Congratulations Jessica and Perry!
Payne, rocked this shoot and he rocks this marriage!!!! The show stopper is the one of him between the two of them. So great. He is the winner in this marriage... and he LOVES it. Smile and know that these images will be cherished in years to come. Lar
(04.11.09 @ 9:56PM)Great shots Lauren! I would definitely have to agree with Larry ~ Payne is a riot! Looks like you guys had fun! Can't wait to join you!
(04.12.09 @ 2:27PM)Beautiful photos! What amazing photography to be cherished forever. You rock girl! The family is beautiful!
(04.12.09 @ 8:22PM)I am so fortunate to working together with you and this couple! They are a riot...and can't wait to blog about all the pieces of their wedding! Lauren, these shots are so great, and what a well, put together series! From seeing them quick on your computer to seeing this, you are so good! Thanks for sharing! LL
(04.13.09 @ 9:14PM)To promote her new business, she put together these promo post cards. I was blown away when I saw them because she featured my photography on her card! I am so thankful and honored! These shots are from a fabulous intimate wedding we both worked on last April in Paradise Valley, the wedding of Ruth & Robert. Click HERE to view my blog post from this wedding and click HERE to view their wedding album.
At any rate, Leslie does amazing floral design and is a dream to work with on event and wedding design and coordination. She is an experienced business woman and has been a dear friend and mentor to me over the years. You may remember her recent business, the Floral Gallery, a successful floral design business in Bozeman, Montana as well as an event planning business called Paradise Custom Weddings. I highly recommend her services and respect and love her dearly! I'm pretty darn sure if you decide to use her services, you'll feel the same way about her immediately.
Leslie recently opened a storefront in Ennis, Montana called Main Street Floral. She calls it a little piece of sunshine in Ennis, Montana. I have yet to head over the hill to visit, but am looking forward to it. Our dear friend and photographer, Morgan Roof visited her last week and took some awesome photos of the new shop. Visit Leslie's blog to view photos of Main Street Floral.
My studio neighbors, Classic Ink designed the new logo for her which is a take off of her old Floral Gallery logo.
On a whole other note, I was honored to do some professional portraits of Leslie last summer. She was working hard on her new business, blog and website and of course, needed some nice head shots to go along. You are a beauty miss Leslie and make my job easy!
Yeah Leslie! Can't wait to come check out Main Street Floral myself! What a great smile :)
(04.08.09 @ 1:57PM)Gushing....It was fun...sunny...and I felt so comfortable having you photograph me! !!! You are the bestest! LL

(04.06.09 @ 6:57PM)You knock me out. You can even make this old dude look great. Thank you so much. Thanks to you and to Morgan. It was a tough assignment and you both get A's.
Now... what's next? I think something new is brewing!
(04.06.09 @ 7:39PM)Larry looks so good in these pics,...so happy we get to hang out with him all the time through work stuff! Great photos Lauren! I love your portraits!!! LL
(04.07.09 @ 3:43PM)Great pics of Larry! What a handsome young man with a great smile :) You guys rock!
(04.07.09 @ 4:09PM)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!
This is my favorite of the bunch! I love to get Morgan laughing!
I call this one "Super Morgan"!
Here are some fun shots I got of Larry photographing Morgan... both Larry and Morgan working their magic!
Oh my gosh I LOVE these! You made me look way better than I actually do :) It was such a fun afternoon and I can't wait until the next time! You are an amazing photographer and beautiful person, woman, I love you to pieces! Thank you so much for these!! xoxo
(04.02.09 @ 12:56PM)Whoa, stop right there. Flipp'n stellar! I guess I'm going to have follow suit now and show my hand. Beautiful work, beautiful subject. (period)
(04.02.09 @ 2:08PM)So happy to work with all of you...Morgan, you look so amazing, and I see you tried the "hand" trick!!!! Smiles to your gorgeous photos...all of you so talented and amazing. I am so lucky to have you on my top picks for wedding photographers and work with you all on a regular basis! xxxooo Leslie Lukas Weddings & Events
(04.03.09 @ 3:37PM)I agree whole-heartedly! Beautiful pictures and what a fun day! Isn't it fun to hang out with other people in the biz? It's so energizing. The pics Morgan took of you are fantastic too! Wahoo for new profile pics! :)
(04.06.09 @ 10:38AM)MORGAN: you are the true face of a Montana woman. fresh, pretty, natural, true. someone who i want to hang out with. you are gorgeous girl!!! LAUREN: ditto for you. i LOVE the photos morgan took of you!!! bow-chica-bow-now. hot mamas!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
