I knew I wanted to write a blog post about my mom for months, but I just couldn’t bring myself to sit down and drudge up all the emotions that I have so “successfully” suppressed over the past three years. So here we go. Here’s my story. It gets rough (it took me 8 tissues […]
I titled this blog “Montana Spring Engagement Session”. What I should have titled it was “Winter Spring Engagement Session”. It was FREEZING. Poor Bryce had just gotten home from Afghanistan and was being such a trooper in the almost eighty degree temperature difference. But did I hear one complaint out of him? Nope. He was […]
Can you believe it?! Senior year is FINALLY upon you!! If anyone knew how hard it was to get there—said every senior that EVER lived… The good news is that it is your turn! Now starts the fun part…looking forward to the summer of your senior year, late nights out having fun with friends, eating […]
When you get a shoot like this, you wake up the next morning almost in awe that it even happened. It was a beautiful spring day when I drove up to the Graybill’s home. Although windy, the sun was pouring down its warmth as I walked up the steps of their turn of the century […]
Lifestyle newborn shoots are my new jam. I’m semi-addicted to them. To be honest, this shoot was no exception. I wanted to exchange phone numbers with Megan and Seth as I walked out the door.

Montana weddings. Pretty tough not to love them. I have driven through Plains, Montana hundreds of times on my way to visit my parents in Sandpoint, Idaho. Never did I think I would ever have a wedding there. That was until I got a message from a dear college friend, Marie, who asked me if […]
The earthy tones in this lifestyle newborn session fit the subjects. The first time I met Shelby and Cody was in their beautiful Helena home on the morning of their newborn shoot. They were the most down-to-earth people who made me feel instantly comfortable with their kind and relaxed demeanor. I teased them that they […]
From their engagement shoot in the COLDEST temperatures I have EVER shot in, to their beautiful and romantic fall wedding ceremony, I felt like I had done it all with Courtney and Jeff. Until, I got the phone call that they were expecting a baby!! Like our previous past choices on shoots–I chose one of […]
Engagement sessions in winter can be interesting…and fairly painful… That’s why you have a car (running with the heater full-blast) about 10 feet away from you at all times. Then, winter engagement shoots are not only bearable, but OH so worth it! The light in winter is a soft even light due to the snow […]
