Nestled among the sweeping mountain vistas of the Western Montana landscape, the day began with quiet anticipation and a whole lot of joy. At the idyllic Teller Wildlife Refuge near Corvallis, Ellie and Liam LeCoure celebrated their love surrounded by nature, laughter, and the support of their closest friends and family.

Picture this: the glow of a late-summer Missoula sunset, the shimmer of the Clark Fork River, and two people so in love that they didn’t hesitate when I suggested something a little outside the box. That’s when photography goes from posed to unforgettable, when a couple leans into the moment and lets love carry the story.

When I first connected with Kihla, I knew this session was going to be extra special. She told me that she and Jakob are in a long-distance relationship — between school in Washington and school in Missoula — and that the time they do get together in person is precious. That made their upcoming session feel like more than just photos: it was a moment of presence, a memory bank they’d turn to when the miles stretch between them again.

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.

Abby, Jack, and their six-month-old daughter Molly met me on a warm, green summer evening in Missoula, Montana for a family session that was every bit as joyful as it was meaningful. It was a little different from my typical sessions in that we worked thoughtfully around Jack’s wheelchair, but that difference only made the experience richer. The love this family shares is undeniable, and I feel so honored to have captured even a glimpse of it.

Out in their wide-open field and horse arena, surrounded by sunshine, dirt, horses, dogs, and a whole lot of heart, I had the joy of documenting this cowboy crew doing what they love most: being together, right at home. Corrie and Josh live in Hamilton, Montana, where they run a horse training business and raise […]

The air smelled like spring as I stepped out of the car. I’d never met Emily and Michael before, but they felt familiar. Warm. Easy to be around. Maybe it was because I had photographed Emily’s sister just weeks earlier, or maybe it was the quiet magic of this particular evening, but I could feel right away that this session would be special.

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.
