It's always so special to be able to make photos for seniors in a place that holds special significance to them. And Allie's Seeley Lake senior photos were a perfect example of this! Her mom grew up in the Bitterroot valley, and Allie's grandparents live in Seeley Lake. She's been visiting them every summer since 6th grade. (Allie currently lives in Georgia, and Georgia just doesn't have what we have here in Montana. Plus, apparently a LOT more snakes. 😅 ) Allie just loves the mountains and the lakes, and the wide expanses that Montana has to offer, so we made sure to showcase that in her senior photos. We initially had to postpone her ...
Brenna + Nathaniel :: Butte Montana Engagement photos
You know when you talk with people and just instantly connect? That's how I felt when I first chatted with Brenna and Nathaniel over the phone about their engagement and wedding photography. And I was just so, SO excited to get to make their Butte Montana engagement photos. We somehow avoided the rain, too! (Though it was cold enough we were actually wondering if it might snow, ha!) Brenna and Nathaniel are just the sweetest, and have been together for 10 years. I met up with them at their (gorrrrrgeous) home in Butte that has a beautiful view of the Tobacco Roots. Brenna's family used to own a ski hill right nearby (when it still got ...
Matthew + Amanda :: Wedding at the Nest on Swan River in Bigfork Montana
Matthew + Amanda's wedding at the Nest on Swan River in Bigfork Montana was truly the perfect day. Amidst a very wet spring season, the raindrops only came out here and there, but otherwise left us alone, and Mother Nature treated the couple to a stunning wedding day. We started off with some getting ready images. Everyone was so relaxed and chill (I'm always a big fan of that!), and people just truly seemed to be embracing the day and enjoying themselves. Laughter flowed freely, and I had such a blast getting to photograph Matthew, Amanda, their family, and friends. Flowering trees and lilacs were just at the tail end of their blooms, ...
Maelyn :: University of Montana graduation images
Oooh, am I ever stoked to share Maelyn's University of Montana graduation images with you today! When Maelyn's mom contacted me about making grad photos for her college graduation announcements, I was excited to get to work with her. Especially when she told me she wanted to go off campus to make her photos. (We opted to photograph towards the campus and have it just visible in the valley below.) Heck yes please! Making these images to celebrate such a major accomplishment is always so special to me. I can't help but remember that time in my own life, and how giddy, excited, nervous, and exhausted I was. I was beyond ready to graduate, ...
Mo + Liam :: Missoula Montana lifestyle newborn photos
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 ...
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 ...
Kristie, Darwin, Isaac, Sophia + Noah :: Family photos at the Ranch at Rock Creek
It was such a treat to get to meet up with Kristie, Darwin, Isaac, Sophia, and Noah for their family photos at the Ranch at Rock Creek! They were visiting Montana from Florida, so our weather was slightly different than what they're used to. We've had a very, very wet spring in Montana (did you see what happened to Yellowstone? 😳) , and even though it drizzled during our entire session, we still all made the most of it together! I loved seeing how much fun their entire family has together — there were plenty of giggles to go around, some "mom adjustments" to hairstyles and good-natured joking, and the kids definitely know how to make each ...
On assignment for Cyclist magazine :: Tyler Hamilton shoot in Missoula Montana
Recently I had the pleasure of going on assignment for Cyclist magazine to photograph Tyler Hamilton for a feature the magazine was doing on him for their summer issue, which is on news stands now. Tyler Hamilton was one of the whistleblowers who helped to reveal cycling's doping scandal — including doping by Lance Armstrong, as well as his own use during his own racing career. Tyler detailed all of that in his autobiography (co-written with Daniel Coyle), The Secret Race: Inside the Hidden World of the Tour de France. (It went on to become a New York Times bestseller.) We fit in our shoot during Tyler's son's nap time, and he was just ...
Dandelion Catering :: Spring Food Photography in Missoula Montana
I constantly ask myself this question when shooting food photography: "How on earth can food be so darn gorgeous?" Here's how — so much of it has to do with the chef behind it, and Tara of Dandelion Catering is an absolute magician when it comes to her food's beauty and taste. Both are divine! We had such a great time during Dandelion Catering's spring food photography in Missoula Montana, and we even got to create some business branding imagery, too. Dandelion Catering's space is cozy, light, and bright, and immediately inviting. And for good reason — you will 100% want to hang out a while and let the delicious aromas waft over you as you ...
Janelle :: Missoula Senior Photos in the Spring
Senior photos are some of my favorite images to make. And Janelle's Missoula senior photos in the spring were no exception. I was so excited to meet her and her mom and accompany them to one Janelle's most favorite places up Deep Creek. (Janelle's mom hadn't even been there before, and neither had I!) It's a rocky beach area right along the river, with beautiful view of the mountains. Janelle told me that she loves to go there to hang out with her friends as they run their dogs. And she especially loves it because it's got amazing sunsets. Driving to this location was a long, bumpy journey, and I've got to admit, I was a little worried ...
