why invest? because


your wedding photos are forever


You only get married to the love of your life once. This once in a lifetime experience is worthy of being documented with intention and care. Your wedding day is one that you will remember for the rest of your life, and your wedding photos are one of the only things that you can take with you.


I will make sure your wedding photos are photos you want to hang on the walls of your home, and that you are proud to pass down to your children for future generations to cherish as much as you do.

STORYTELLING is in the details.


focused on genuine emotion.

As a 4th generation Montanan, it is the greatest joy of my life to get to document this place I hold so close to my heart, as well as provide my clients with beautiful memories to last a lifetime.  


Photography is more to me than just the click of a button. I want my subjects to be fully immersed in the moment and how things feel. True magic is built on real emotion. Your session and photos will feel like you. Your story will be told just the way it is, all the way down to the last detail. It should not feel like some posed production. I want you to fall in love all over again each time you look through your gallery.


Promises:

  • detail focused
  • creative
  • great communication
  • relaxed and adventurous experience

posed when needed


candid when it matters


It's easy to worry about looking stiff or awkward or not knowing how to pose yourself. I come from a fashion and editorial background. I will come prepared with many creative posing ideas for you and your S.O. so you don't have to worry about how to pose yourself!


However, it won't all be posed. I will pose when needed, but I will also step back and allow for connection when it matters most.


I also provide easy guides to help you prepare for everything; from your engagement session to details on your wedding day.

Storytelling is all in the details

I take the time to get to know you to tell your story. If possible, I like to use locations that are significant to the relationship, as well as props/activities that represent you as individuals and as a couple. During the session, I try to feel you both out to get a sense of how you interact with one another to help pose you in a way that feels natural, as well as leave some room for natural and candid interactions to unfold.

"wORKING WITH BELLA WAS AN ABSOLUTE PLEASURE FROM START TO FINISH"


"I would highly recommend Bella for any couple’s pictures, engagement, wedding, and all-around photographer for anything you may need. Working with Bella was an absolute pleasure from start to finish. Her exceptional talent, professionalism, and dedication to her work makes her photography stunning! My fiancé and I took couple photos with her and were blown away by the photos we got back! We could not stop looking through our gallery! Bella was nothing but fun, sweet, and direct. She gave us many poses to do with still continuing to capture us naturally and making it so fun! She captured us perfectly! We will forever cherish all of our pictures! Bella was also extremely organized and was willing to work with whatever our budget allowed! It was so rewarding to work with someone who cares about their work so passionately and also cares about the experience she is giving her clients! We wholeheartedly recommend her services to anyone seeking beautiful photographs and an unforgettable experience."
