Ah, fall! That magical time of year when the leaves change into a showcase of colors, the air turns crisp, and photographers everywhere dive headfirst into the whirlwind of the end of their wedding season, plus the beginning of their busy engagement & family season.

Let me tell you about one of my absolute favorite parts of being a photographer: engagement sessions! They’re like the warm-up act before the main event—just a sneak peek into the magic of love. And speaking of magic, I recently had the joy of shooting an engagement session with the lovely Mahri and Cooper, who […]
Well, friends…this was my last wedding of the year, and boy oh boy, it was the perfect one to end on. To be honest, when they booked me last year and they mentioned it was a September wedding at Great Divide Ski Area–I got a wee bit nervous that we’d be shooting in snow or […]
If you’re on the hunt for a little wedding inspiration (or just a good love story), you’re in for a treat. On Saturday, it was a gorgeous summer wedding day for Abby & Chase, set against the stunning backdrop of Summer Star Ranch near Helena, Montana. The day was blazing hot, the kind where the […]

Sunny and Logan met me on the St. Charles steps at Carroll College, where they met and fell in love years ago.

Location, Location, Location! Senior Week: Location Thursday! 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 […]
I knew this newborn session was going to be great, but I didn’t realize just how spoiled I would be until I met baby Maxwell. Born a few weeks early, he started out his precious new life on a plane ride to Great Falls, and 10 days later, he graduated from the NICU and got […]
