Mom and three kids sit together on grass surrounded by fallen leaves in Great Falls, MT photography session

Your family is one of a kind, and your photos should be too!

As a mom of six kids and a photographer of many more, I bring a laid-back approach, lots of patience, and a bit of playfulness to every session.

I'll help you turn the chaos, laughter, and love of family life into timeless, heartfelt images.

  • The light is best for outdoor photo locations 1-2 hours before sunset, or during the first few hours of the morning.

    If you have small children, they usually are at their best in the morning.

    I am flexible with session times, so if these times don’t work for your family, just let me know and we'll find a time that does.

  • Of course! I’ll send you a location guide featuring several of my favorite locations to help you choose. Or if you have a specific location in mind, just let me know.

    Mini sessions are done at Garden Home Park, so no need to choose a location if you’re doing a mini session.

  • Your session will include both lightly posed and more candid/lifestyle shots. If you have a preference for one over the other, just let me know!

  • I recommend mini sessions for families with kids 4 & up who want a quick session or just need a few photos.

    They're also great for simple senior or maternity sessions.

  • You'll receive a link to an online gallery of all the best images from your session, lightly edited, within 2 weeks.

  • Of course! All sessions include a print release, so you can print your photos wherever you like. You can also order professional-quality prints directly through your gallery.

    I recommend using Mpix for the lab if you print your photos yourself. They won’t alter the color balance of your photos like consumer labs such as Walgreens often do.

Frequently Asked Questions

FAQs for all session types

Maternity & Newborn FAQs

  • The ideal time for your maternity session is when you're between 30 & 35 weeks pregnant, to ensure that your baby bump is big enough to show off nicely. They can be done after 35 weeks also, though I recommend not later than 37-38 weeks in case baby decides to make an early arrival.

  • Absolutely, you're welcome to bring things that are related to your baby for your maternity session! Ultrasound pictures, a onesie, or tiny baby booties are some favorite props.

  • I typically do newborn sessions when baby is one to two weeks old, though it's fine if baby is a little older.

  • No. I do lifestyle newborn photography, which uses your home as the backdrop and focuses on capturing the natural interactions between your new baby and your family, and your sweet little one's natural beauty.

  • No, but I encourage you to include items that are special to you, such as a sign with baby's name or favorite books, toys, blankets, or outfits.

  • I schedule newborn sessions between 9 am & noon as babies tend to be the most sleepy and content during the morning.
