MY  WHY

I’ve come to deeply understand the value of capturing the moments and memories we hold dear. It’s not just about the photos – it’s about preserving the emotions, the laughter, and the bonds we share with those we love.

Every wedding I photograph is a reminder of how fleeting time is, and how important it is to have tangible mementos of the people we hold closest. I approach each celebration with this in mind, striving to create images that aren’t just beautiful, but meaningful snapshots of a love that will live on for generations to come.

Losing my parents has changed the way I see the world, especially how I photograph weddings.

the woman behind the lens

You could say it’s in my blood—four generations back, to my great-great-grandmother, Silver, who made the arduous journey out West to Montana in a covered wagon, Oregon Trail style. She even chronicled her adventures in a book called “The Silver Road.” I have one of the few remaining copies, and it’s my dream to see it reprinted and published again, maybe adding some of my own photographs as a tribute to those who paved the way, lighting the path so I could find my way home.

After exploring a lot of different places, Tim and I found our hearts calling us home to Montana during our own elopement adventure. A couple years later, we packed up and planted roots at the base of the mountains, where we are building our own little farmstead - chickens and mini cows included! The mini cows are still currently living on my vision board but hey, a girl can dream!

I WAS BORN IN THE DESERTS OF ARIZONA BUT MONTANA HAS MY HEART!
