Sometimes things fall right into place

One things for sure, you never know just what life's going to throw at you. Sometimes you've got your plan and poof, it's gone. Take for instance my dearest friend's family. We had the stars align in their busy schedule for family pictures, leaving a two hour slot to get in and get out. When we thought we were getting sunshine and fall leaves; what we got was cold, bitter, SNOWY fall leaves. It turned out to be my favorite session to date. Maybe because they all wore their favorite hoodies, or the rare beauty of fall leaves dusted in snow, or maybe because this familiy is a family that has fun no matter what storm is trying to snow on their pictures.

Note to self: Be sure to ask participants whether they are afraid of heights before having significant other hoist into tree.

Just a small side story...after celebrating a significant anniversary I found out they did not have a wedding picture of just the two of them hanging in their house. Of course it became my personal mission to get an image of just the two of them for their walls. Sorry newleyweds, you ain't got nothin' on these two.

I love the second photo of mom and dad. The snow in her hair and their expressions make the photo just lovely.

Your photography moves me to tears! Thank you for capturing my family how I will always see them in my eyes no matter how old we all get! Thank you for braving the first snow and 20 degree weather. What an adventure. We will always treasure the day of that photo shoot as one of our most fun family outings!

These pictures make me feel warm inside even though we were freezing outside. And for those potential customers out there: If Kris can make our family look this good.. imagine what she could do for you:)

A million thanks again Kris!! Thank you for letting us "Meet Your Camera"! As always...you ROCK!

I bitterly miss snow... whenever we watch a movie where it's snowing, I start tearing up... (which makes the Christmas movie season a little bittersweet at our house). But these pictures combine the best: fall leaves AND snow! I'm very impressed with Montana's meteorological abilities!
