Hello, North Carolina: Kira Rideout Photography is Moving to Winston-Salem

Big news—I’m moving! After four and a half amazing years in Montana, where I grew as a photographer, met my husband, and fell in love with so many beautiful stories, we’re packing up and heading east. Winston-Salem, North Carolina, here we come! While Montana will always have a piece of my heart, we’re so excited to plant our own roots in North Carolina, near family, and start connecting with couples and families in this beautiful region.

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.

Alberton, Montana Newborn Session- Baby Ryder

I’d photographed Stephanie and Jonathan earlier this spring for their maternity session in Alberton, Montana, and even then, their love for their baby boy was overflowing. That session was full of laughter, big skies, and the hope of what was to come. So getting to return, just a few weeks later, to document them holding Ryder in their arms—it was deeply moving. Quiet joy radiated through every room.

Earlier this spring, I photographed their maternity session here in Missoula, Montana. It was dreamy and warm and full of soft light and excitement. And now, with a new baby in tow and the balsamroot fields in full bloom, it felt like a full-circle moment to be behind the camera once again—only this time, with a brand-new chapter unfolding.

Newborn Photography in Missoula, Montana- Baby Anderson

I’m just obsessed with photographing a family as they grow—capturing one chapter, and then getting to turn the page and document the next. That’s exactly what made this newborn session with Baby Anderson so meaningful. I first met Katie and Kellen (and their two older kiddos, Marlyn and Braxton) during their maternity session, and I knew right away this family was something special.

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.

Family Session in Missoula, Montana- Ooms Family

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 […]

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.

Lifestyle Newborn Photos in Missoula, Montana

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.

This precious little guy was an absolute rockstar for his newborn session! The timing worked out perfectly to where he was a week old when I was back in Massachusetts visiting family and I’m so glad that I was able to squeeze this precious session in before coming back home to Montana.
