I’m so excited to share baby Mo and baby Liam's Missoula Montana lifestyle newborn photos session with you today! After making Keriann's maternity photos, I just couldn’t wait to meet these little ones! And how fun that Keriann and Alex have both a little boy and girl in their lives! There’s something just so, so special about documenting lifestyle newborn sessions. I love meeting the wee ones, but even more beautiful is getting to see people turn into parents. It was amazing to witness how absolutely brilliant they are in their new roles. Keriann and Alex certainly have a lot on their plates now, but boy, are they ever knocking it out of the ...
Lauren, Garrick, Quinn + Burke :: Snowy Missoula family photos
The third time was the charm for Lauren, Garrick, Quinn, and Burke's snowy Missoula family photos! The weather had a mind of its own and kept misbehaving and raining, but things got a bit colder and turned to snow, so we went for it, and were treated to that in-between time in the autumn where the leaves are still brilliantly colored, but there's snow on the ground. Quinn, nearly 3, was a big fan of the colliding seasons and had a blast playing in the leaves, while also making a (face-down!) snow angel and some snow balls. She was absolutely beyond excited for our photo session and was all about running hither thither and yon. She ...
Baby B :: Missoula baby portraits
I was so excited to get to meet baby B and document his Missoula baby portraits. And, even at just a little over two months old, he was the most adorable little pro during his session! B loved to coo and smile at his daddy, and they both especially enjoyed sticking their tongues out at each other. As you might guess, this was basically about the cutest thing in the world to witness. I think we all melted a bit! Baby B's got opinions and character to beat the band! B's micro expressions were so sweet, and even when he was upset, his little jutting jaw was beyond cute. After making some photos outside with his mom and dad, we moved ...
Baby S :: Lolo Montana Newborn Photos
I was so tickled to hear from Joanna and Taylor that they were expecting a little boy (I'd photographed their wedding back in 2019), and that they wanted to have baby S's Lolo Montana newborn photos at The Jack, where they had been married! Even more special was that our session date was originally S's due date. This adorable little guy was two weeks old at his session and he was such a sweetheart. He snoozed a bit, didn't fuss, and generally had a good time chilling out, looking around at all the trees surrounding him. He especially loved snuggles from his parents and grandparents, and enjoyed grasping the occasional finger here and ...
Maximilian :: Baby and Family Photos at Flathead Lake
I was so excited when Taylor contacted me about making some baby and family photos at her family's place on Flathead Lake, because I had photographed her little sister, Kristi's, senior photos there 7 years prior! Not only that, but I had made a few images of Taylor and Matt during that session, too. And they had only just been dating at the time! Fast forward a few years, and Taylor and Matt are married now and have a darling little baby boy, Maximilian! Max was 2 months old during our most recent session, and what a little trooper he was! He loved looking at the sky, getting kisses from his doggo siblings, is a huge fan of all of his ...
Emilia :: Missoula Newborn Baby Session
Getting to see and documents my clients' milestones in their lives will always be one of my most favorite things to photograph. When Christine and Anders told me they were pregnant with their first baby and they wanted me to photograph her newborn images upon her arrival, suffice it to say, I was ecstatic! And little miss Emilia's Missoula newborn baby session was just a treat! Her fur siblings (Misha and Sam) were pretty darn excited for the session too, and it's clear just how much they love their newest little human. (And Misha just always loves to work it for the camera, which always has us all cracking up. haha!) Emilia was one ...
Melissa, Sean + Emma :: Missoula Family and Baby Photos
I was just so gosh darn excited when Melissa contacted me to ask about making some photos of her, her husband, Sean, and their 2-month-old baby girl, Emma for their Missoula family and baby photos while they were in town visiting! We'd had such a great time together capturing their wedding day, so I knew the photos with their newest little addition would be such a treat! As was the theme this summer, we had to dodge some raindrops (and some thunder, which safely stayed far, far away from us), but everyone handled it beautifully. It turns out that Emma seemed to really love the Montana breeze on her adorable smiling cheeks and blowing ...
Brayden :: Lolo Montana Newborn Images
I recently photographed Becka and Stephan's maternity photos, so I was beyond excited to get to meet little mister Brayden to make his Lolo Montana newborn images - and he did fabulously during his session at only 13 days new! He did a most excellent job of demonstrating his eating, snuggling, yelling and finger-grabbing abilities and had us all enraptured with his sweet little face and adorable tiny fingers and toes. Even Daisy the family dog got to pop in for a few images too - I think Brayden is a dog-whisperer at heart! One of the most amazing things about newborn sessions is getting to watch my past couples turn into parents ...
Katie, Anthony + Dominic :: Missoula Family, Maternity and Baby Photos
Oh goodness me - what an absolute blast I had with Katie, Anthony and Dominic for their Missoula family, maternity and baby photos the other day. I was so, so excited when Katie contacted me about making these images because 1) I just adore them (I photographed both their engagement and wedding) and 2) I hadn't yet met mister 14-month-old Dominic yet! AND Katie told me she's due with another little one at the end of January - so there is a lot to be excited about! Not surprisingly, Dominic is completely adorable. For having just learned to walk about a month before their session, he motored around very well and navigated the tall grass ...
Hallie :: Missoula Newborn Baby Photos
I tell you, there's nothing better than getting to document such happy milestones in people's lives. And I've been so honored to get to photograph Kelci and Michael's happiest moments - from their engagement, to their wedding, to their maternity images and now to their adorable daughter Hallie's Missoula newborn baby photos! I was so excited to get to meet miss Hallie, and my word is she ever adorable! Hallie was wide awake and bright-eyed for our session, and so eager to look at the world at only 6 days new! She has got the cutest, softest cheeks (that just demand a little gentle squishing), the sweetest little toes and fingers, and she's ...
