It was one heckuva gorgeous Montana day for Alexis and Joe's Bowman Lake elopement in Glacier National Park. We had a bluebird sky above, pristine reflections on the lake in front of us, and oh so much sun! Suffice it to say, Montana really pulled out all the stops for Alexis and Joe's special day! These two originally met in Denver at a bluegrass show and moved to Missoula a little over two years ago. Because they love their time in the outdoors (camping and hiking especially), Joe proposed to Alexis in Glacier. So it was particularly fitting that they tied the knot there, too! We started out the day by meeting up at their Air BnB just ...

Rilee + Nick :: Colorful Autumn Engagement Photos
It was so fun to photograph Rilee and Nick's colorful autumn engagement photos - not only because we timed our session perfectly and were treated to some absolutely brilliant yellows oranges and reds, but because these two are just a blast to work with! I'd photographed Nick's older brother Jamie's wedding a few years earlier, so when Rilee and Nick contacted me about doing their engagement and wedding photos I knew we'd click (no pun intended!). As was standard for this year, we had some rain clouds threatening in the background as well as a few raindrops to start out our session. But thankfully the impending storm skirted around us and ...
Kelsey + Sam :: Moon Randolph Homestead Wedding
We were all watching the weather forecast and the skies leading up to Kelsey and Sam's Moon Randolph Homestead wedding because a winter storm was brewing (in September of all things!), and no one quite knew what Mother Nature would surprise us with. Thankfully we managed to avoid the snow until later in the evening, but Kelsey and Sam's wedding has got to go down in history as one of the coldest weddings I've ever photographed in September! (If I recall correctly, I think the windchill had the temps feeling like the teens to low 20's! Brrr!) Despite the chill, Kelsey and Sam absolutely made the most of their day (and the lack of snow!), ...
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 ...
Emilia :: Missoula Newborn Baby Session
Getting to see and documents my clients' milestones in their lives will always be one of my most favorite things to photograph. When Christine and Anders told me they were pregnant with their first baby and they wanted me to photograph her newborn images upon her arrival, suffice it to say, I was ecstatic! And little miss Emilia's Missoula newborn baby session was just a treat! Her fur siblings (Misha and Sam) were pretty darn excited for the session too, and it's clear just how much they love their newest little human. (And Misha just always loves to work it for the camera, which always has us all cracking up. haha!) Emilia was one ...
Michele + Philip :: Quinn’s Hot Springs Resort Wedding
When Michele and I talked on the phone about her Quinn's Hot Springs Resort wedding to her love, Philip, I knew we'd have a wonderful time working together and capturing all the excitement and happiness of their wedding day. (Fun fact: they actually met five years ago to the day they decided to get married!) Michele and Philip currently live in Nevada, but chose Montana as their place to tie the know because Philip's family is from Superior. And it couldn't have been a a more gorgeous Montana day for them! After some final last touches during the getting ready process, it was time for their ceremony to start! Michele walked down the ...
