commercial photographer :: montana :: interior design

I shot some portraits recently for Tate Pastor Interiors two principal designers.  Based in Whitefish, Montana they provide creative solutions for residential and commercial clients.  They were looking for something simple that conveyed the warmth of the work they do and felt relaxed.  It's always fun to do shoots for them and this was no exception. Thanks for the fun shoot ladies!

That many birds around me would really freak me out but this lady was pretty pumped. From a trip earlier this month to Miami.

Spring is coming to Montana. It's a little early this year and I'm thrilled. I am even going to to be able to go out for a run outside this afternoon which just about puts me over the edge on the happiness scale. I'm in the process of organizing some archives and so this post is a result of my "Montana Archive." You really can't beat some of the views here. Seriously. The thesis of this post is pretty much Montana is Awesome. I think it's a hard point to argue with really.

:: montana commerical editorial photographer:: napa valley beauty

In January I took a trip to California to primarily shoot this wonderful wedding. Afterwards a good friend and I drove out to Napa Valley. Saying we enjoyed ourselves is an understatement. Unseasonably warm weather plus the whole no snow thing made for a wonderful trip. One stop we made was at the Francis Ford Coppola Winery. It was beautiful and the mustard flowers were in bloom. A great start to a new year full of possibilities -- and now a good reminder of how close we are to Spring here in Montana.

Commercial Work :: Shawna Moore for Blick Art ::

It's always nice to see the final product come together after a shoot. I shot Shawna Moore in her studio earlier this year and this is the final ad that the work will be used for. Cool projects with people you enjoy working with really make all the difference and this one is a nice way to start the year off.
