My Approach

I photograph families visiting and living in Whitefish, Glacier National Park, and throughout Northwest Montana. Family sessions are designed to be easy, relaxed, and fun — with just enough guidance so you never feel awkward or over-posed.

Whether you’re visiting Montana on vacation, planning a family reunion, or simply want updated family photos in a beautiful outdoor setting, I’ll help you choose a great location and create images that feel natural and true to your family.

One thing I hear after almost every session is how fun and easy it felt — and how quickly the time flew by. I connect easily with kids and adults alike, creating a relaxed environment where everyone feels comfortable being themselves. When there’s no pressure and people can just enjoy the moment, real connection happens, and that’s when the best images are created.

I’m happy to photograph families throughout Whitefish, Glacier National Park, and the surrounding Flathead Valley.
