The Lifestyle family shoot to beat all family shoots…W.O.W. Z. A. From the colors, to the location, and most importantly, the people…this one will be one to beat–I dare someone to try ;). Wet during golden hour, aka photographer talk for two hours before sunset and drove to a meadow in the south hills of […]
This wedding will be one for the memory books. One could FEEL the love at this wedding. They could also feel the anticipation–the excitement! You see, the bride and groom decided to wait to have their first kiss at the alter. Seriously! And to witness this as a photographer…it was amazing. All the feels! When […]
Dustin and I go way back. Well, let me restate that, Dustin and my husband go WAY back. They were best buds in high school (and still are), and Dustin was even in our wedding. I’ll spare you our wedding photos–let’s just say I was wearing bright orange Rocket Dog tennis shoes under my gown…lol. […]
May weddings. Nothing is more gorgeous than the green grass and blossoming trees, but nothing is more stressful than rainy wedding days! It had been raining for days before this May wedding, and I was anxiously watching my weather app for days before Brittney and Zach’s wedding day. Rain in Helena, Montana is somewhat rare. […]

I titled this blog “Montana Spring Engagement Session”. What I should have titled it was “Winter Spring Engagement Session”. It was FREEZING. Poor Bryce had just gotten home from Afghanistan and was being such a trooper in the almost eighty degree temperature difference. But did I hear one complaint out of him? Nope. He was […]
When you get a shoot like this, you wake up the next morning almost in awe that it even happened. It was a beautiful spring day when I drove up to the Graybill’s home. Although windy, the sun was pouring down its warmth as I walked up the steps of their turn of the century […]
Montana weddings. Pretty tough not to love them. I have driven through Plains, Montana hundreds of times on my way to visit my parents in Sandpoint, Idaho. Never did I think I would ever have a wedding there. That was until I got a message from a dear college friend, Marie, who asked me if […]
Engagement sessions in winter can be interesting…and fairly painful… That’s why you have a car (running with the heater full-blast) about 10 feet away from you at all times.
