This engagement session made my heartso happy. Cole Fuhrman and I have known each other for years. His family moved next door to us when he was about four years-old and I was their babysitter for many years. Memories of playing with him and his sister made me smile while I edited his ENGAGEMENT session! […]

Shooting weddings will always have a special place in my heart. When I was a senior in high school, I asked a local photographer if I could come to a wedding with her. Bless her heart. She said yes! Little did she (or I for that matter) know that she would be the first person […]

“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 […]

This year was a doozy. Anyone else feel like they were just drinking champagne watching the ball drop in Times Square for 2019?! Who am I kidding…I was shooting a New Years Eve wedding in Missoula, Montana that night, but you know what I mean. With all the craziness, this year went so incredibly fast! […]

I had never met Kevin until the day of their engagement shoot. Abby was all smiles as she described him during her wedding consultation, and I was anxious to meet him for the first time. Everything she was telling me about him made me smile and my heart was full listening to her admiration of […]

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 […]

How do you have a successful family shoot?! Well, it takes a lot of thought and excitement and then I take care of the rest! Here are my tried and true tips for a great family shoot: 1. Clothing Is Everything I used to think that clothing had little to do with the quality of […]

These two are perfect for each other. Both first grade teachers, both from the same home town, both kind as EVER.
