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 ...
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 ...
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 ...
Piper + Family :: Florence Montana Lifestyle Newborn Photos
I think one of the best parts of my job is getting to photograph families as they grow. So when Lindsay contacted me to ask about doing Florence Montana lifestyle newborn photos of her sweet little baby girl, Piper, I was just tickled! Not only was I excited to meet Piper, but I was so looking forward to seeing Lindsay and Scott and their daughter, Madison again - whom I'd photographed two years earlier in 2015 as a newborn herself. It is such a huge understatement to say just how much I loved their session. Piper was as sweet as can be at twelve days new, and pretty awake and alert just like her big sister had been during her session too! ...
The Siefert Family :: Missoula Newborn and Family Portraits
When Nicole contacted me about photographing their new baby girl, Marlowe, for Missoula newborn and family portraits I was so excited to get to work with them again. Just a few short years earlier, I had had such a wonderful time photographing their brand new baby boy, Ted! And Ted's now a walking, talking two-year-old who has the cutest little smile and is pretty proud to be a big brother to his baby sister. Ted was happy to share plenty of kisses with Marlowe, he helped me count her fingers, and we all had a blast saying some silly words that got us all cracking up. :) Marlowe rolled with our photo shoot shenanigans, dozed in the warm ...
Thanksgiving Family Fun! – {Western Montana Family Portraits}
So....I'm not sure there's anything better than meeting past bride's and groom's adorable little babies - and that certainly was the case when I met up with Nicole, Jason, their twin babies Walker and Gia, and Nicole's sister and brother and their families for their Thanksgiving get-together outside of Missoula, at the ranch Nicole and Jason celebrated their wedding day. (You might recognize Nicole and Jason from the cover of the Brides and Grooms magazine a few years back.) It was so nice to see everyone again and meet such sweet little bundles of cute! We all had a great time being goofy for the babies and walking around the ranch a bit ...
Splish Splashing! – {The Chandler’s Flathead Lake Family Session}
Could there be anything better than spending time on Flathead Lake? I'm pretty sure that the lake is a recipe for paradise. And the Chandler family enjoys a piece of this every summer at their family's Flathead Lake cabin. I met up with them there to document their 7-month-old daughter, Marianne's, first time at the lake, and make some fun images of them hanging out and doing their thing. Marianne showed us all how best to munch on rocks and mangoes, how to splash in the lake properly, and how to grin so adults hearts melt (I know mine certainly did!). :) Thank you so much for inviting me to spend a little time with you all and capture ...
