Family Photography

As a Missoula family photographer, I get to meet so many families who are doing things a little differently. But doing it beautifully. One thing I’ve noticed more and more lately? Families choose homeschooling not just for flexibility or academics but for the chance to learn and grow in ways that align with their values. […]

Maybe it’s a little mean to say, but when you become a parent, you quickly become choosy about what toys you allow in your house. Sure, that neon green toy from Grandma will keep your child’s attention for ten minutes with its flashing lights and loud noises, but you are the one who has to […]

As a Missoula family photographer, I’m constantly inspired by how this community leans into the wild, the messy, and the magical moments of childhood. That’s why I’m such a fan of Tinkergarten. This program brings kids and families outdoors to learn through play, exploration, and connection. It’s a breath of fresh air (literally) for anyone […]

As a Missoula family photographer, I’ve learned that some of the best stories we tell don’t come from posed moments. They come from the in-between. The quiet confidence of a child who’s found their passion. The spark in their eye when they’re learning something they love. That’s why places like Ignite Creative School feel so […]

Some light up when they’re outside, others when they’re building or tinkering or asking a million questions. And sometimes, traditional school settings just don’t give them the space to be who they are. That’s why […]

As a Missoula family photographer—and a mom—I know how special it is to have those once-a-year events that become lifelong memories. For many local families, the Western Montana Fair is exactly that. From the scent of kettle corn and sawdust to the sound of laughter echoing from carnival rides, the fair is a nostalgic mix […]

As a Missoula family photographer—and a mom—I’m always on the lookout for activities that combine outdoor fun, minimal planning, and maximum smiles. Tubing in Missoula down the Clark Fork River checks all those boxes. It’s a quintessential Missoula experience that offers families a chance to cool off, connect, and create lasting memories. Two local businesses […]

As a Missoula family photographer—and a mom—I always have my eye on events that bring the community together in a way that’s fun for everyone. The River City Roots Festival is one of those rare weekends where downtown Missoula transforms into a full-blown celebration. Above all, families live at the heart of it. From dancing […]
