To be honest, I don’t think I’ve ever done an indoor maternity shoot before, but this Helena home maternity shoot won’t be the last! I fell in love with this idea! Maggie and I had been planning on doing her maternity shoot indoors due to her being 30 weeks in January. Due to what I […]

There is something about shooting expecting mamas, especially the ones who are pregnant with their first child. The excitement of what’s to come is tangible and exhilarating! I remember being pregnant with my first. Everything was so fun to look forward to. The new baby furniture, all the new baby gear you were positive you […]

Nothing is more exciting than having a baby. For those that had to try to have a baby (like we did), this is a session that they have longed for, sometimes for months or even years. While they wait for the sweet little peanut to grow, the months are filled with dreaming, deciding names, and […]

This poor mama. She had envisioned a snowy lake maternity session. Yeah, that didn’t happen. Her February day hit 60 degrees in Montana!! We were both shocked, but we couldn’t complain! I loved her reading her questionnaire that I sent before the shoot. She shared that they don’t know the gender of the baby, and […]

“Are you a hiking kind of girl?” I asked. “I’ll have my boots ready!” she replied. I knew it would be a great fit right then and there. Winter shoots are tricky. From the weather to the outfits, it’s just ot as easy as it is any other time of year. Knowing this, a lot […]

We may or may not have frozen our buns off for this January maternity shoot in the wee morning hours. Frost covered every blade of grass and blanketed the hillside below Mt. Helena to make for the most stunning backdrop anyone could ask for. I waited in my pick up, heat blasting as high as […]

I love going full circle with clients. It all started with Courtney and Jake’s wedding inquiry, which led to their bitter cold 6 degree engagement shoot that was about this time two years ago in downtown Helena. Fast forward to their beautiful fall cathedral wedding last October which was one of my FAVORITE weddings to […]

To be clear…this shoot was 34 degrees. In November. In Montana…And this mama-to-be showed up with a smile on her face and was ready to freeeeeeze. Should I add more ee’s on that one? If you were there…you’d agree that word needs at least three more. But can you tell from her beautiful smile? Nope. […]

I remember my first phone call with Crystal. She called me early this summer to schedule her fall maternity session. The longer we chatted on the phone, the more I felt like we were good friends that hadn’t spoken to each other for a few years and our conversation just picked up from where […]
