Adorable, completely adorable These photos are a gift for the grandparents of these cute kids, what a awesome idea! What more could any grandparent want?! Grateful for winter clients calling me in the spring, thanks Richard & Great Northern Powder Guides!

 Spring has finally sprung! Had a great mini adventure getting out and photographing these bars where they are made to be eaten! Whether I'm on the lake, on the trail or on my bike I love all the Kate's Real Food bars, especially in love with the new Tiki Bar, so good! If you haven't seen me post about these delicious gems in the past, be sure to check out their website: http://katesrealfood.com/

 These images are from my first day shooting at Nakiska this season... I know, I know a little out of order on the blog posts! It happens when you are playing catch up from a crazy busy winter, and now a crazy busy spring. With that said, you can expect some more posts this week as I catch up on my massive editing pile! 

I have to brag a little bit about this day, the sky was amazing! When I went to the day lodge to meet up with the employees to photograph I couldn't have asked for a better group. Great attitudes, and some of these guys/gals can lay down in the park! I made some new friends, and got some incredible shots thanks to their skills. All in all, epic shooting day!

A few weeks ago I was so excited to see a box full of tasty treats from Kate's Real Food! For those of you that know me personally, you know that I'm a big fan of the Driggs/Victor Idaho region, so actually working with a down to earth company producing incredible product was irresistible! Whats even more irresistible? These delishious bars! Made with natural ingeriedients, soy free and gulent free these bars have something for everyone! Check out Kate's Real Food here: https://katesrealfood.com/ and check back for their new website to go live with some of these images!

 Nakiska was another RCR destination to photograph this winter. I  made it up to Nakiska a few times (I will post more photos!) this season and almost every time I went up there it snowed. AWESOME for riding, a little tricky with the images. If you haven't made it up to Nakiska it's a pretty cool place. Extremely family friendly, awesome park for all my "park rat" friends, and for the tourist type, it's a must see for all the 1988 Olympic heritage! The staff is incredible, they even joined me for a while and let me take their photos. Thanks for a great season Nakiska!

 What does a day shooting at Fernie Alpine Resort look like? Well if you're lucky enough to get a bluebird, it looks a little something like this! 

I'd been in communication with RCR (Resorts of the Canadian Rockies) for a few weeks of trying to get to Fernie for a photoshoot, but with storm after storm I was stuck in Montana - being stuck in Montana, specifically Whitefish Montana when its storming is not a bad thing! But conditions were not ideal for photographing, and I'm sure glad I waited it out for this picture perfect blue sky. From the top of the new Polar Peak chair we could see endless peaks, hooray for above alpine skiing! Our 9-4pm day on the slopes consisted of 3 full runs top to bottom, with smaller runs connecting chairlifts and such... welcome to a day of photographing vs. skiing! No complaining here, just exposing you to the fact that a photographing day is very different from a typical day of skiing. Photo days are very thought out and each run is dissected into "different shots." Fernie was bursting at the seems with photographing opportunities so we would stop constantly scouting lines and photo opps, set up, shoot and repeat a few times each run. We encountered some lighting issues only once, and that's because we ventured into the trees for a little "jib" on the mountain bike features, after some trial and error we were able to work things out and get a few great shots.

The day was filled with blue skies, "almost" goggle tans, power pockets, chutes, adventures in the trees, tons of photo opportunities and believe me we took them welcoming, and of course some Apres talk & brews. Success in photo world indeed!
