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.

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 Missoula 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 […]

Couple’s Session in Hamilton, Montana

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.

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 […]

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.

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.

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!

Their couple’s session took place on the shoreline of South Lake Tahoe, California, and I couldn’t have picked a better spot of these two!

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 […]

After almost 7 years of marriage, Ryan and Marlee hadn’t taken photos together since their wedding, so we had to remedy that! One of their favorite spots to go for an evening walk or just hang out is the Historic Old North Bridge in Concord, Massachusetts so when I asked if they had a location in mind, this was their immediate thought!
