What Families Are Saying
“I can’t explain it but we just clicked! My husband, who is never comfortable in front of the camera, said Kelsey was the most charismatic photographer we have ever had and she made him feel very comfortable and that he looked good no matter what she was telling us to do. This is the first time we have ever taken family pics where I love pretty much EVERY photo taken of us.”
— Nikki & Family
“Kelsey made the whole experience such a fun and wonderful day full of memories that we all keep saying that our day with Kelsey was one of our favorite days of the trip.”
— The Bush Family
Kelsey is the best! A great talent and a true joy to work with. Even in the most challenging of situations (unpredictable, crying children), Kelsey always manages to pull a rabbit out of the hat and capture magical moments. Her photography has a warmth and timelessness to it and it’s always wonderful to see her vision through her “lens.”
— Reilley Family
“Kelsey, I just don’t even know how you worked this magic. I literally cried.”
— The Szust Family
“Kelsey was by far the best family photographer we've ever worked with. She's got an amazing eye for the best shots and makes the process fun and casual.
She was able to capture a photo that I've been wanting forever and it's absolutely perfect.
If you're looking for a photographer she should be high on your list. I hope we get the pleasure of working with her again in the future!”
— Sperring Family

ABOUT ME AND MY APPROACH
I aim to tell a genuine story and capture authentic moments of your family, gathered together in these rugged, Montana mountains that I call home.
Often, I will come to the home where you are staying or, if that is not ideal, I will choose one of my most favorite locations in or around Big Sky or Bozeman that cultivates a sense of play, a feeling of freedom, ease & peace.
I can’t wait to capture these timeless family portraits & most beautiful vacation memories in the mountains of Montana.
xoxo.
FAQs
-
Choosing a location is everything.
I want your family to either feel at home, or free to roam. I want to cultivate a sense of play and feeling of freedom, ease & peace during your session. You’re on mountain time now.
Often I will come to the home you are staying or conduct your session on your own private property. If that is not ideal or visually appealing, I will have you check out my location guide for a collection of my favorite & most magical places to shoot in the area. (Once your session is booked you will receive the password to access this document).
-
Often when it rains in Montana, it’s a short shower and then the weather moves on. Therefore, I don’t get worked up over a little bit of rain in the forecast.
If it looks like a complete wash out on your portrait day, you will need to be flexible to move your portrait session an hour or two and also keep the next early morning open as a backup date. I will make every effort to reschedule your session but payments made will not be refunded due to weather.
Some of my very best sessions have happened after or during a Montana rainstorm. Montanas motto weather is “no bad weather, just poor gear”. Umbrellas and rain boots make great props and the kids love splashing in puddles! The lush Montana landscape comes alive with color during a good storm. I’m very much open to go forward with a session in the rain!

Your photos will be sent to you in an online photo gallery 2-4 weeks apres your sessioin.

I leave this entirely up to you! But for a little outfit inspiration, ask for a link to my welcome guide to see the best local Montana places to shop or see what other families have put together.

You can just be yourselves! The magic is made by the chemistry between you and your family. My job is to be fast and capture these real and genuine moments. Your job is to just be in the moment, to laugh, to run, to play, to feel and to enjoy. To just be present with your family in these majestic, Montana mountains.
But any inspiration shots you have to share with me in the months leading up to your shoot will help me to understand the vibe you are going for and to create a strong vision for your shoot.
