Missoula Montana Engagement Session- Esme & Parker

When the light is just right and two people are head-over-heels in love, magic happens—and Esme and Parker’s engagement session down by the river in Missoula, Montana was pure magic from start to finish. As a Missoula Montana engagement photographer, I live for evenings like this: soft golden light, warm summer air, and a love story that feels as joyful as the sunlight dancing off the water.

There’s something so deeply special about maternity sessions—the quiet excitement, the joyful anticipation, and the tender love already growing for the little one who is about to arrive. Stephanie’s golden hour maternity session by the river in Alberton, Montana, was the perfect celebration of all of those things and more. As a Montana maternity photographer, moments like these are some of my absolute favorites to capture.

Missoula Montana Newborn Photography-Shepherd’s Vintage Newborns

There’s something so special about photographing newborns at home—where the love is thick in the air, the light falls just right, and the memories being made are the ones that truly last. This session with baby Shepherd Anderson and his sweet parents, Trevor and Laina, was everything I love about Missoula Montana newborn photography: heartfelt, personal, and filled with quiet, meaningful moments.

There are some sessions that just stick with you—and this one with the Ooms family is definitely one of them. As the winners of my spring family photo giveaway, Luc, Olivia, and their four-month-old baby boy Bennett joined me for the sweetest session to celebrate this new chapter in their lives. It was their very […]

Rooftop Grad Photos in Missoula, Montana- Kennedy

When a friend asks you to document something this special, the answer is always yes. Even though I don’t typically offer graduation sessions, photographing Kennedy’s grad session was an absolute joy from beginning to end. We met through church, and I’ve loved getting to know her heart over the years — so being able to […]

These two have the kind of love that feels easy—natural, unforced, and deeply rooted. We met up early one morning in Hamilton, Montana, tucked into the heart of the Bitterroot Valley.

Engagement Session at a Dive Bar in Montana

There’s something incredibly captivating about sessions that break away from the usual. No sweeping mountain views or golden fields this time—instead, Sam and Noah chose a dimly lit dive bar in Missoula for their engagement session, and the result was nothing short of magic. Their connection, the moody lighting, and the bar’s character all came […]

Welcoming a new baby into the world brings with it a blur of emotions, long nights, quiet moments, and a whole new kind of love. And while many people imagine those classic “newborn photos” happening within the first week or two of life, Tatum’s session with his parents, Stephanie and Jordan, was the perfect reminder that you don’t need to rush the process to capture meaningful, beautiful memories.

Morning Couple’s Session in Hamilton, Montana

Some sessions feel like a slow build, like you’re easing your way into comfort. Others take off the second the shutter clicks—and that was Grace and Drew to a tee. From the moment we met up in Hamilton, Montana for their early morning couple’s session, I could tell this one was going to be fun.

Some days just feel like magic. Not in a grand, over-the-top way—but in a quiet, deeply romantic kind of way. Jason and Camryn’s elopement was exactly that. The weather was cold, yes, but the kind of cold that brings clarity to the air and soft light to the sky. Wrapped in nature, surrounded by stillness, they promised forever with only each other (and the chill) as witnesses.
