Avon Family!

Photos from the Gravely-Get-Together last weekend in Hamilton. The whole family from Avon came up; here is Erin and Will's side (they're awfully cute).

Kevin

Here are some photos from my senior photography session with Kevin at Ennis Lake. It is beautiful out there, I can't believe I haven't explored it before! I will definitely be going back to shoot some landscapes some time in my life. The weather cooperated quite well for us; it was 70 degrees and very sunny, whereas the weekend before was snowing and cold. I love love love the chimney Kevin showed us. Plus it helped that the clouds were cool that day...

Grotto Falls

Hiking in Hyalite up to Grotto Falls and playing with my new lens (which I have to send back because it won't focus when extended all the way). Pretty hike, good company (my best friend and fiance) and an overall good day. I think I need a UV filter or polarizer...the sky looks a little empty...

Montana State University Libraries Photo Shoot

I have been asked to help out with creating the Montana State University Libraries Christmas card (they were getting tired of the same type of card). We collaborated some different ideas that would illustrate Christmas (non-religious), Montana and possibly libraries. Here are my favorite images from the project, all in black and white (because I like them better that way). This card will be distributed to about 2000 people and my name will be on the back :) Exciting! I had another idea where cowboy hats were hung with a Santa hat, but they did not turn out at all. I might have to re shoot the idea for fun. I meet with everyone tomorrow to see how they like the images I have and to discuss contract and usage stuff. Oh the life of a busy photographer.

Glass House Photo Walk at Abandoned Ranch

Images from the Glass House Women's Photography Group Photography Walk. We drove to an abandoned ranch and walked around avoiding rattlesnakes. I love old things and their textures...and black and white filters on Photoshop...
