Get to know me & my story

Hi, it's me Oakley!
I am from a small, one stop light town in Eastern Idaho- but call Montana home as well! I professionally started photography in 2021 after giving birth to my youngest, and feeling like there was more I could bring to the table for my family. Little did I know then, that this so called "picked up hobby" would turn into this deep passion, and love for a business I never knew I was capable of creating. It has given me friendships I had been yearning to find, a true love for creating people's love stories, and SO much more! With that being said, I want to thank you all for being here and for trusting me to be the one on the reigns. Your supporting not only me, but my family- and we cannot thank each and every one of you enough!

When I am not editing, you'll find me being a mom + wife. My family is everything to me, and I would not be where I am today without them. They are continuously cheering me on from the sidelines, and reassuring me that this is the path I should be on. Their patience with me day after day, with the countless hours traveling to and from a shoot, editing into the early mornings, or planning yet another event does not go unnoticed. They truly are my biggest fans, and I couldn't be more blessed that they are on my side!

you are not just another couple to me. I am passionate about getting to know you, and making those undisguised connections. I cherish all the friendships i have made throughout my photo journey thus far, and do not take them for granted. my job is not just about the "photos" but rather the lasting impression i leave on YOU! and the hope to always continue our relationship outside of business.

Oakley is simply the best. So kind, so soft spoken, so talented. I did an in home maternity shoot with her and she made me feel comfortable and beautiful! She did an amazing job capturing the vibe I wanted.I highly would recommend Oakley to anyone wanting photos of any kind!

Oakley is my hype girl!! She made me feel so confident in my own style and with my own ideas! She even carried my giant stack of hats for me. I love her style and she’s always looking for ways to make her photos more unique!

We’ve done a few sessions with Oakley and she’s honestly the best photographer I’ve ever worked with! She’s so creative and always has the best suggestions with posing, & don’t even get me started on her editing skills. She’s very personable and makes every shoot a fun experience, especially for my 2 & 3 year old! She’s got a great eye and always notices the little details of any photo. She captures special moments with my family and now I have those pictures forever, I can’t recommend her enough!!
