Picture this: the glow of a late-summer Missoula sunset, the shimmer of the Clark Fork River, and two people so in love that they didn’t hesitate when I suggested something a little outside the box. That’s when photography goes from posed to unforgettable, when a couple leans into the moment and lets love carry the story.

Your wedding day might have been filled with hundreds, maybe even thousands, of photos, but there’s something uniquely special about capturing your honeymoon. It’s the first time you and your partner get to exhale after all the planning, the celebrations, and the whirlwind of your wedding. And if you’ve chosen Hawaii as your destination, your honeymoon photos won’t just be pictures, they’ll become timeless works of art that capture your love in one of the most breathtaking places on earth.

Kay and Brain’s wedding day will always be one I remember. Not just because it was beautiful, but because it was personal in every possible way. Kay is my cousin, and we’ve been close our whole lives. Getting to photograph her wedding felt like the most special full-circle moment.

When I first connected with Kihla, I knew this session was going to be extra special. She told me that she and Jakob are in a long-distance relationship — between school in Washington and school in Missoula — and that the time they do get together in person is precious. That made their upcoming session feel like more than just photos: it was a moment of presence, a memory bank they’d turn to when the miles stretch between them again.

A few months ago, I met Emily and Michael for their maternity session in the wildflower fields of Missoula. It was one of those evenings that felt almost magical—soft light, genuine laughter, and two soon-to-be parents overflowing with anticipation for the babies they were about to meet. Getting to photograph them again for their newborn session in Alberton, Montana way an absolute joy.

When you imagine a perfect Jersey Shore beach wedding, you might well picture the one we just had the honor to capture for Ruthie & David Kissel. From getting-ready moments to romantic sunset portraits on the sand of Long Beach Island, their day was everything a beach wedding should be — intimate, emotional, and full of seaside magic.

Maybe it’s the way the air smells like salt and freedom. Maybe it’s the open sky, or the rhythm of the waves. Whatever it is, beach sessions just hit different. And Kay and Brian’s engagement session on Long Beach Island in New Jersey was everything I love about photographing couples by the ocean.

There’s something really special about being completely trusted as a photographer. When a family gives you full creative freedom, from location to wardrobe to how the session unfolds, it creates space to make something truly honest and beautiful. That’s exactly what happened with the Johnson family. Kimberly, Daniel, and their one-and-a-half-year-old son Cohen met me […]

I wasn’t planning to photograph a proposal that night.

We had just wrapped up a family photo session on the Oregon coast and were heading to grab dinner. It was one of those golden evenings where the light stays soft long after sunset, and after we ate, someone suggested we swing by Ecola State Park to catch the very end of it. We almost didn’t go. But something pulled us in that direction, and I’m so glad it did.
