A Spring Maternity Session in Missoula, Montana- Shannin + Luke

There are some sessions that stay with you long after you pack up your camera—and this maternity session with Shannin and Luke in Missoula, Montana, is definitely one of them. I first met Shannin and Luke several years ago through church and when Shannin reached out to let me know they were expecting their first baby—a little girl—I was beyond excited.

There’s something extra special about photographing another photographer—especially when it’s someone who has become a friend. This spring, I had the absolute joy of photographing Morgan and her two sweet kids, Ella and Parker, during a Mother’s Day mini-session in Missoula, Montana. And let me just say—this session was everything I love about motherhood photography: heartfelt, simple, and full of love.

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 deeply special about maternity sessions—the quiet excitement, the joyful anticipation, and the tender love already growing for the little one who is about to arrive. Stephanie’s golden hour maternity session by the river in Alberton, Montana, was the perfect celebration of all of those things and more. As a Montana maternity photographer, moments like these are some of my absolute favorites to capture.

Missoula Montana Newborn Photography-Shepherd’s Vintage Newborns

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.

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 […]

Newborn Session in Missoula, Montana

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.

There’s something undeniably magical about a fresh snowfall, and when Caitlyn reached out for a mom-and-me session with her kids, Piper and Titus, I knew it was going to be an unforgettable day. After a major snowstorm had blanketed the valley, we met up on their family farm in Stevensville, Montana. The landscape was transformed into a true winter wonderland, and it set the perfect stage for capturing the essence of their family’s joy and connection.

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.

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
