Choosing a family photographer in North Carolina can feel strangely heavy.

You are not just picking someone to take pictures. You are trusting someone with your people, your dynamics, your season of life. And when you are already juggling kids, schedules, and a million other decisions, it is easy to feel overwhelmed or unsure where to even start.

If you have ever wondered, How do I know if this photographer is actually the right fit for us? this post is for you.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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!

Welcoming a new member into the family is always a magical experience, and capturing those precious moments is a privilege I never take lightly. I recently had the joy of photographing baby Finnley, just a week old, in his cozy home nestled in the heart of Missoula, Montana.
