1. I'm a MOM! Ok, so many of you out there reading this probably already know I'm a mom... but I couldn't help but mention my beautiful 4 1/2 month old daughter, Cecelia.
2. I'm a 4th generation Montanan!
3. I LOVE to telemark ski. No, not tele-market... look it up! :)
4. I'm a clean freak. One of my favorite things to do is clean clean clean and organize my house then sit down with a glass of wine and admire it.
5. I used to hate my middle name, Buckley. It is my mom's maiden name. But now I love having a family name.
6. I know wine. My dad collects wine and every time I go home he pours me a glass and has me guess it's vintage, region, type, etc... and I more often than not get it right!
7. I LOVE to travel. As I write this, I am in Miami with Cecelia, my Mom, sister, Cody (who is visiting from Ecuador).
8. I have a green thumb. I love to get my hands in the dirt and I can even get my orchids to thrive and bloom.
9. I once swam across Whitefish Lake, about 3 miles I think and I hope to do it again this year.
10. I get motion sick super easy.
11. I've never broke a bone and haven't even been in the hospital, even to have Cecelia!
12. I've visited over 17 countries and 3 continents in my years. I lived in Italy for a semester, visited China and traveled all over South East Asia for 3 months. I hope to travel lots more in the future, even with little Cecelia.
13. I secretly want to move to Hawaii.
14. I have 22 years of photography experience. Yep that's right, I've been shooting, developing and printing my own photos since I was 7!
15. I listen to NPR daily.
16. I've never learned how to navigate a PC. I'm a MAC girl, born and raised. I remember my dad's tan rectangular apple computer back in the 80's!
17. I secretly want to move off the grid, live sustainably and swear off computers and technology.
18. I LOVE lemonheads.
19. I LOVE spicy food. Horseradish, wasabi and especially Franks Hot Sauce which put it on everything.
20. I wish I were a professional dancer. I think the music, self expression combined with the athleticism is so beautiful and would be incredibly rewarding.
21. I tear-up when the commercials come on about abused and neglected pets. I wished I could adopt, nurture and love all of them.
22. I LOVE musicals. Cheesy right! A couple of my all time favorites are Moulin Rouge and Across the Universe.
23. I have seen moose, elk, deer, bear, turkey, hawks, weasels, trout, chipmunks, squirrels, loads of different birds and even heard a mountain lion all in my BACKYARD!
24. I have a 6 year old golden retriever named Lucca who has the fastest tongue in the West, thinks everyone wants to pet him and will probably goose you when you meet him (sorry).
25. I'm an introvert. I love developing intimate relationships. I think it is one of the reasons I photograph weddings. I love to get to know and become friends with my clients.

Lauren and Stan are getting married this September at Laura's family guest ranch, the El Western just outside of Ennis, Montana. These two were in MT doing some final wedding planning, having family time, then heading on to their bachelorette and bachelor parties in other parts of the mainland.
Stan is Taiwanese, Lauren is a Montanan and now they reside in sunny warm Maui. They told me that they had a traditional Asian-style engagement photo shoot in Taiwan recently that lasted 14 hours and they had 7 outfit changes (holly molly)!!!! I got to see the album from the shoot which was absolutely stunning, really beautiful. Our shoot was only 2 hours but I think we still got some killer shots!
The day was very blustery and overcast. Actually, it was a pretty warm day for the end of March, in Montana (50 degrees) but the windchill really made it cold. We bucked up, braved the weather and had a blast taking photos all around the El Western and around Ennis. We had to take a couple breaks back at the homestead where Kris and John, Lauren's folks fixed us hot cocoa to help thaw our cold fingers. You'll see in their photos that they are a fun energetic couple. It was so much fun getting to know Stan, Lauren and Lauren's folks. I can not wait for their beautiful September wedding under the mountains and along the Madison River.
