Living in Montana

Winter Walk

Winters in Montana are stunning and beautiful, albeit at times pretty cold.  So, I decided to take a winter walk yesterday afternoon to spend a little time with my dog Yeshe and my camera.   Unfortunately I could not photograph the sunset because after a bit my camera battery got too cold and… good night camera!  Enjoy the view.

family time in NY

A few weeks ago I was in the Midwest. This week I am in the Northeast and I am loving the change of view. It’s family time for me around the US… and I have been flying around viewing life through the eyes of my family, young and old and reconnecting to our common roots. OH SO GOOD for this guy!
So take a look and may it bring appreciation of all family ties: yours, mine and others. Family is a great blessing!
With love in my heart.

Montana, Land of Rainbows

It seems that Livingston is Montana, Land of Rainbows! Many evenings this summer have been graced by rainbows. Here’s a little eye candy for you.  The odds are strong in favor of rainbow’s for wedding and portrait session this weekend.

It’s a busy weekend in Big Sky and Livingston… then it’s off to Flathead Lake for more image making at Flathead Lake Lodge.  fun…..

Living in Montana, floating the Yellowstone

So what is the activity of choice when I have a weekend off?  Floating the Yellowstone River in Paradise Valley.  This week my nephew Jason is visiting from Kansas City.  The fishing float was a gift from my good friend Derek DeYoung.  If you don’t know who Derek is and you love fishing and you love art, you should check it out. Derek DeYoung

Jason won the ‘best fish of the day’ award.  A 16 inch fatty Rainbow.  And I am happy to say that the fish still lives and thrives in the Yellowstone.

and oh yes, #meaningfultobehold

Christmas weddings in Montana

Just thought I’d share a little peak of the Bridger Mountains outside my studio this morning. NEW SNOW! Christmas music and sunshine is warming my work place up like nothing else. I’m off to Helena for a Christmas wedding at the Kleffner Ranch on Sunday and I can-not-wait!!! Jessica and Justin are getting hitched!

Then off to Big Sky next week for an intimate wedding at the Chapel. I love Christmas weddings, they remind of my own Christmas wedding to my sweet Heather.

Into the Joy of the season! Larry

Human nature of weddings

Today, I’ve been working on a wedding that I photographed a few weeks back. Several images surfaced as I was editing and they reminded me of the beautiful nature of weddings; the human nature of weddings, full of all the funny, beautiful, serious and sublime moments that we share.

I’m off to Flathead Lake in the morning to witness this meaningful tradition once again. And, once again I can’t wait to see what beautiful moments arise!

Enjoy!
