Here in Helena, in-home newborn sessions make my heart happy. When it’s snowy outside, we’re snuggling inside. Complete with tiny baby toes and the softest baby hair caressing mama’s cheeks. Newborns give me so much happiness. They bring me back to the tired days of those first weeks when everything was a blur. Hence, why […]

I got a text one evening from a good friend who wanted to surprise a colleague with a newborn shoot. I started asking questions, then quickly realized who she was talking about when she mentioned “newborn twin boys”. Uhm…absolutely!!! Kind of funny, I actually have already been invited in Brent and Ali’s home in the […]

When I arrived at this newborn shoot, I was instantly intrigued with Beau and Madison’s historic Helena home. Built in the late 1800s, their home is nestled on a quiet street in Helena, where one can hear kids playing in the backyards and an occasional dog barking at a pesky squirrel. Beau opened the door […]

I will be honest. I was an hour late to this shoot. That NEVER happens. Like–ever. But the sweet voice on the other end of the phone called to see if I was ok, hoping that nothing had happened to me. I’ve never been so embarrassed! My heart sunk, because it was totally my fault. […]

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 shifted my 4-Runner into 4-wheel drive as I turned onto Ali and Brent’s road. The snow was softly falling as my windshield wipers tried to keep up. Snow-covered pine trees and quiet homes with porch lights on lined the country road as I made my way to meet 4-day-old Sawyer. As I drove up […]

Those first few weeks of having a newborn are so incredibly moving, transformational and let’s be real, exhausting. You look forward to having a child for months (and sometimes years), and then all of the sudden you are thrown into the world of being a parent. And you leave the hospital with a tiny human […]
