There’s a quiet kind of magic in these moments… the kind that feels like soft light, whispered promises, and little kicks that remind you what love can create. This season is fleeting, but these memories? They’ll feel like golden light forever. 🌿✨
Here’s to new beginnings, tiny heartbeats, and the wild beauty of motherhood. 💛

Parents always worry their kids won’t “behave” for photos, but let me tell you kids run the show, and that’s 𝘦𝘹𝘢𝘤𝘵𝘭𝘺 how it should be. This little one wasn’t feeling the early morning snow, wanted nothing to do with the sled, and was fully ready to call it quits. 😂 But instead of forcing it, we pivoted (aka pulled out the secret weapons: a donut + hot chocolate for her and coffee for us ☕️), and suddenly, we had pure magic. ✨

That’s the beauty of these sessions they aren’t always about stiff poses or forced smiles. They’re about capturing your family as they 𝘳𝘦𝘢𝘭𝘭𝘺 are, even if that means snack breaks, silly faces, or letting your kid take the lead. It always turns out even better than planned.

Huge shoutout to for letting us shoot in their stunning space! It was my first time there, and wow the interior? Gorgeous. The coffee? Perfection. The staff? The nicest ever. 10/10 will be back.

So if you’re stressing about your kid not sitting still for photos, don’t. I got you. We roll with it, and trust me it 𝘢𝘭𝘸𝘢𝘺𝘴 works out. 🖤

🍂 As fall starts winding down, I’ve been soaking up every single family session, and this one…yep, it’s giving me all the cozy feels! Just look at the glow in these shots, and the connection in each little moment. It’s the real, honest stuff — the kind of photos you’ll look back on and feel like you’re right there all over again. 🖤✨

With the holiday season just around the corner, I’m beyond grateful to help capture moments like these. It’s not about getting every detail perfect; it’s about the laughs, the hugs, the real-life love that makes a family’s story. Thank you to this amazing family for letting me capture your world — it’s an honor, and I’m here for every bit of it. 📸

It’s been the greatest honor to document this sweet family’s journey, from their first pregnancy to now welcoming their precious little girl, completing their trio of two boys and one girl! 💙💙💗 Watching their family grow has been a privilege I can’t even begin to put into words. From those early days with their first baby boy to this beautiful moment of their little girl arriving, every session has been filled with so much love and joy.

Getting to know them has been such a special gift. Their love and bond as a family shine in every photo, and I’m truly grateful to be part of their story. ✨ Seeing the smiles, the giggles, and all the tender moments between them makes my job feel like a dream.

Not only are they an incredible family, but her candles are also seriously amazing! 🕯 Her company, Beartooth Candle Co., makes the ONLY candles I burn in my house now. They smell divine and add the perfect cozy touch to any home. 🙌 If you haven’t already, you HAVE to check them out. They are incredible! 🔥💫

Our friendship has always been anything but ordinary. It began in the most unexpected, chaotic way — the kind of story you almost can’t believe — and yet, here we are, years later, still laughing, still showing up for each other through every up and down. 💛 From wild late nights to the rollercoaster of life, we’ve shared it all.

One of my favorite memories? When she and her daughter tagged along with me on an epic road trip to Glacier, helping me pull off a surprise proposal for Taylor and Kayla. 💍 She played the role perfectly, helping me look like just a casual photographer out on the job, snapping photos, before we dropped the big surprise! (BTW, if you haven’t seen those photos yet, go check them out — they are pure fire 🔥).

The trip itself was an adventure, full of laughter, spontaneous moments, and incredible views. We sang our way through the mountains 🎶 and even pulled off the road to a random waterfall where we captured some of the most breathtaking photos I’ve ever taken. 📸✨ That whole day was filled with magic — not just in the surprise engagement, but in the little moments shared with my best friend.

Friendships like ours don’t come around often — opposites in so many ways, yet perfectly in sync where it counts. She’s been my constant through all the craziness, and I’m beyond grateful for this bond that makes life’s adventures even sweeter. Here’s to all the memories we’ve created and the ones still to come. 🫶✨

🌲💍 𝐓𝐇𝐄 𝐒𝐖𝐄𝐄𝐓𝐄𝐒𝐓 𝐒𝐔𝐑𝐏𝐑𝐈𝐒𝐄 💍🌲

Y’ALL, I’ve got a story for you! 🤩 I had the absolute honor of documenting Taylor and Kayla’s SURPRISE engagement session all the way up in Glacier National Park!!! 🏞️✨ FYI: this was my FIRST EVER surprise engagement shoot and let me tell you, it was one for the books! 😱💖

Taylor reached out to me with a mission — to pull off the most epic, heart-stopping proposal without Kayla knowing a thing. When Kayla came up to Montana to visit, they were planning on heading up to Lake McDonald at Glacier, and that's where the MAGIC happened. 🌊✨

Here’s the kicker: I was sitting at the end of the dock, camera in hand, pretending to just be "hanging out" 🤷‍♀️… trying not to look super suspicious 😂. And THEN, right before they arrived, the rain magically stopped! 🌦️🌈 (I swear the universe was in on this surprise 🥹). The moment they walked up, Kayla had NO CLUE what was about to go down! The look on her face when Taylor dropped to one knee… OMG, talk about the most romantic, heartwarming surprise EVER!!! 💍❤️😭

After a quick outfit change, we took a few more photos down by the water, capturing all the love and sweetness between these two. 🌊✨ But as if on cue, the wind and cool breeze strolled back in just as we wrapped up. 🌬️ It was truly meant to be. 🖤✨

Taylor and Kayla, you guys are seriously THE CUTEST, and your love is just 🔥🔥. I’m still gushing over how perfect this day was! 🥹 Thank you so much for letting me be part of such an incredible, life-changing moment. 🥰🌲

Twenty years with my childhood best friend. From long summer days running wild to late-night adventures fueled by Monster Energy drinks and unforgettable nights with friends — we’ve lived it all. We’ve laughed until we cried, helped each other through heartbreaks, and celebrated life’s biggest milestones. And now, here I am, with so much pride in my heart, photographing her as the incredible mom she’s become to three beautiful babies. 🫶👩‍👧‍👦

Capturing these moments feels like hitting pause on the whirlwind of life. It’s not just about the photos of today, but all the history we’ve built together. Every frame carries pieces of the laughter, tears, and wild times that led us here. Seeing her in this season of life, thriving as a mom, fills me with pride beyond words. 💛

Friendships like ours are rare gems, and I’m incredibly honored to be the one behind the camera, freezing these moments in time. It’s a reminder of the love, loyalty, and unbreakable bond we share. Forever grateful for this journey and the memories still to come. 🌿📸

🌿 Capturing the Magic of Maternity 🌿

Alright, mamas-to-be, let’s talk about something important. Maternity photos. Yes, we all want those gorgeous shots that make you feel like the goddess you are, but how do we get there? It's all about timing, comfort, and emotion. Here are my top tips:

𝐓𝐢𝐦𝐢𝐧𝐠 𝐢𝐬 𝐊𝐞𝐲: Schedule your session between 28-36 weeks. Your belly is beautifully round, and you're (hopefully) still comfortable enough to move and pose.

𝐖𝐞𝐚𝐫 𝐖𝐡𝐚𝐭 𝐌𝐚𝐤𝐞𝐬 𝐘𝐨𝐮 𝐅𝐞𝐞𝐥 𝐀𝐦𝐚𝐳𝐢𝐧𝐠: Flowing dresses, comfy jeans, or even a fitted top — it’s about showcasing your personality and your beautiful bump. Don’t feel like you need to dress a certain way. If it doesn’t feel like you, it’s not going to feel right in the photos.

𝐂𝐨𝐧𝐧𝐞𝐜𝐭𝐢𝐨𝐧 𝐢𝐬 𝐄𝐯𝐞𝐫𝐲𝐭𝐡𝐢𝐧𝐠: Whether it's just you or with your partner and family, these sessions are about capturing your bond and the anticipation of new life. Be yourself, snuggle up, laugh, and let me worry about the rest!

𝐍𝐚𝐭𝐮𝐫𝐚𝐥 𝐋𝐢𝐠𝐡𝐭 𝐢𝐬 𝐘𝐨𝐮𝐫 𝐁𝐞𝐬𝐭 𝐅𝐫𝐢𝐞𝐧𝐝: I love shooting outdoors around sunrise or sunset to capture that golden glow and highlight your bump. Trust me, it's the magic hour for a reason.

✨ Let’s make these moments unforgettable — not just posed, but filled with love and excitement. These are the photos that your kid will look back on someday and see the joy of their beginning. Let’s get it on the books and capture this chapter of your journey!

🌧️ Well, this was one for the books! Right as we started shooting in the Bozeman mountains with Lauren and James (who traveled all the way from New York!), a serious downpour started that just wouldn’t let up ☔. By the end of it, I looked like I had taken a full shower out there 😂. We headed back into Bozeman to finish up their session, but wow, what a fun day! Stay tuned for the rest of this wild session – the second half has some incredible moments to share!

Lauren and James are such a special couple. They’re best friends with a shared dry sense of humor, and they’re on an adventure to visit all 50 states (Montana and Wyoming being their 15th and 16th!). Whether they’re exploring new places or chilling at home with some wine and a TV show, they’re the kind of couple that’s just so much fun to be around. Can’t wait to share more of this session with you all soon! 🌄
