Joy and her kiddos (plus a niece) on a chilly autumn day. It was such a fun afternoon to capture the love and adventure of this cute family!

Michael & Samantha

I had the wonderful opportunity of taking engagement photos of a dear friend. I'm so very excited for her and the new life she will be starting with the man she loves. Congrats Michael & Samantha!!!!

Siyeh Pass

I've been meaning to post...I have so many pictures to show you but tragically I keep putting it off. However, I couldn't put off these. I went on a hike in Glacier National Park yesterday afternoon with some friends and it was breathtaking! It was a 10 mile round trip loop over Siyeh Pass just east of Logan Pass.

Busy Summer Lineup and other musings

I know, I haven't posted a picture in, like, FOREVER! I've been meaning too. It's not that I haven't taken any pictures. I have. Really. I've just been so busy. "really Kim, you can't take 5 min and post one little picture to let the world know you're still there?"
Yeah, I probably could but the thing is I never think of it!
Last summer I did so much with photography. I shot three weddings and family pictures and I don't have one single booking this summer! (which I'm actually bummed about). But......it's a blessing in disguise.

Here's Why.

I'm an artist (watercolorist) and a photographer. First and foremost, I'm the painter. And this summer is the summer of painting. I've been really trying hard to get into a gallery and to act like my art is more than just a hobby or passing fad. So, I've gotten a smart phone so I can accept credit cards, I'm doing another art fair, I've gotten new display units for my outdoor tent, I'm reframing/matting pieces that look old and tired in their current housings and painting like a CRAZY bored woman!
The whole summer is booked. I have one weekend in July available and all of August is booked doing some art event of one kind or another.
It's going to be a B U S Y summer. That is for sure!
Every spare moment I have, I've been getting ready. The first art fair is in July. Summerfair in Billings, MT. This is the third year I've done this fair and I'm very excited about it. I LOVE THIS SHOW!

Soooooooo I should be posting some photos soon. I promise. And who knows, maybe when the art fair stuff calms down a bit, I'll get to shoot another wedding. I really hope so. I love being able to document such a special day!

Skijoring

One of the many events of the Whitefish Winter Carnival is that of Skijoring. Skijoring is an event where skiers hold on to a rope and are pulled through a course of poles and jumps by someone on horseback.
The World Championships are held during the WWC and draws a large crowd to watch the many participaters. There are different categories based on ability and the animal pulling. This year was the first year to include Mules...the winner then being able to declare "Best Ass in the World!"

A New Year...in Glacier!!!

My Best friend came up to spend New Year's with me and we went hiking in Glacier. We had planned to go Snowshoeing but there wasn't enough to snowshoe on but we still had a blast. We explored an area south of the past just past West Glacier and then explored around Lake McDonald.
