If there's anyone our there who actually reads this blog (Hi Mom!), then I'm sure you've noticed that I haven't updated it in a while.
Sadly, after editing the images, emailing my clients, updating my sharing site and posting a few shots on Facebook, I don't really have the strength to keep this blog going.
And because I'm not too graceful with the whole language thing, I figured that it would be better just to show the pictures. So that is what I am doing.

Please join me on my new quest to keep everyone updated using my trusty sharing site, here -> http://jadesdan.zenfolio.com/f306026534

Thank you, and God bless.

Another Engagement Session

2010-02-26T10:11:00.000-08:00

If Kim is only half as bubbly on her wedding day as she was on this cold Sunday afternoon, then Tyler will have one happy bride.

Lots of e-sessions.........

2010-02-26T10:04:00.000-08:00

een busy with wedding preparations, the suspense is almost killing me! I love weddings and here are a couple of reasons why.

Kent & Nichole

Alex & Laura

Glynn & Jaz

2010-01-07T09:36:00.000-08:00

Their names say it all. Happy, exotic, 'bubbly' (from the video), my first wedding of the new year was the most fun that I've had in a while. Add, on top of that, praise and worship during the ceremony, family and friends who's love circles the globe and a bright blue Montana sky, and you truly have a Heavenly inspired day.

Update on the Boys

2010-01-01T15:34:00.000-08:00

I had to wait to share these, we had them printed and framed for both the Grandmas for Christmas. The're all getting so big, and I am so proud.

Weddings of 2009

2009-12-31T12:09:00.000-08:00

Wow! It has been an incredible year, ever better than I could have expected. I can only be grateful for the wonderful brides and grooms I have had the privilege to work with. Happy New Year, and God bless!

Kris & Megan

2009-12-14T10:05:00.000-08:00

Wow! Over 2 months since my last post! I've been really busy, but even happier!
Kris & Megan's wedding was inspirational, to say the least. All of the usual beautiful embellishments, plus they sang one of my favorite songs during the ceremony. Congratulations!

Buddy & Sami

Mike & Anna

2009-09-25T20:16:00.000-07:00

The Everts Ranch should just be made into a permanent venue. They do weddings, and they do them well. For Mike and Anna, it was heavenly, and it was home. Congratulations, you two, and all the best!

East coast and west coast met in Montana last week, and even with our token folks from Wyoming, everybody got a long just fine. Congrats Brant & Jackie, and thank you for a fantastic, all american day!

O.M.G.! (Oh My Gabe)!

2009-08-12T14:49:00.000-07:00

I finally had a chance to take some photos with little Gabe. I am so blessed for having such a beautiful family.

Ryan & Alissa -----> Pure.

2009-08-11T09:57:00.000-07:00

If there is one word I can use to decribe Ryan & Alissa's wedding it is pure. Pure Love. Pure Joy. Pure Happiness. And the worship music at the ceremony was pure pleasure for me, and it set the tone for the evening. Congradulations, you two, and thank you for sharing your purely wonderful day with me.

It's a Boy!!!!!!!!

2009-08-07T17:20:00.000-07:00

On Wednesday, August 5th, 2009, Jade and I welcomed our third boy into our family. We are so blessed to have Gabe Gene Sullivan with us, the biggest of all our boys (at birth).
He was 7 lbs. 14 oz., 20 1/4 inches and was born at 11:07.
I can't wait have another beautiful face to photograph!

And to see how his brothers feel about their new baby....

Stay tuned for more........

Welcome to the Party

2009-07-05T17:08:00.000-07:00

I'm trying to think of words to decribe the fun that we had at Mike & Chantry's wedding. Crazy. Exciting. Awsome. But they all sound so cliche'. So I'll show some shots, but there is now way I can convey in 20 or so shots all of the goodness that was had. Thanks, Mike & Chantry, and congrandulations!

(Okay one appropriate phrase for the evening...."Triple Lux")

It's all in the details....

2009-07-04T11:15:00.000-07:00

Every once in a while I get the privilege of experiencing an event where every detail has been thought out, every item has a purpose, and everything is as it should be. Justin & Shoshana's wedding was this way, and I enjoyed every minute of it. Thank you so much and congratulations!

"It's all about the pictures..."

2009-06-26T06:48:00.000-07:00

That is one of my favorite things to hear! Not that I don't totally respect the importance and significance of a wedding, but when I have gorgeous people in a beautiful setting and they are all dressed nicely and smiling...I'm in heaven. Tammi & Mike were those kind of people. And when Tammi said "it's all about the pictures" I knew we were in for some fun. Congratulations Mike & Tammi!

Gotta love my family.......

2009-06-23T08:21:00.000-07:00

I'm usually not much of a bragger, but I can't help feeling so proud and blessed to have such a beautiful family. They say "happy father's day", I say "happy family day!"

...and for those of you wondering, yes, my wife is pregnant and due in July!!!

Josh & Melanie Wedding.

2009-06-03T09:00:00.000-07:00

I love outdoor weddings. Of course I love all weddings. This last weekend I finally got to shoot a wedding at Zoo Montana. While it's not the most exotic place in the world, it does have some great charecter and makes for a very beautiful setting. Congradulations, Josh and Mel. It was a pleasure to be there.

Ryan & Alissa- Engagement

2009-05-20T09:05:00.000-07:00

Here are a few shots from Ryan & Alissa's engagement shoot last week. We had such a great time enjoying the break in the weather. Spring is finally here, and with it comes love. Congradulations R & A! I'll see you in August!

It's 8pm. Do you know where your son is?

2009-05-07T13:11:00.000-07:00

He's with me! I couldn't resist last night when the storm broke and the sun peeked out for a few minutes before setting. On a whim, I called up [name removed to protect the innocent], the most fashionable 17 year old I know, and met him up on the Rims.

Bryce & Melissa

2009-04-24T22:21:00.000-07:00

Here's a little preview from Bryce & Melissa's wedding. We were up in the mountians, at a beautiful location with some people who knew how to have fun. What more could you ask for?

This weekend I had the privilege to travel for the first time to Mountain Home, Idaho to be with Jim & Kirstie on their wedding day. Jim is actually the God-Father of my photography career, and a good friend, so I am so please to share in his happiness!

Poster Time!!!!

2009-03-16T16:07:00.000-07:00

Here's a look at some of the posters I'm working on for the display at the Rimrock Mall!

Baby Ayana

2009-03-13T15:22:00.000-07:00

I had the great privelage of shooting this 6 month old beauty. What a doll!

The Olfert Boys......

2009-03-11T07:07:00.000-07:00

Fun would not even begin to describe the time we had with Dietrich and Hadden. I think we did more playing than taking pictures, but that's what it's all about, right?! I can't imagine how much cuter these little farm boys are going to get.

William & Kell in Red Lodge, MT

2009-02-09T22:31:00.000-08:00

From now on, I require that all engagement sessions be shot in Red Lodge! I had so much fun with William and Kelly. This Tennessee couple got engaged up at the ski lodge last year and invited me back to re-live some of the magic. What more could I ask for??? I wish them the best as they plan thier new life together back in Tennessee (y'all come back now, ya hear!)

Kelly was so proud of William that he didn't "growl" at the camera!

Bath time.........

2009-02-07T13:49:00.000-08:00

Okay, so I haven't really got many shots of my family lately, so I couldn't resist it when my boys were in the bath. It's always a chore to get them to cooperate, but the results are worth it. And yes, thier eyes are really that big! (thank you Grandma!)

Dan & Hailey's Reception

2009-01-30T07:23:00.000-08:00

Wow! I don't think I've ever see the Billings Depot look this good! The reception was great, everyone (pretty much) behaved themselves, and the party lasted well past midnight! Luckily, Donovan is such a good little sleeper!

Dan & Hailey

2009-01-28T07:14:00.000-08:00

Here is a little video from Dan & Hailey's wedding ceremony on January 3rd, 2009. St. Pat's is such a beautiful cathedral, and Hailey's colors mixed well with the leftover Christmas decorations. Everything went really well, and even little Donovan got in a short nap. Enjoy!

More of the reception yet to come.......
