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!!!

This sunset fall engagement session was gorgeous, but we paid for it with 457 mosquito bites. However, this shoot was full of that golden hour glow and it was totally worth itching for days. These images are the ones I dream about when it’s negative temperatures outside during the long cold winter months. Even though […]

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 […]

Location, Location, Location! I’ll be honest…when my kids fall asleep in the car I take the opportunity to scout fun and new locations. I will also say that this is the one thing that stresses me out the most before a shoot! I’ve learned over the years to find great locations that fit my subjects, […]

Senior Week: Style Tuesday!! If you’re like me…I need a few tips on being stylish. I wish I could say that I was born to see style and what goes together with what. Nope. This definitely doesn’t come naturally for me. However, over the years of photographing hundreds of people, I have realized that a […]

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. […]
