    Sometimes, even when you are so busy that a break seems like a bad idea, it’s good to get away. That is precisely how I went into our trip up to the Gravelly Mountain range near Ennis, MT that weekend. We headed out after work on Friday, making just a short stop at the grocery…

    With each passing year, I grow to dislike the days surrounding the 4th of July more and more. I usually have to work, get up early for our church service or various other random events.

    Back in June, Brent, Krista (my twin) and my good friend Katie all decided to take on the challenge of running the Jim Bridger Trail Run. This is a 10 mile trail race up in the nearby Bridgers.

    Several weeks back, Brent and I headed up to the mountains to try and make it to Hyalite Lake. With many attempts before, we didn’t know how the day would end.

    Every summer Brent and I make it a priority to check out the local Shakespeare in the Parks plays. They always put on two free summer plays and travel throughout Montana, Idaho and Wyoming.

    As I’ve mentioned, we have been shooting a few wedding this summer. Here’s a few pictures from the latest event. This one posed a few challenges.

    Finally! This is one hike I have attempted a few times now, and have had to turn around due to snow, high water or by losing the trail. We were invited up by some friends (these ones in fact) and had a great time on the 11 mile round trip trail. I’ll let the pictures…

    This post could also be titled “Brent finally uploads some photos!” We are so blessed to live in such a beautiful area. Yes, the winters can be long, but the wait is always worth it (plus winters are pretty too). Here is a smattering of various images from this summer.

    We have had the privilege of knowing this couple for a couple years now, and even had one of them as a roommate for a time. The wedding was performed in Corvallis, MT on a perfect summer day. Almost too perfect. As a photographer, you would like to have a few clouds in the sky,…

    Jess, the dog and I headed just outside Bozeman for the 4th of July holiday weekend to Battle Ridge campground. It is only about 45 minutes out and usually has several sites available. Due to the high camping volume of the weekend I headed up early to secure a spot. The last one.

    A couple weekends ago, Brent and I headed over to the Bitterroot Valley for our good friends wedding. We also were their wedding photographers. I am sure we will post a few pictures at some point. It was a fun weekend.

    Several weeks ago, Brent and I decided to wonder off in the mountains for a decent length hike after a Sunday service at Venture. We headed out in the early afternoon towards the Spanish Peaks. These are by far my favorite mountains that can be seen from the valley floor. We took an easy 7…
