Flathead County Courthouse {Montana Architectural Photographer}

Recently Flathead County Courthouse in Kalispell, Montana got a facelift!  JSV Photography was honored to be asked to take the new portraits!  And we had a great time.  The changes were beautiful!  The outside was cleaned up with minor repairs, and now it shines!

The inside was completely redone.  The wood was restored to it's original glow!

The look was really beautiful!  And I enjoyed helping Scott get the shots that would make it easy to see that beauty!

 

A very special thank you to Mike, Jim, and all who worked with us so that we could get to the areas we needed to shoot (including the roof, yikes!!)

RoBarr {Great Falls Photographer}

We recently had the pleasure of meeting Linda O'Brien of Conrad.  Looking for a way to do some "value adding" to the family's barley production, she came up with RoBarr (roasted barley).  For all of you out there who love your coffee, but can't get past the acid and/or caffeine, this drink is a great alternative!

It offers a coffee like taste, but without any of the things that can cause people issues with coffee.  Linda has perfected her recipe.  She roasts her barley at a local pizza parlor, bags her product, seals them up, and sells them on her website http://www.robarr.com/ or in health food stores and some local stores.

Linda is currently making three different blends:  Bold, Mugicha and Original.  If your interested, she does offer free samples on her website, just pay S & H, or look for a location that carries RoBarr in your area!

Custom Sports Figures {Great Falls Photographer}

Scott got to play around in the studio and photograph some sports figures.  Now it wasn't your normal portrait session, these guys were in full out play mode!

Okay, now do you see what I mean?

Anyway, there is a guy named Rob Brown who lives in Great Falls that makes these custom sports figures.  The level of detail on these guys in incredible!

If you think these guys are pretty great, check out his facebook page at https://www.facebook.com/pages/Big-Sky-Customs-Custom-Sports-Figurines/315757699443

Thanks, Rob, for letting us take these portraits of some cool sports figures!

Addy Kiddos {Great Falls Children's Photographer}

We had the pleasure of hosting 3 kiddos in our studio for a photography shoot.  Because of a beautiful dress we decided to take some portraits in front of the stained glass window.

The colors were perfect!  After getting some great shots of this beautiful girl, we were planning on moving to a more neutral background, but the second in line wanted his turn:

He really had fun in the window, we got some great smiles!  But I haven't introduced you to the 3rd member, a natural born model!

 

And did I mention super sweet!  Now, here are a few extra shots:

So thank you to the Addy's for letting us have a great time with your kiddos!

 

Benefis North Tower 5th Floor {Great Falls Architectural Photographer}

If you live in Great Falls, MT, you may have noticed that our one and only hospital has been making a few changes over the last several years!  If you didn't, I guess I'll tell you that they actually built a whole new tower (South Tower)!!  Anyway, now they are remodeling the old section since the new section has been completed.  CTA was the architect firm that completed the redesign of the Benefis North Tower 5th Floor.  They requested that JSV Photography take the architectural photos for this project!

So, here are some portraits of the new North Tower 5th Floor:

There was a little bit of tweaking required to get this panorama, but I think it's pretty awesome!

The spaces have an open feel and some beautiful lines!

Oh yeah, I thought I should include one photo of the patient rooms!

So hopefully you will never have to visit this floor for a serious reason, but I truly hope the nurses enjoy their new environment!

Liberty Building {Great Falls Architectural Photographer}

Recently D. A. Davidson had CTA of Great Falls design a space in the basement of the Liberty Building.  It includes an exercise room, conference room, and employee lounge area.

I think the D. A. Davidson employees are really going to enjoy this space! 

Tammy {Great Falls Senior Photographer}

Time flies!  I mean really flies!!  I can't believe that we have already been in our "new" studio in Great Falls for 6 months!  Yay!!  We have really enjoyed not having to move around all of our equipment for every photo shoot!

But this blog isn't about us, it's about a beautiful young lady named Tammy!  She was nice enough to come to our studio and let us get some fun Senior portraits!!

Thanks for choosing JSV Photography!  We enjoyed working with you!!

Meet Danielle! {Great Falls Baby Photographer}

So, I come from a family of four kids!  I am the only girl!!  It was awesome!  (Okay, I have nothing to compare it to, but I have to say that I might have really gotten cranky if there had been another girl to steal my thunder! *my brothers are all shaking their heads Uh-huh, yep!!*)  Anyway, all of us kids are now married with kids of our own.  I have the honor of introducing you to my parents' grandchild number 13, and she was the lucky number 13 to be born into such a great family!

Danielle's parents were nice enough to bring her into our JSV Photography Studio the other evening and we were able to get some great portraits of this beautiful little girl!

So, here she is without further ado (okay, and maybe one or two with her parents!):

She actually was more interested in telling us a story than going to sleep!

But once she zonked out, she was super precious!

Thank you, Justin and Rose, for sharing your beautiful daughter with us, she was a pleasure to photograph!!

Connor {Great Falls Senior Photographer}

We had the pleasure of meeting with Connor, a CMR football player, wrestler, and soon to be senior!  Here comes the class of 2013!!

We did this indoor photo shoot at our JSV Photography Studio!

Thank you, Connor, for being a great senior model!!
