My goal is to create images that bring you right back to those moments — so every time you look at them, you remember not only how everything looked, but exactly how it felt.
What to Expect with a Family Session
The best seasons for family photos are spring through early fall. Winter family sessions in Montana can be quite cold and aren't always much fun for families with little ones!
For younger children, in-town sessions tend to work best and typically last around 20–30 minutes. However, I also offer one-hour sessions for families who would like a little more time, more variety, or a location that's a bit farther away.
Coordinating outfits can be a challenge, but don't worry—I can help with that! Reach out, and I'll send you a helpful style guide.
I understand the importance of capturing authentic moments. I truly care about capturing the love between family members, making each photograph a heartfelt reflection of your unique bond.
More text would go here. But, in a larger sense, we can not dedicate — we can not consecrate — we can not hallow — this ground. The brave men, living and dead, who struggled here, have consecrated it, far above our poor power to add or detract.
“Chris and Joanna are the best photographers ever. They went above and beyond to make our day absolutely magical.”
From Allie & Noah:
"Our family has trusted Alexa Martonen to capture our family for years, and every single time we are blown away. Not only are the photos absolutely beautiful, but the entire experience is comfortable and easy. It means a lot when you’re wrangling little ones. She truly goes above and beyond to make everyone feel relaxed and natural. Our kids absolutely love her! She’s so warm, welcoming, and adventurous, which makes the whole experience fun instead of stressful. We are so grateful to have our memories documented so beautifully and couldn’t recommend her more highly!"

"Alexa captured family photos for us that we were able to use for our Christmas card! She had a treasure box for our daughter to pick a treasure and the smiles in the pictures say it all. Highly recommend Alexa. Grateful for the beautiful photos and quick turn around and lovely person to work with!"
