For the cozy, messy, dancing around your kitchen barefoot kind of moments.
Your life goes by faster than you can even imagine. Your wedding is over in an instant. Your kids grow up, your hair goes gray, the wrinkles next to your husbands eyes deepen, and yesterday will never come again. You may regret how fast you let it pass you by, but you will never regret the moments that you chose to etch into time the love and connection you have with your people.
I’m a wedding and family photographer who spent the last five years living and working in Montana, and a part of my heart is still there. Even though I now live in North Carolina, I return for select MT weddings and family sessions each year. I’m a quiet observer, drawn to the little moments that make life feel like home—the way your partner reaches for your hand, the soft chaos of raising a family, the laughter that fills your space. Photography lets me preserve those feelings, not just for today, but for a lifetime. My approach is warm, nostalgic, and focuses on what makes you you. I would love nothing more than to document your Montana memories, together.
I'm Kira
Finding beauty in the quiet, everyday moments of love.

Hi there,
Real Life.
Real Stories.
Real Moments.
Kira was amazing! I was an out-of-state bride and her style was everything I was looking for. She was so easy to work with, she really streamlined her entire process and communication AND HER PHOTOS ARE AMAZING! I would recommend her over and over again!!! I am so glad we found her!

Kira came over when our bebe was just a week old and did photos for us right within our home. She was professional and courteous of boundaries with a new born. She also was quick which is what we were looking for in a 30 minute shoot with a little one. The quality of the photos were outstanding and we will be using her again year after year for our family photos.
"The photo quality was outstanding!"

Kira (and second-shooter husband Caden) is the best. Her flexibility, attention to detail (phones out of pockets, please!), and calm enthusiasm made pictures one of the best pieces of our wedding day. We had so much fun capturing special moments with her, and would ask her to take pictures for us again in a heartbeat!

Kira is such a friendly, easy to work with photographer that creates incredible results. We did a beach couple's portrait session with her and were blown away by how photogenic she managed to make us look! Her style made us feel comfortable through the whole process. She was fast and communicative with the final pictures. For anyone looking for a photographer, look no further.

Kira does amazing work and makes the whole experience feel easy and comfortable. Setting up a shoot was very easy and her resources helped us feel like we were getting the most out of our experience. She delivers photos quickly and her work is stunning! I would recommend her to anyone looking to get her photos done.
"I would recommend her to anyone!"

Booking from out of state was so stressful! Let alone any type of photographer! I reached out one day and I’m so grateful I did!! Kira Rideout photography is 10/10! She goes the extra mile getting to know you as a couple, getting all the best angles making you feel the best! It felt more like having another friend around telling me which angles are the best rather than someone wanting posed pics. My only negative is that I’m not closer to have more pictures done!
"It felt like having another friend!"

From booking my session to receiving the final products, my experience with Kira at Kira Rideout Photography was incredible! Kira is talented, kind, and communicative. Her pre-session guide is thorough with loads of tips, suggestions, and information! During our session, everything was natural and she had great prompts. Kira has a gift for capturing moments of love and joy, and putting that same energy into her work. I highly recommend her to anyone looking for professional photos!
