About me, but make it useful
Speed dating style. because personality absolutely matters.
You're not hiring a camera. You're hiring a real human. So get ready - here is the personality download. Fast, honest, slightly unhinged in the most useful way.
This is the part where the “about me” section earns its keep.
Montana born and raised
My roots run deep here.
Round one
How I move through work and life.
Strong values.
Open mind.
My values are my compass in work and life. I’m always eager to explore new perspectives.
My own beat.
My next adventure.
Eccentric and proudly dancing to my own beat. Spontaneous enough to be ready for adventure at a moment’s notice.
The Jeep is a lifestyle.
It is more than a car. As for being a hiker? I would like to think so, but AllTrails says otherwise.
Ask me about huckleberries.
I can tell you whatever you want to know about them. Ask me. I dare you.
Lakes pinned on Google Maps within a 100-mile radius of my house.
The curiosity doesn’t stop there. My special interests are a rotating gallery of things that capture my attention each week.
Round two
What that means when I photograph you.
Beneath the surface.
Always paying attention.
I’m a deep thinker. ADHD + Autism means pattern recognition, hyperfocus, and a brain that does not stop scanning.
Vision matters.
So does execution.
Being a business owner means bringing both. I’m meticulously organized, and details rarely escape me.
More than “just smile.”
I’m a mental health advocate. Understanding people deserves more depth than “just smile and look happy.”
Grounded. Determined.
Very committed.
Taurus, through and through. I thrive under pressure and do my best work with a bit of heat.
Kid at heart. Nostalgia is a frequent visitor.
My one very real kryptonite? Spiders. Arachnophobia is absolutely part of the personality download.
Behind the camera
Prepared. Present.
Very hard to throw off.
I notice things. That is the whole point.
What Riley + Ashton said
“She is one of the best people you’ll ever meet.”
“If you are looking to elope in the Glacier National Park area - Aundrea is hands down the BEST photographer you could pick! Outside of her amazing photography skills, she knows the surrounding area and park like the back of her hand. She helped plan & create the perfect day for our elopement - from location scouting before our big day, driving us to and from locations, to coming prepared with everything from shoeshine and snacks - on top of capturing every little moment during the day. And aside from being such a talented photographer - she is one of the best people you'll ever meet. We instantly connected beyond photographer and client - she joined us a month later to celebrate our elopement announcement with family & friends. I couldn't recommend her more! Anyone who is looking for a photographer in Western Montana should hire Aundrea.”

I am not here to make you perform. I am here to make this feel like you.
I photograph people through life. Weddings, elopements, families, birth, portraits, boudoir, graduates, brands, and the pieces of your life that deserve more than stiff poses and pretty-but-empty photos. My job is not just taking the picture. My job is reading the room, carrying the moving parts, helping you feel less awkward, and noticing what matters.
Quick facts, because yes, receipts matter.
What I actually do
More than show up with cameras.
Yes, I photograph. Obviously.
But the reason people trust me is because I can handle the parts around the photos too.
I plan.
Timelines, locations, lighting, logistics, routes, backup ideas, and the “wait, how does this actually work?” pieces. I do not expect you to magically know what makes sense.
I guide without controlling.
I will not leave you standing there awkwardly, but I am also not going to pose the life out of you. Direction should make you feel more like yourself, not less.
I adapt fast.
Weather changes. People get overwhelmed. Kids have opinions. Timelines shift. Montana does what Montana wants. I am good at reading what is happening and adjusting without making it everyone’s problem.
I make people comfortable.
Awkward people are my people. Nervous people are my people. “We have never done this before” people are extremely normal here.
The kind of people I work best with
You want real. You still want it handled.
My people do not need fake perfection. They do not need every second micromanaged into something sterile. They want to feel like themselves and still know someone competent is paying attention.
Guidance. Not control.
You want guidance, but not a photographer who turns you into a prop.
The feeling matters.
You care about the feeling of the day, not just the final gallery.
Someone who makes it easier.
You want someone who can think, lead, adjust, and make things easier.
Photos that feel personal.
You want photos that feel personal instead of copied from every other session online.
You want honesty, clarity, comfort, and someone who gives a damn.
What clients keep saying
The photos matter. The experience matters too.
Reviews keep coming back to the same things: comfort, organization, location knowledge, planning, preparedness, ease, laughter, trust, and the feeling that they did not have to carry everything alone.
“She basically organized our entire day, got us from point A to B to C, and it felt like we were just hanging out with a friend.”
“She is a full wedding service with ‘photographer’ as her title.”
“She planned, organized, led and, of course, photographed everything. Without her, we would have made concessions.”
“We genuinely do not think that anyone else could have matched the energy and comfort that Aundrea brought.”
What Mikey + Lisa said
“Aundrea was the friend we needed.”
“My husband and I eloped to Montana in August 2021. We chose MT because I stumbled onto Aundrea's site and instantly fell in love with her documentary/candid style. On our first FaceTime call, she made us feel at ease and assured us she would help every step of the way. Needless to say, Aundrea exceeded every expectation, reassured every worry, and truly helped us plan our intimate elopement. She helped with the little details I got stuck on, had fantastic recommendations (shout out to our private chef Kallai and barber Tucker!), and even picked up the flowers the morning of. By the time we finally met Aundrea, we felt like we had known her forever. It was just my husband and I the day of, and Aundrea was the friend we needed as our day unfolded. She caught every moment without feeling like there was a camera in our faces which was super important for us. Aundrea was an integral piece of our elopement and the whole Montana trip. Lastly, we could not be more obsessed with our photos. They are phenomenal and breathtaking. Most importantly, they are us. Thank you Aunny!”

The Montana part is important
I am not guessing my way around this area.
My children are 6th generation Montanan. I was born and raised here. I know what the weather can do, how the light changes, how far things really are, where timelines go to die, and why “it looks close on the map” is one of the funniest lies Montana tells visitors.
That matters whether you are eloping in Glacier, bringing your family here on vacation, planning wedding portraits, or trying to choose a location that actually works.
Pretty scenery is everywhere here. The difference is knowing how to use it without turning the whole experience into a stressful scavenger hunt.
The part where you stop carrying all of it
You can exhale now.
This is where I step in.
