When Keriann got in touch with me about making Missoula Montana in-home maternity photos to celebrate this time in her and Alex’s life before their twins’ arrival, I was absolutely thrilled! Though I don’t have any children of my own, I can imagine how exciting it must be to have two little ones joining the family. It was a snowy, sunny day for our session (we’d experienced a bit of a small blizzard the evening before), so we kept things close to their home, which was cozy, inviting, and full of beautiful light. It was so nice to laugh with each other as we talked about what it felt like to hear they were having twins (exciting and ...
Erin + Chris :: Missoula Summer Maternity Photos
I was so excited to meet up with Erin and Chris for their Missoula summer maternity photos. I hadn't yet connected with them because their maternity session (and upcoming newborn portraits) were a gift from Erin's sisters. (Side note: what an amazingly thoughtful gift to give!) When I met them for their maternity session, it turns out that Erin and I had met a few years back during the "For Women's Only" ski program at Snowbowl. (Funny how small towns work like that!) It was so nice to see her again in this new stage of her life, and we had such a fantastic time making images to celebrate her mama-ness. Their 10-year-old border collie ...
Rachael + Joe :: Missoula Springtime Maternity Photos
I always love documenting people during new stages of their lives, and I was so excited when Rachael reached out to me about making Missoula springtime maternity photos to celebrate such a special time as she and her partner, Joe, await the arrival of their first child. As we walked and talked during their shoot, they told me that their little boy is due at the end of May. He'll be joining two older fur siblings, one of whom made a cameo in this session as well. Rookie, their mini doodle, was beyond excited for his moment in front of the lens and could barely contain himself. But he absolutely knew how to work it for the camera and flashed ...
Katie, Mike + Ruth :: Wintry Missoula Maternity Photos
It's a huge understatement to say how enjoyable it's been over the past nine years to get to work with Katie and Mike and capture their life events on film for them! So, during their family session this past spring I was especially excited to hear that they were expecting again in February, and even happier to get to photograph their wintry Missoula maternity photos to ring in 2020, this time with big sister, Ruth, as part of the images, too! We've had a pretty warm winter thus far, but I think Mother Nature heard our pleas for snow and treated us to a fresh dusting that afternoon, as well as some perfectly-timed snowflakes a little later ...
Becka + Stephan :: Missoula Montana Springtime Maternity Photos
I just love getting to work with Becka and Stephan - we've made family portraits together, and I've documented their wedding and their rock the dress session - so when Becka contacted me to tell me that she was pregnant and wanted me to make some Missoula Montana springtime maternity photos to celebrate this happy occasion for their family, I was just SO excited! These two are always so much fun to photograph, and I feel so fortunate to be able to document so many amazing things in their lives. Thankfully the weather held out for us (though we did get sprinkled on a bit because, you know, that's just par for the course in Missoula in the ...
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 ...
Kelci + Michael :: Wintry Missoula Maternity Photos
I know I've said this before, but I'll say it again - there's really nothing better than getting to work with past clients in new stages of their lives. So when Kelci and Michael contacted me about doing their wintry Missoula maternity photos to document the excitement surrounding their very first baby, I was, simply put, giddy (which is totally an understatement). I've had the pleasure of getting to photograph their engagement, their wedding, now their maternity session, and soon, their sweet little baby! As I knew we would, we had such a blast making these photos. Kelci and Michael are the absolute sweetest people, and were just as ...
Katherine + Mike :: Missoula Maternity Photos
I was so tickled when Katie recently got in touch with me to do her Missoula maternity photos - not only because she's pregnant with her first baby (SO EXCITING!), but also because I was so looking forward to seeing her and her husband, Mike, again too. I have had the pleasure of making photos for them before - for their engagement images, their wedding day, and their rock the dress photos, and I was so looking forward to getting to see them again and document this new, wonderful stage in their lives! Katie and Mike decided to have their photos done at Mike's parents' property - which is actually where we did their engagement photos way ...
