2020 was a terrible year for the wedding industry, but that didn’t stop some brides and grooms from having incredible weddings. In fact, because of the pandemic, the industry discovered something very enlightening. Smaller, more intimate weddings created amazing weddings! I have to admit, it was one of my most favorite wedding seasons yet!   […]

My Dear Isla, Where do I begin? God chose you to enter our life in such a remarkable way and I am so incredibly thankful that he did. You beat all the odds. Although we weren’t planning on adding to our family, you entered our hearts and lives anyway. I remember the day we found […]

When I first met Caitlin for her wedding consultation, I was 34 weeks pregnant and we met at a local brewery. We giggled as I ordered water, but it didn’t matter much, because she was so fun to chat with. She shared how Cory proposed to her in the depths of the wilderness of Montana, […]

Entrepreneurship isn’t for the faint of heart. Creating a flower farm in Montana’s fickle seasons isn’t either. Delisa Hiel has done both. Not only has she accomplished both, she has flourished into a level that few ever experience. This branding shoot is by far, one of my favorite shoots each year. How often are you […]

Chase smiled as he recounted the story of one of the first nights he met Annie. He was the designated driver for a group of friends, and he purposely dropped her off last. They bonded quickly that her last name was actually his first name, and the rest is history. This sweet story still brought […]

The past few weeks have been enlightening to say the least. It’s funny when something this world-changing occurs, we all start to get some perspective on what’s important, and what is meaningless in our lives. For many, COVID-19 has rocked our sense of “normalcy” and we are grasping at things that we can control and […]

This poor mama. She had envisioned a snowy lake maternity session. Yeah, that didn’t happen. Her February day hit 60 degrees in Montana!! We were both shocked, but we couldn’t complain! I loved her reading her questionnaire that I sent before the shoot. She shared that they don’t know the gender of the baby, and […]

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 […]

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 […]
