I received an inquiry from Alexis and Colin during an interesting time in my life. I had just had an interview with a business that has nothing to do with my prior career (teaching) and I felt a little lost in life in general. Limbo if you will. Enter: the sweet ding on my phone […]
Coming to your home after a new baby arrives for a newborn lifestyle photo session makes everyone’s life easier. No rushing out the door with a days-old newborn, driving to a studio where you will be for hours on end, just to realize…you forgot to bring enough (enter everything you forgot here). No more sitting […]
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.

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. […]
When I noticed our out-of-state phone numbers were from the same home town, I knew meeting these new parents was going to be fun! Sure enough, Tessa and I grew up in the same small town in North Idaho, and we had so much in common! It was so fun to reminisce about our old […]
This mama helped me deliver my baby girl in November. I don’t know if it is just me, but I feel a strong connection to all of my OB nurses that have helped me deliver my three children into this world. These incredible nurses have such important roles in delivering the most precious gift you’ve […]
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 […]
