missy and jr, 2nd edition

Tonight I met up with Missy and JR for the second half of their engagement session. They really wanted their photos done with some mountains in the background, so we drove out to Ross Peak Ranch tonight with their doggie, Bridger, JR's guitar, the orange chair, and had ourselves a wonderful time! We weren't sure of the weather because it had started to storm and rain lightly before we left, but we went for it and got some yummy light!

Here is Bridger, who is a very sweet and obedient dog. He never went too far and posed when we asked him to and came after a few hollers . . .


Missy and JR started in on it pretty quickly :)






I loooove this photo, it is so 70's!


Not a bad spot to take an engagement photo in Montana!


This will make an awesome page in their photo guest book album I'm going to be designing for them. Guests have all that white space to sign their names and wish the couple happiness . . .










After doing this second shoot with Missy and JR, I can't stress enough how important it is to do a pre-wedding photo shoot. An engagement shoot is best, but even the rehearsal dinner gives you a chance to get a feel for how the photographer works and helps you just relax and be yourselves and be comfortable in the presence of the camera so that your photos are more natural come the big day. These two just immediately started working the camera, they were even more comfortable than last time. So imagine how amazing their wedding photos are going to be! ;)

Missy and JR, thanks for another super fun evening!
