Evie and I had to reschedule her shoot several times because the world just seemed to be conspiring against us. But, as they say, the third time’s the charm!

And I swear, it was kismet that we ended up shooting on the day that we did because everything aligned perfectly. We were treated to a warm afternoon, golden glowy light (that she loves!), and we still managed to find some fall colors to include in her photos, too.

Evie is happiest when she’s spending time in nature and hiking, so we made sure that vibe was incorporated in her photos. We made the absolute most of it, and had so much fun meandering through the forest together, and hitting up golden fields to catch the last rays of light for the day.

In between photos Evie told me she’s loving her AP bio class so far this year, and is SUPER excited for graduation. She’s a creative soul at heart and loves to paint and draw.

Reading is another favorite pastime of hers (she’s big into historical fiction), as well as running, dancing, and playing the piano.

After graduation she’s hoping to pursue a degree in English Literature and is thinking about attending Macalaster College in Minnesota.

Evie! What a blast it was to (finally!) get to meet you (and your mom) and make these images together! You did such an outstanding job, have the best positive energy, and I just know you’re going to love your next adventure in college. Cheers to you and your senior year! Can’t wait to share more images soon. 😊

Happy Halloween from me and my tiny jack-o’-lantern! 🎃 Bobbin’s costume was kind of a spur of the moment thing since life is lifing HARD for me right now, but I’m so glad I took the time to make this.

I used fabric from my stash again, and Bobbin was a champ and let me wrap it around him to make sure it fit his tiny body perfectly. AND, don’t ask me how, but he even wore that little pumpkin top/fascinator thingie I made for a few photos. (Plying him with chia seeds definitely helped, haha!)

Color me ultra impressed. 🧡

He ran around in his little pumpkin outfit, too (swipe through to see the video), which… I dunno… always melts me. A little bird in a little costume, bouncing away as his little feet zip across my living room? I’m total mush.

Anywho… hope you’re all having a safe, fun Halloween!

What an absolutely magical morning it was for Christine and Levi! But let’s not bury the lede — she said YES!

It was so fun working with Levi these past few weeks to make sure his proposal was everything he’d hoped it would be.

He was in town helping Christine pack up from her season working at Paws Up, and wanted to propose while they were both in Missoula before heading back to Florida together.

And wow — what an awesome morning it was! We had a little bit of fog rolling through to make things extra ethereal, and that light was *chef’s kiss* beautiful… but none of it held a candle to the joy and happiness and love Christine and Levi so clearly feel for one another.

Thanks again, you two, for braving the chilly morning and just going with the flow as we made these images together. I’m so darn happy for you both, and I’m wishing you a lifetime of happiness. Here’s to being engaged, and I hope you enjoyed a wonderful celebratory dinner tonight!

Yes, Bobbin has manners. Just turn your sound up to hear ‘em. 🥰🩵💚

Also. Please pay ZERO attention to the human in this video and my post-shower hair and general disheveled state. 🫣 It’s that cute lil feathery nugget who’s the real star.

Last night’s recipe for awesomeness: mix a perfect autumn evening with gorgeous light, add two happy pups, a dash of magenta hair and a whole lot of laughter. Mix together well, and have fun for 90 minutes and change. Yield: a whole BUNCH of really rad senior photos.

That’s exactly what we did for Quinn’s senior pictures last night, and it was absolutely everything!

Quinn loves spending time going on long walks with her pups, so it was imperative that they make an appearance in her photos. And what good little pups they were, too!

As we walked and talked, Quinn told me that after graduation, she’s planning on going to college in Michigan where she’ll pursue a degree in agroecology, and ideally get her CNA as well. Her dream would be to have her own apple orchard, since she’s been enamored with them for years.

Quinn! Thank you again for such a fun session — I loved getting to meet you and hang out with you, your dogs, and your mom (kudos to her for being our most excellent assistant and dog wrangler!).

Here’s to a very bright future ahead — filled with lots of apples (perhaps you’ll invent some new varieties!) and many a long walk. Happy senior year!

I've been building websites since I was a nerdy teenager hand-writing HTML (full disclosure: I am still very much a nerd). But the ones I made at 16 were literally used as an example of what NOT to do. (Oof! Let’s chalk that experience up to some good, ol’ fashioned character building. 😅)��The good news is that the redesigned one is live, and it's a LOT easier to find what you're looking for (and lightyears better than what I was hacking together at 16).

So go wander, click around, and tell me what you think.

(P.S. it’s more fun to play with on a computer or laptop, but your phone works perfectly fine too.)
