Anniversary Couple’s Session in Downtown Missoula, Montana

There’s something really special about photographing a couple who’s already built a life together—especially when they take the time to slow down and celebrate their relationship, just the two of them. Analyse and Esa are parents to two sweet kids, but for this session, the focus was entirely on them.

There are sessions that stay with you—and then there are families who do. I’ve had the absolute joy of documenting so many milestones for the Flor family over the past couple of years, and welcoming baby Joseph (JoJo) for his newborn session was such a full-circle moment.

Wedding at Camp Elohim in Troy, Montana

On August 17, 2024, I had the absolute pleasure of photographing Grace and Landon Marcott’s wedding at Camp Elohim in Troy, Montana.

There’s something incredibly special about photographing elopements—especially when they’re in a place as breathtaking as Glacier National Park. Josie and Wesley’s elopement was a dream come true, set against the stunning backdrop of one of Montana’s most iconic locations.

Family Photos in Missoula, Montana- French Family

There’s something about the late summer light in Montana that makes every session feel magical. For the French family, it was the perfect backdrop for a beautiful evening filled with love, joy, and gratitude. The sunset was absolutely stunning, casting a warm glow over the fields as we captured moments of their family together.

Maternity sessions have this special kind of magic to them. They hold all the anticipation, emotion, and quiet in-between moments before life shifts again—and this one with the Flor family was no exception. We met up on an overcast day in Missoula for a calm, joy-filled evening in the open air

Frenchtown, Montana Engagement Photos | Hunter & Lexie

Buckle up friends, because this is one of my favorite sessions yet! Hunter and Lexie have been friends since I first moved to Missoula, Montana and have been there form the start of my photography journey. They even modeled for me back when I was in photo school, but lets hope those photos stay buried…
After getting engaged in June, we obviously had to get them in front of the camera as fiancés! Their energy is so fun and I love the way they play off of each other to make everyone around laugh and have fun. They were also such good sports when I suggested jumping in the pond fully clothed! However skeptical they may have been, they kept it to themselves and went all in on bringing my vision to life. I’m always so grateful for clients who are willing to try something outside the box to get the shot!

This last minute photo session with the Crawford family ended up being one of the highlights of my trip. When I learned that Justin, Jenna, and baby Gabe had not had any photos taken together since Gabe was born, I knew we had to fit them in.

Engagement Photos in Missoula, Montana

There’s a certain kind of magic that only happens at golden hour, especially in late summer in Montana. The air starts to cool, the light turns soft and golden, and everything slows down in the most beautiful way. Grace and Landon’s engagement session landed on one of those perfect evenings—warm sun, golden skies, and the […]

Justin and Gloria’s wedding day was set in the beautiful mountain scene of Chico Hot Springs Resort in Pray, Montana. These two drove all the way from Illinois with fifteen of their closest friends and family to have an intimate Montana wedding.
