We had a Homegrown Session with Morgan and it was one of the most stress-free sessions I have done. Morgan was so relaxed and was so patient through the whole session. My kids absolutely loved her as well! Morgan has such an eye for the little shots that make a BIG impact; the hands, toes, little moments/ interactions, etc. She was the perfect mix of "fly on the wall" and posed photos. The gallery we received back was nothing short of INCREDIBLE. In the words of my 94 year old grandma, "Well that was pretty fun. That lady was sure nice. I liked her." and in the words of my 7 year old BUSY boy, "It felt like Morgan didn't even take that many pictures of us." I would highly recommend her for photos, especially a "generations" shoot to capture memories of loved ones that you will be able to cherish forever!

Simple Studio

These photographs are for the day your children look back and see how deeply they were loved. They may not remember this season clearly—but these images will show them how it felt to be held, known, and cherished by you. 

This session can take place at home, a special place to your family, or someplace a little out of the box (ask me about it and I'll throw out some ideas!) It can be used for families, newborns, maternity, or couples—whatever season of life you’re in and wanting to remember.

Your session includes:

+ Up to one hour 

+ A full gallery of edited images (65+), delivered in both high-resolution and web-sized files for printing and sharing

+ A private online gallery to view, download, and order professional prints and products

+ A complete session planning guide, along with gentle guidance during your session—as much or as little direction as you’d like.


For those who want to document the whole picture. The slow moments, the morning routine, the quiet in-between, and everything that makes this season what it is. These sessions allow space for your life to unfold naturally and are perfect for families wanting a deeper, more complete story—including newborn sessions.

Homegrown sessions are available on both weekdays and weekends and don’t have to take place entirely at home. We can collaborate on something meaningful and unique to your family, wherever that may be.

Your session includes:

+ Up to 2.5 hours of relaxed, unhurried coverage

+ A full gallery of 100+ images delivered in high-resolution

+ Mixed media storytelling: digital imagery, one roll of 35mm film, and Polaroids

From Start To Finish

get to know my style

Take some time to explore my work and see if it feels like we would be a good match. My approach is candid, documentary, and rooted in real connection—focused on honest moments rather than posing or perfection. No worries, we will get some posed ones in there, too!

When you’re ready, send a message on the contact page. Tell me a little about your family, the season you’re in, and what you’re hoping to document. I’ll be in touch soon to walk through next steps!

lock it in

Once we decide on the session that fits best, your date is reserved with a signed contract and booking fee. From there, everything is officially on the calendar and ready to start planning! 

let's get planning!

You’ll receive a full planning guide to help you prepare, along with my support every step of the way. We’ll talk through location, timing, styling, and anything else you’re wondering about!

Session day whoop!

Show up as you are, my friend! Embrace it all, whether it be belly laughs or meltdowns! I’ll gently guide when needed, but mostly I’ll give your family space to be together naturally. There’s no pressure to perform—just real moments, unfolding as they do.

I’m Morgan, a family photographer based in Bottineau, North Dakota, serving Minot and families across North Dakota. I document real life with a candid, documentary approach—focused on connection, nostalgia, and the moments that matter most.

HEY, I'M MORGAN

Morgan is amazing! She is completely organized, easy to coordinate with, and made our photo session stress free and fun. She did a great job with our 6 month old baby and got lots of smiles!

Frequently Asked Questions

Why lifestyle photography?

Because the everyday moments are the ones that matter most. The quiet mornings, the routines you don’t think twice about, the way your family simply is together. Whether that looks like pancakes on a Sunday morning, playing in the backyard, reading favorite books on the couch, checking the cow pastures, drawing on the sidewalks with chalk, or a walk outside you take often, these are the moments worth remembering. My goal is to document your family as they are in this season. Don't worry, I'll be sure to get photos of you all looking and smiling for your holiday cards, but for the most part I'll direct gently and let you all be to capture moments as they unfold naturally! 

back

Where should we do our photos?

At home:My personal favorite. Photographing your family at home keeps things comfortable and natural, allowing space for real moments to unfold. Don't worry about your house being picture perfect-- this is where your whole life is! 

On location: If you love being outdoors, we can meet at one of my favorite locations or choose a place that’s meaningful to your family. I’m always drawn to beautiful light, natural textures, and spaces that allow you to move, explore, and simply be together.

My Studio: a small, perfect space that still allows natural moments to unfold! 

Something out of the box: Want to do something a little different? I have a whole "brain dump" list of ideas in my phone I can send your way! You can decide if one of those options sounds fun for you guys! 

back

Do you travel? 

Absolutely. Sessions within 30 miles of Bottineau, ND are included, and travel beyond that distance is subject to a mileage fee. If you’re dreaming of a location a little farther away, just let me know—I’m always happy to chat about options.

back

I want you to come to my house, but it's not cute-Help!


Your home doesn’t need to look a certain way for your photos to be beautiful. The most meaningful images come from real spaces—where life happens every day. I’ll guide you to the best light and spaces, and together we’ll focus on what truly matters: your family, just as they are. Give me at least one room with a good window in it and we can make magic happen haha! 

back

What should we wear for our photos?

Begin with what you already have. The clothes you reach for most often usually feel the most like you—and those are the ones that translate best in photographs. If there’s a meaningful piece you’d love to include, like a favorite sweater or a hand-me-down with history, we can build the rest of your outfits around it. The goal is comfort, connection, and clothing that feels true to your family.

back

Do you help with posing and direction?

Yes—absolutely! You’ll never be left wondering what to do with your hands haha! I’ll guide you the whole way with easy prompts and gentle direction, but nothing stiff or overly posed. For the most part, I act like a fly on the wall but will defintely give direction when needed! 

back

What if the weather doesn't cooperate?

Around here, the weather doesn’t always play by the rules HA! We’ll keep an eye on the forecast and make a plan together if adjustments are needed. Sometimes that means shifting plans, sometimes it means heading indoors. Either way, we’ll choose what feels best. 

back

When will I get my photos back?

I know you're pumped to get your gallery back! I strive to get your photos back to you anywhere between 2-4 weeks (depending on the season!) 

back

What if our kids aren't feeling it or someone is sick? 

As a mom, I truly get it!  Kids have off days, and sometimes life just happens. There’s no pressure for everyone to be “on” during a session—real moments are always welcome here. And if someone isn’t feeling well, we’ll reschedule. Your family’s comfort and well-being always come first!

back

I hate photos of myself--do I have to be in them?

You're not alone-I've felt this way before, too!  There’s never any pressure, but I gently encourage you to step into the frame with your people.  It's my job to find the best lighting and angles, but more importantly--decades from now, your kids won’t notice how you looked—they’ll see that you were there, loving them, laughing with them, and fully present. My approach is natural and unposed, focused on connection rather than perfection. You deserve to be remembered in this season too!! 

back

Do you sell prints and albums?

Absolutely! I partner with print labs I know and trust, so every product meets my standards. You can order prints, albums, and more directly from your online gallery!

back

Morgan, you're my girl. What's the next step?

Ahhh I'm so excited to chat with you and plan your session! You can reach out to me directly on my contact page. Just fill out the form and I'll email you back within 48 hours!
