I was so looking forward to documenting Sammy and James's Missoula Montana Line Ranch wedding since we had had such a fantastic time during their engagement session - and their wedding was everything I expected it would be and more! The joy and fun that permeated their day was simply intoxicating in the best way possible. We started out their day by making images of Sammy getting ready at her parents' house. Once ready to go, Sammy and James had a private first look, and then it was time to start making portraits! We all jumped aboard the bus and made our way downtown to some of Sammy's favorite spots from her time growing up in ...

Kelsey + John :: Summertime Glacier National Park Elopement
Every time I go to Glacier it's always a little bit different, which is something that I just adore about zipping on up there. Kelsey and John live in Pennsylvania but worked in Glacier for 6 months in 2017 and had many fond memories of their time in the area. So they knew the perfect way to start their married life together would be to have a summertime Glacier National Park elopement. And perfection it was! John's sister, Mary, joined them as well as Kyle, John's longtime best friend, who was also their officiant. We had such a wonderful time checking out the park together, all of us piled into their rented Subaru, and started out at ...

They're such a great, fun group - many of whom I met at Becka and Stephan's wedding - and they made photographing this many people a cinch. We had a blast making images of all the different couples, made some super cute images of all the various cousins together, and managed to get everyone in one photo together, too - dogs included! In between it all we grabbed some candid ...
Kristan, Ben, Lincoln, Janet + Jessica :: University of Montana Summertime Family Photos
When Kristan got in touch with me this year to make University of Montana summertime family photos again of her, her husband Ben, their son Lincoln, Ben's mother Janet and Ben's sister Jessica I was beyond excited because we'd had such a blast last summer making images for them. And this year was no exception! Lincoln, now two, was as energetic as ever, ready to rocket all over campus, climb up and down stairs, balance on curbs, swing from his parents' arms, giggle with his grammie and auntie, and challenge me to mini races. The boundless joy in this little guy is pretty magical and absolutely contagious! He had us all laughing and my ...
