I grew up playing sports, and that perspective naturally carries into my work as a sports photographer here in Montana. When I’m shooting, I’m paying attention to timing, body mechanics, and the small moments that say more than the obvious ones. A lot of what I capture happens in a split second, and that’s what makes it feel real.
Working with local teams, especially here in the Flathead Valley, has been one of the most meaningful parts of what I do. Watching athletes grow into themselves, on and off the field, has shaped me just as much as it’s shaped my work.
That same approach carries into everything else I shoot. As a Montana wedding and elopement photographer, I focus on documenting moments as they naturally unfold, not staging them. The same goes for branding and content photography, I’m there to capture what already exists, just in a way that people can actually connect with.
Beyond sports and weddings, I work with families, individuals, and businesses to create images that feel like them.
I’m always open to where a session or story might take us. Whether it’s a local shoot in the Flathead Valley or traveling for a destination wedding or elopement, I’m there for the experience as much as the images.
Some of the best work comes from stepping into a place that means something to you and letting it unfold naturally.
When you work with me, it’s not overly structured or complicated. I’ll guide you when you need it, but for the most part, I want you to be able to relax and just be in it. That’s where the best moments come from.
I genuinely love what I do, and I’ve built my business in a way that lets me keep showing up for it fully.
I’ve always been someone who notices things.
I went to school for business here in Montana, and somewhere along the way I started taking photography classes and realized pretty quickly that I saw things a little differently. What started as learning how a camera works turned into something I couldn’t really step away from. I became a teacher’s assistant, spent a lot of time refining how I approached light and movement, and eventually built my business from the ground up here in the Flathead Valley.
Before going full-time, I worked in marketing, including helping run outward-facing content for a local ski mountain. That experience changed how I approach photography—I’m not just thinking about how something looks, but how it connects and how it’s actually used, whether that’s for a brand, a business, or a growing team.
My Story
How This Really Started
A lot of this came together during a time that felt pretty uncertain. I was a single mom during the pandemic, navigating strict quarantine because of my son’s medical needs, and most of our days were spent outside; just trying to get fresh air and keep some sense of normal.
We were constantly out on trails, in Glacier, wherever we could go. I’d have my newborn strapped to me, my two-year-old at my side, and somewhere in that routine, I started bringing a camera along more intentionally.
It wasn’t anything complicated at first—I just didn’t want to lose those moments. The way my kids moved through the world, the quiet, the chaos, the light in places I’d seen a hundred times before but never really noticed like that.
That’s where it shifted for me. I realized how much could live in a single frame if you were paying attention.
From there, I started taking it seriously. I went back into school for both photography and business, spent time refining my approach, and built this into something sustainable. But at its core, it still comes from that place—wanting to hold onto something real, even if it’s just for a second longer.
