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 […]
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 love Thanksgiving and everything that surrounds this time of year. Gratitude. Thankfulness. Blessings. This time of year is good for the soul. I love that the weather turns cold and makes our hearts warm up. I always slow down this time of year and I am thankful for that in itself. I need it. […]

These two are perfect for each other. Both first grade teachers, both from the same home town, both kind as EVER. Like a lot of my clients, the weather forced us to reschedule their original date for their engagement session. That ALWAYS stresses me out, because I know couples put some much time, effort, and […]
The morning we woke up it was foggy. Probably not something a senior envisions for their senior shoot…but me?? Oh, yeah!! I was SO excited to see some fun weather challenge move in, and to be honest…I couldn’t have planned it better myself! A few days prior, I drove by this field thinking, “Oh, my […]
You read that right: The girl next door. I’m lucky enough to have this beautiful girl and her sweet sister as my next-door-neighbors. Yes, we won the lottery. From Ryann and Mariah buying them a bucketful of gifts at Halloween to their dad and mom lending us a hand with building tricycles and giving us […]
