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 month at the time of her session, and she was all about cuddles, taking snack breaks when modeling for the camera was too much, and generally getting doted on by her parents.

I became absolutely smitten with Emilia’s most darling tiny nose (to which Christine gave many, many kisses). And Anders especially loved to squish Emilia’s most squishable of cheeks.

But the best part of this session was getting to see Christine and Anders as new parents. The depth of the love they have for their little girl is so beautifully apparent. Getting to watch them simply gaze at their sweet baby nearly had me all kerfluffled (in the best way possible of course), because dang – life is beautiful!

To top it off, I got to hold little miss Emilia at the end of our session, and I nearly melted. (Glad we didn’t get pics of that, haha!)

Christine, Anders, Emilia, Misha and Sam – I am always just filled with joy getting to spend time with you – and I love, love, loved getting to meet Emilia! Congrats to all of you on this beautiful, amazing new adventure! Here’s to an exciting future! And thank you again for having me document the start of this new journey for you all!

On the Docket:

Portraits, weddings, and elopements! Stay tuned!

I recently photographed Becka and Stephan’s maternity photos, so I was beyond excited to get to meet little mister Brayden to make his Lolo Montana newborn images – and he did fabulously during his session at only 13 days new!

He did a most excellent job of demonstrating his eating, snuggling, yelling and finger-grabbing abilities and had us all enraptured with his sweet little face and adorable tiny fingers and toes.

Even Daisy the family dog got to pop in for a few images too – I think Brayden is a dog-whisperer at heart!

One of the most amazing things about newborn sessions is getting to watch my past couples turn into parents (I’ve photographed Becka and Stephan’s family session, wedding, rock the dress session, maternity session and now Brayden’s newborn images!). Stephan and Becka are naturals and Brayden’s big brothers, Brodee and Blayz clearly love their new little brother too (including making sure he gets initiated with some big-brother nose boops!).

Thanks again Becka, Stephan, Brodee, Blayz, Brayden and Daisy for such a sweet session! I always love getting to photograph your family and I’m so excited to have been able to document Brayden’s newborn stage – here’s to capturing all the milestones for you over the years! And congrats again on your newest addition! What a little love Brayden is!
