From Business Goals to Big “I Do’s”
Whether you're popping the question, saying “I do,” keeping up with your energetic crew, celebrating your senior year, or building a brand that turns heads, I’m here to capture it all. Every session is crafted with heart, laughter, and a whole lotta intention—so your photos look and feel like you. Let’s chase golden light, genuine moments, and memories that last way past the scroll.
Epic Views, Even Better Stories
From Inquiry to Gallery—What to Expect
Reach out your way—fill out my contact form, shoot me an email, or give me a call! We’ll chat about your vision, pick a date, and get all the fun details squared away. Once we’re on the same page, we’ll wrap things up with a signed contract and retainer to lock it in. Easy, breezy, and exciting!
Inquire
Step one: We plan it.
This is where your story starts to come to life. I’ll help you choose a stunning location—think epic Montana landscapes, secret scenic gems, or rustic ghost town spots. I’ll guide you through outfit choices and color combos that pop without stress. With years of experience and a deep love for capturing people in wild, beautiful places, I make sure every detail reflects you. No cookie-cutter sessions here—just a custom experience as one-of-a-kind as you are.
Yep, taking photos should be FUN. And, your shoot day will be!
Step two: We have fun!
Within two weeks of your session, we’ll hop on a quick Zoom call (just about an hour) to dive into your gallery and pick the best of the best. You’ll get to see your photos, choose your favorites, and decide how you want to enjoy them—whether it’s stunning digitals, custom wall art, or heirloom albums made to last.
I’ll take care of the edits and polish, and then your memories are delivered, ready to be loved forever.
We'll schedule your Zoom call!
Step three: Post-Production
Let's chat!
Because no two sessions (or love stories, families, or brands) are the same, I custom-quote every experience to fit your vision. Whether you're planning a mountaintop elopement, a wild family adventure, or a bold brand shoot, I’ll create something just right for you.

Every story is different—your photos should be too.
Branding, Portrait, and Wedding Packages
I’m not just here to hand over a gallery of digital files. As a boutique photographer, I help you turn your favorite moments into custom wall art, heirloom albums, and stunning keepsakes you’ll actually want to show off. Let’s create something you can feel—not just scroll through.
A Boutique Experience with Lasting Keepsakes
From inquiry to delivery, I guide you every step of the way. Clear communication, helpful prep, and a relaxed experience that lets you just be.
Stress-Free
from Start to Finish
Inspired by Montana’s wild beauty, I blend my love of the outdoors with artistic storytelling to create images that feel alive and grounded in place.
Nature-Loving, Light-Chasing Artist
Why Book with Me?
I’m a Montana native, born and raised in a small town where trout outnumber people (at least according to the welcome sign!). I’m completely in love with Montana—the stunning landscapes, the unique experiences, and the incredible people I meet each year. My life is fast-paced and full of adventure, but I always cherish time at home with my other half. You’ll often find me laughing and soaking up life’s little moments. I have a wild imagination and a spirit of adventure that the outdoors only fuels, shaping my photography style.
I thrive working with passionate, creative people; there’s nothing quite like seeing their eyes light up when they talk about what they truly love!
I’ve had a passion for art since I was 6, from drawing to photography. I earned my AAS degree in Photographic Communications in 2007 and opened my first studio shortly after. Almost 18 years, I’ve photographed more than 200 weddings, winning awards like Best Montana Wedding Photographer and Best Montana Photographer from Distinctly Montana.
My work has been featured in publications like Mountain Outlaw, National Geographic Travel, Black & White Magazine, COLOR Magazine, Cowboys & Indians, Montana Bride, Rocky Mountain Bride, and Montana Outdoors. I’m passionate about capturing real moments and making your experience fun, quirky, and memorable. Can’t wait to work with you!
I'm Shanna Mae - Photographer & Adventurer.
