What if your Yellowstone adventure was documented as beautifully as it was experienced?⁠

This collaborative experience with pairs a private wildlife tour with professional documentary photography, giving your family the chance to fully settle into the wonder of Yellowstone while I quietly document your family immersed in the experience — the excitement of spotting wildlife, kids peeking through spotting scopes, conversations with your guide, and those little in-between moments of discovery that make this place unforgettable.⁠

There’s no pressure to stop and pose every few minutes. Instead, I take a documentary-style approach, preserving your adventure as it naturally unfolds so you can stay present and enjoy the experience together.⁠

FAQ: Is this a portrait session or a wildlife tour?⁠
It’s both! You’ll enjoy a private guided wildlife experience with , while I document your family exploring, learning, and connecting with Yellowstone in a meaningful, natural way.⁠

There’s something extra special about late summer light in Yellowstone. Warm mountains behind her, that beautiful golden glow, and the quiet anticipation of everything that’s about to change — it’s such a sweet season to photograph!⁠

FAQ: When is the best time to schedule maternity photos?⁠
I usually recommend sometime between 28–34 weeks, when your belly is beautifully visible but you’re still feeling comfortable enough to move around and enjoy the experience.⁠

Apparently four-year-olds only come with two speeds: asleep and absolutely flying. Around here, childhood looks a lot like moving bike tires, wild hair, scraped knees, and racing toward whatever adventure is waiting next.⁠

FAQ: Do you photograph your own kids the same way you photograph client sessions?⁠
Absolutely! Some of my favorite images are the in-between, everyday moments — the ones that feel ordinary now but become priceless later.⁠

Yellowstone likes to keep us on our toes — and this session was proof of that! We had June snow, a little rain, and the kind of weather that makes most people think a session is ruined… but honestly? It turned into some of the dreamiest, most memorable portraits. ⁠

FAQ: What happens if the weather turns during our session?⁠
Montana weather changes fast, and after photographing in Yellowstone for years, I know how to pivot! Sometimes we adjust timing, sometimes we tuck into a different location, and sometimes we lean into it — because a little wild weather can create seriously beautiful magic.⁠
