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.

When the light is just right and two people are head-over-heels in love, magic happens—and Esme and Parker’s engagement session down by the river in Missoula, Montana was pure magic from start to finish. As a Missoula Montana engagement photographer, I live for evenings like this: soft golden light, warm summer air, and a love story that feels as joyful as the sunlight dancing off the water.

Alberton Montana Maternity Session- Stephanie & Jonathan

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.

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.

Family Session in Missoula, Montana- Ooms Family

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 […]

When a friend asks you to document something this special, the answer is always yes. Even though I don’t typically offer graduation sessions, photographing Kennedy’s Missoula grad session was an absolute joy from beginning to end. We met through church, and I’ve loved getting to know her heart over the years — so being able […]

Couple’s Session in Hamilton, Montana

These two have the kind of love that feels easy—natural, unforced, and deeply rooted. We met up early one morning in Hamilton, Montana, tucked into the heart of the Bitterroot Valley.

There’s something incredibly captivating about sessions that break away from the usual. No sweeping mountain views or golden fields this time—instead, Sam and Noah chose a dimly lit dive bar in Missoula for their engagement session, and the result was nothing short of magic. Their connection, the moody lighting, and the bar’s character all came […]
