I knew I wanted to write a blog post about my mom for months, but I just couldn’t bring myself to sit down and drudge up all the emotions that I have so “successfully” suppressed over the past three years. So here we go. Here’s my story. It gets rough (it took me 8 tissues […]

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 […]

To be clear…this shoot was 34 degrees. In November. In Montana…And this mama-to-be showed up with a smile on her face and was ready to freeeeeeze. Should I add more ee’s on that one?

These two. They met over extra tickets to a college football game, and their love grew ever since. Zach and Kara met me at his family’s business in downtown Missoula on a bright and crisp autumn morning. The sky was clear blue and the leaves looked like confetti covering the quiet city streets on a […]

Okay. To be perfectly honest…I was HOPING these two would call me to be their wedding photographer after I had met them almost to the day, one year ago. On that day, I was taking photos of his sweet sister, in the crisp autumn air in what would turn out to be, a wedding where […]
