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 […]
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 […]
Mikayla and Kyle met at Carroll College years ago, and when I heard their campus proposal story, I knew part of their engagement shoot had to happen there too! These two are without a doubt destined to be together. And just from hanging out with them on their shoot, I could feel the excitement and […]
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 […]
There is something about shooting expecting mamas, especially the ones who are pregnant with their first child. The excitement of what’s to come is tangible and exhilarating! I remember being pregnant with my first. Everything was so fun to look forward to. The new baby furniture, all the new baby gear you were positive you […]
