Family Session in Missoula, Montana- Burwell Family

There’s something truly timeless about fall in Montana—especially when you’re photographing a family as joyful and connected as the Burwells. On a crisp autumn evening, we met in an open field just outside Missoula, where the golden light filtered through the trees and the grasses glowed like they were lit from within. It was the […]

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.

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.

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

Elopement in Glacier National Park

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.

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 Photos in Missoula, Montana

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

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 […]

Lifestyle Newborn Photos in Missoula, Montana | Baby Peter

I’m obsessed with everything about baby Peter’s newborn session at home in Missoula. After photographing the Liddell family back in December, I knew that this session would be one of my favorites, but I did not anticipate falling in love with sweet Peter’s full cheeks and chubby fingers quite as much as I did!

As a Montana family photographer, there’s something truly special about capturing the simple yet magical moments of the holiday season—especially when it’s a time of both reflection and anticipation for growing families.
