture! We made use of the cherry blossoms, and the scenery of the RiverFront Park <3's
