Rebecca and Mark.....Their engagement session.

Rebecca and Mark drove over from Spokane to the Bozeman area to work on their wedding plans and to take some engagement portraits. Fortunately, and unfortunately it was about to rain when they arrived at the ranch to do the photo shoot. The fortunate thing was the light was perfect in my mind. No harsh shadows to deal with, even tones.....the unfortunate part was the wind was picking up and we literally had to run ahead of the rain. We shot in a few different locations and I think the photos really look beautiful.

Taking photographs of people interests me on so many different levels. Perhaps the most important is that I am helping to create a family history for the people in front of the camera but also for the people who love them. Secondly it is a study of human nature and interaction. I love seeing the non verbal communication people share with each other. When I am scrolling through 25 photos that I snapped within half a minute you get to see subtle changes that people make in their facial expressions and body language that I believe shares a lot of information about their personalities and their relationship with each other.

So here are a few of my favorites. If you follow the blog you will notice that I stole Keegan's idea in this first photo. I loved what she did last week with Kristi and Craig that I had to do it. (Now I have to ask her to do it with a photo of me and my husband.!)


I just got scolded by Barbel again about my inability to color correct properly. THIS IS WHY I HAVE BARBEL AND CINDY DO ALL OF MY COLOR CORRECTING for me except for the blogging that I do at weird hours of the day and night. Here is the same photo above but how Barbel thinks it should look. I hate to admit it but she is right.

Right beside the calving shed we took these shots. I love the red and the sequence of these shots. We drove down to the Yellowstone River. Within a matter of a few seconds you can be on the river bank. I love our little town!


Since it was raining I suggested that we go to the Coffee Xing to take some photos inside. I love the reflection of the post office in the photo.


Mark wanted to do some photos with his cowboy hat and I love this spot on the bench in front of the Owl.

Rebecca and Mark, taking your photos was so easy and fun! I can't wait to take your wedding photographs next year, just about this same time!
