Helena, Montana is perfect for family photography. From the rustic mountains to the valley full of flowing grass, a photographer is pretty much spoiled wherever they look. Want to hear a secret? Photographing families always intimidated me. I tried my best to steer clear from them the best I could, until one day I realized… […]
I met this sweet family the day they walked their oldest daughter into my kindergarten classroom. That was years ago, and I have been dreaming of this continental divide sunset shoot ever since. In fact, this shoot outdid what I had envisioned for it! The weather was perfect and Adonis and Maie spoiled me rotten […]
Capturing families has kind of crept up on me these past few years. To be honest, I’ve been flirting with the idea of doing more family shoots this next year. I’ve always specialized in weddings and seniors, but as I get older and my family gets bigger, I’ve realized just how special and important family […]
My Dear Isla, Where do I begin? God chose you to enter our life in such a remarkable way and I am so incredibly thankful that he did. You beat all the odds. Although we weren’t planning on adding to our family, you entered our hearts and lives anyway. I remember the day we found […]
Where do I even begin? This sweet boy entered the world during a pandemic, and was shortly diagnosed with a reality no parent can bear. But you know what? He. Is. Perfect. I mean, I cried as I drove away perfect. In every since of the word, he has captivated strangers, stole the hearts of […]
I like this tribe. Pretty fun group. Have you ever met someone that you’re immediately like, “Yep. You’re my people…”? That’s this family. Andrea is actually a good friend of my sister-in-law, but if we lived closer, I honestly think I would jump into that friend circle and love every minute of it. And their […]
Lifestyle family sessions are not your typical family session. They are a much more laid back, go-with-the-flow type of shoot. I LOVE these because the amount of pressure exponentially decreases for both mom and dad–and if I’m being honest–with me too! And the photos reflect that relaxed vibe. This mama and daddy knew that they […]
The Lifestyle family shoot to beat all family shoots…W.O.W. Z. A. From the colors, to the location, and most importantly, the people…this one will be one to beat–I dare someone to try ;). Wet during golden hour, aka photographer talk for two hours before sunset and drove to a meadow in the south hills of […]
The sun’s rays were finally starting to feel like summer and I was anxious to start shooting after taking a few weeks off to be with my family in Canada. I drove downtown with my windows down, radio off, and just reveled in what I have been waiting for–shooting weather! It could have been the […]
So, I had the outfits planned for my upcoming family photo shoot. I prayed my kids would be on their best behavior for weeks. I planned out the exact time we had to leave the house by in order to get to the shoot on time. I even made my kids go in the car […]
