About the Artist

I’ve been blessed to call Montana home my entire life. I grew up in the beautiful Shields Valley, where my siblings and I are the fourth generation to be part of the family ranch. While I don’t live or work there now, it’s still my place to recharge—to breathe deep, reset, and take in the breathtaking views of the Bridger and Crazy Mountains. It’s a part of my soul I’ll always carry with me.

After high school, I made my way to the Helena area, where I’ve had the joy of raising my four children and stepson in East Helena. And now, one of the greatest blessings of my life is getting to watch my children become parents themselves—it’s nothing short of magical.

Photography found me at a time when I needed a new path. When my health made it clear I could no longer continue my career in nursing, God gently redirected me. What started as a creative challenge and a way to keep learning quickly became a passion I never saw coming. Life has taught me to slow down, to find beauty even in brokenness, and to hold space for the small, sacred moments that often go unnoticed.

Today, I’m honored to create timeless, meaningful images that tell your story—images full of soul, strength, and connection. Capturing your Orenda moments—the deep, spiritual force within you that shines when you’re truly seen—is one of the greatest gifts of this journey.

I can’t wait to meet you, hear your story, and help you preserve the moments that matter most. Let’s make life beautifully, boldly memorable—together.

xoxo
