In my opinion, there's nothing better than getting to make Missoula lifestyle family photos, especially when you have the opportunity to work with folks as delightful as Jennie, Terre, Clara, Riley, Erin, Iona and Thea are. Erin and Riley and their daughters Iona, 5, and Thea, 4, were visiting his parents and sister in Missoula, and we even managed to include Jennie and Terre's dogs, Zephyr, Pippin, and Clara's dog, Skadi in their photos! It was such a treat to capture the genuine essence of this super sweet family — and, to top it all off, we enjoyed a nice little sprinkle of fairies and magic, too. (I'm always a fan of that!) As a ...
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 ...
Sarah, Justin, Elise + Isabelle :: Missoula Montana summertime family photos
There's absolutely nothing, nothing, like getting to connect again and work with couples whose weddings I've photographed, especially when you get to meet their sweeter than sweet kiddos! Hanging out with Sarah and Justin for their Missoula Montana summertime family photos seriously felt like it was only yesterday that I'd photographed their wedding. And I'm so glad I was able to catch up with them during their Missoula visit! Their daughters, Elise, 6, and Isabelle, almost 3, were so cute in their matching dresses, and we managed to find some purple flowers for them to frolic in — talk about perfection! Purple is Isabelle's favorite ...
Tim, Courtney, Teddy + Violet :: Flathead Lake family photos
The ultimate compliment to me is getting to photograph families over the years and watch them grow together. I absolutely love getting to capture Flathead Lake family photos with Tim, Courtney, Teddy, and Violet. It's been a couple years since I last saw them (heyo, pandemic times), but it felt like we hadn't missed a beat in how we all hang out with each other. I just love their fun, spontaneous energy, especially when it involves some family "Twister" moves, haha! Eight-year-old Teddy and five-year-old Violet were eager to show me some of their gymnastic talents on their swing set (and on Tim, too)! The kiddos were extra curious about ...
Kristan, Ben, Lincoln + Cormac :: Missoula summer family photos at the University of Montana
I am always so happy when I hear from Kristan, Ben, Lincoln, and Cormac that they're back in town visiting, and that we get to make more Missoula summer family photos at the University of Montana for them! I've been photographing their family for several years now, and it is always an absolute delight to get to hang out with them, laugh together, and document their wonderful family! This year we decided to hike up the "M" trail a bit, explore the grasses, and have a blast laughing our heads off as we yelled Lincoln's favorite funny words. (I'll let you guess what a five-year-old boy might choose. 😉) We ventured back down to check out ...
Greg, Mary + Jeremiah :: Hamilton Montana family photos
Way back in November of last year, Greg reached out to me about making Hamilton Montana family photos of him, his wife, Mary, and their son Jeremiah — and he booked the session as a surprise Christmas present for Mary. Fast forward a bit, and we planned on photographing sometime in spring, but it rained and rained and rained, and I think we had to reschedule something like six times! However, even with all those reschedules and rain delays, serendipity was on our side, and we experienced the most gorgeous evening together. The wildflowers were even still in bloom due to our wet, cold spring. I met up with Greg, Mary, and Jeremiah on their ...
Simons Family :: Missoula Fall Family Pictures
It was another great session with the Simons family for their Missoula fall family pictures — the only season we hadn't hit yet in all our photo sessions together! And we totally lucked out with quintessential Montana fall colors during our shoot. Which, thankfully, took place after Missoula's mosquito population had diminished, and before Missoula's early October snowstorm and negative temperatures surprised us all. I think we may have threaded the needle there, haha! Our session was filled with pinecone hunting, skipping in the sun, climbing logs, tossing rocks, investigating colorful trees and their bright leaves, walks along the river, ...
Dana + Will :: Missoula Montana Mother and Son Session
I was so excited when Dana got in touch with me again about doing another Missoula Montana mother and son session with her 8-year-old boy, Will, because we'd had such a wonderful time together during our first session three years ago! Will's grown so much, and much like our first session, he's a boy who's curious and excited about life, loves the outdoors, adores his mother, and still retains a fascination with sticks and rocks and all the cool things we can find in the woods. It was so fun to see his imagination at play (at one point he created some "bike handlebars" from two sticks he he held together), and he had all sorts of ...
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 ...
The Bradley Family :: Fall Family Photos in Missoula Montana
As per usual, it was another fabulous session with the Bradley family for their fall family photos in Missoula Montana. I've been making photos for them for quite some time now (since 2010 actually - has it really been 8 years?! holy moly time flies!). And it's always just so fun to see the kids grow up and change right in front of my camera. Mother Nature treated us to an absolute stunner of an autumn day for their session - the sun was brilliant, the leaves had just begun to turn shades of golden, orange, and red, and we had a great time meandering around to find some fun little spots for their family portraits. I love to see how ...
