Katie and Dan are so refreshing to be around. Their love is so comfortable, full of laughter and ease! They weren’t afraid to just be them, and that’s all I ever want to see as a photographer!

We decided to head up to Skalkaho Falls for their engagement session, a place that is near and dear to their hearts and mine. I grew up driving over Skalkaho Pass every summer with my family, on our way to

Jenn and Robert’s intimate backyard wedding in Missoula, Montana, was one of my favorite weddings to date. It was colorful, joyful, simple, and down to earth, and oh so beautiful. They celebrated with their closest friends, family and their adorable son, with a sweet ceremony, cocktail hour, yard games and a casual dinner, all while being serenaded by…

It was such a lovely evening hanging out with Hannah and Nick for their engagement session! The weather was perfect, not too hot or cold, and the two of them had a natural chemistry that was so fun to photograph. They weren’t afraid to laugh and flirt with each other, something I love to see in the couple’s I work with! 

We took a short hike up to an area I’ve never taken any clients. There’s sage brush all over (one of my favorites!) and these gorgeous rocks that stand tall from the ground. Hannah’s dress was so romantic with the swooped low back, I couldn’t get enough of photographing it!…

Maddie and Caleb’s wedding at Gallatin River Hideaway in Bozeman, Montana was one I won’t soon forget! It was a little different than the normal weddings I photograph, because these two are part of TLC’s show, Sister Wives! Instead of working with a typical videographer team, I got to work with a whole TV crew – so crazy and fun!

When Maddie first met Caleb, she wasn’t really fond of him, but after a while they became good friends. Three years after they met, they were ATV riding when those “more than friends” sparks started to fly…

I always feel so honored that I have the opportunity to work with really amazing people in this world –  couples that are madly in love, that value marriage and commitment, and who value photography as a way to capture their moments together. Emily and Eric are no different! These two are my kind of people. They love the outdoors, are down to earth, friendly, and there’s no doubt that they adore each other… we even like the same baby names!

I met Brittany last summer at Ryan and Kym’s wedding (blog coming soon!) and was instantly impressed at her organization and professionalism as their day-of coordinator. She didn’t have her own business at the time, but it was obvious that she was going to be good at it when the time came! 

A few weeks back, Brittany contacted me letting me know that she had finally started up Soiree 99 Events, an event planning business based here in the Bitterroot Valley. We met up for coffee and chatted about her vision and style as a planner, coordinating some shoots together, and getting her some updated head shots…

Soiree 99 Events

I can’t believe it’s almost time to welcome our newest addition to our family! Our baby boy has already spent a little over 33 weeks growing inside me, and the time has FLOWN BY. It feels like just yesterday that I was packing my gear into my car, headed to photograph the first of two weddings that weekend in August, still in shock that the test I took that morning told me I was pregnant….

What To Expect When I’m Expecting

I’m pretty sure I’m a little late to the game, but podcasts have been my go-to lately. I very rarely have time to sit down and read (I really should take time out of my day for that!), so the digital form of a book or listening to a podcast is how I’ve been using any spare downtime I have! I usually listen when I’m driving to and from shoots and weddings since that’s when I don’t have anyone else in the car with me. 

My podcast playlist looks an awful lot like my music playlist… a mix of just about everything. Check out my current favorites!…
