Wildwood Memories Looking back at this shot of me and Heather from Wildwood in 2023. It is just a great, simple portrait of the two of us. The red top looks amazing on her, and the whole picture just has a really warm, relaxed feel to it. Sometimes the simple, everyday moments end up making the best photos.

Partnership and Love This picture really says it all for me. It captures the bond I have with Dawne perfectly. It’s not just about being husband and wife; it’s about being true partners. We balance each other out—you can see it right here with her smile and my serious look. Building this life together has been the best part of the journey, and our connection is stronger than ever.

Date Night in Chesterfield: 2024 Keeping the date night tradition going strong in Chesterfield. Heather Killebrew and I grabbed dinner and caught up. We both dressed up a little—me in the blazer, her looking great in black. It is always nice to just sit down, relax, and enjoy a good meal together.

The Ghostly Couple: Halloween 2021 We definitely committed to the bit for this one. Me and Heather Killebrew in Wildwood, Missouri for Halloween 2021. We went full ghost mode—tattered wedding dress, crazy wig, face paint, the works. Walking around the deck with all those mums really set the scene. It’s fun to go all out like this sometimes.

Matching in Black One last shot to wrap up the Wildwood series. We went with the matching black shirts for this one. It is a simple look, but sometimes simple is better. I really love how these "reimagined" photos turned out—they make a regular day at home feel like a professional photoshoot.

The Grand Finale in Wildwood We saved these two for the very end. First, we decided to match up with a "black on black" look—sleek, simple, and a little dressier. Then, for the last shot, we went back to the style that started it all: the denim and the turtleneck. It has been awesome seeing these moments reimagined. Just us, at home, looking our best.

The Final Frames from Wildwood We are closing out the album with these last two. We tried two different looks that day—the button-down shirt and the turtleneck. Looking at them side-by-side, I really can’t decide which one I like better. They both capture that same feeling of just being happy at home. This whole "reimagined" idea was a fun way to see ourselves in a new light.

Catching the Light in Wildwood We kept the camera rolling by the window because the light was just too good to pass up. Here are a couple more from our Wildwood session. I really like the "reimagined" style of these. It takes a regular photo of us just hanging out at home and gives it a cool, polished look. Dawne looks beautiful, and these are definitely going to find a spot on the wall.

The Name’s Montes... Joey Montes. We decided to channel our inner 007 for this one. This reimagined photo puts us right in the middle of a James Bond movie scene. I am rocking the classic tuxedo, and Dawne looks absolutely stunning in that white gown. It is definitely a lot fancier than our usual Friday night, but hey, it is fun to pretend to be international spies for a minute. Shaken, not stirred, right?

More Wildwood Portraits Here are a couple more of those reimagined shots from Wildwood. I really like how these turned out. There is something about the style—the denim jacket, the black turtleneck—that feels classic but still very much "us." It is cool to see a regular photo transformed into something that looks a bit more like art.
