Wow. How quickly time passes. I’ve thought a long time about what to say for this post, but I feel like simple is the best. In July 2017, we had the privilege of shooting a family session for Hunter and his mom and dad. We had a great time and captured some wonderful memories. As many […]

I think that teaching is something we are all familiar with. It’s a part of nearly every child’s life. The teacher that they have, many times, has a lasting impact on their lives as adults. Yet, how many times do we see write ups, documentaries or newspaper articles talking about the unsung heroes that teachers […]

We spent the summer in the Amazon. Not the greatest time to go to an equatorial jungle, but we had a great time! The humid air was great for my skin, but my curly hair spent three months insisting it needed to be free to express itself in how it could be twice the size […]

I came out west when I was eighteen years old. I was in search of a new start, new chances, and ultimately, a better me. I grew up in a small town, and I enjoyed it- but I knew there were bigger things out there, new experiences and exciting changes ahead. Now, I have been […]

… Our 2018 senior season is over. I read an article recently that mentioned that this 2018 graduating class is the last class of seniors that will have even been alive during 9/11. Take a moment for that to sink in. Last generation to have even. been. alive. during 9/11. For the 2019 class, it […]

One thing we all know about here in Northeastern Montana is the wind, right? I loved working with Lindsey because she managed to deal with the wind and still look classy and elegant regardless! Lindsey is a busy girl with a big heart. Even as a young person, has an interest in spiritual things and […]

We have been thrilled this year with the amount of senior guys we have gotten to have sessions with! Don’t get me wrong, I absolutely love all of our beautiful girls with their great skin, gorgeous hair and super cute outfits! I’m a little biased when I say they are my favorites! Still, it’s nice to […]

Holy cow! What a busy season this has been! We thought we were alone for a while, but it seems like everyone we talk to, in Montana and in other states, is suffering from the same time crunch! Amidst all the craziness of life, however, it’s nice to find time for the things you enjoy, […]

Do you remember the first time you left home? If you were close with your parents, it could have been one of the most bittersweet times of your young life. The lingering hugs. Your mothers arms wrapped so tight around you. Hands that just won’t quiet let go. Trying to keep the tears at bay […]
