Let me rephrase that.... especially photographers need their portraits taken!

Tuesday was a fabulous "work" day. The fabulous miss Morgan Roof and I headed to Livingston to meet up with Larry Stanley and a handful of other talented local photographers at Melanie Nashan's studio. We had some nice photo chat.. discussed the economy... and generally reconnected before all of us head into the craziness of wedding season. The longer I am in this industry, the more I love and appreciate my fellow wedding photographers. Morgan is new to the industry and has jumped in feet first! Her talent has blossomed in a very short amount of time. She has become one of the most sought after photographers in the valley! Not only do her photographs glow and impress, so does her personality. She is a delight to work with and we are quickly becoming, not to sound too cheesy, kindred spirits!

Larry, Morgan and I decided that we all need a new portrait, so we headed over to Larry and my studio in Bozeman for our rotating 3-way photo shoot. It is always great to get on the other side of the camera. We photogs forget how strange and kind of uncomfortable it is to have a camera in your face!

Morgan just posted some pics of me from the shoot on her blog. Check em out! She did an amazing job!

Miss Morgan Roof thinks she needs more modeling practice, but I think otherwise! She is extremely photogenic and the true Morgan definitely shined through.

Her you go girl... hope you likely :)  LOVE YOU!

Few people know that I do other types of photography other than weddings. Lately, I've been doing lots of interiors and commercial work. Last week I had the pleasure of spending the day at the Double T River Ranch photographing their new cabins and amazing barn and I also shot some cool luggage from the company Timbuk2. I'll be blogging these new photos in the next week.

In the meantime, here are some photos I shot I did for the Interiors department at Pearson Design Group. This is at one of their houses in the Yellowstone Club. They are "small stories" that these amazing girls, Eleana Montoya (left)and Rain Turrell (right) put together to promote their branch, hand picking out every detail and color scheme.
