Engaged.
Married. Growing a family.
Your milestones, your story—captured for a lifetime.

Lindsey and Hunter hired me for their wedding a few years ago.
That’s when the friendship began.
They’re now photographers that I love to refer folks to.
They’re also now parents to two amazing kids.

And yes, they recreated their outfits from their engagement session at the same location, for their family session this morning.

I love being able to create friendships and capture families as the form and grow.

Bridger | iTech Class of 2026

Bridger’s senior session at Moulton Falls yesterday afternoon? Pure winter magic in the Pacific Northwest.

Crisp air. Golden light threading through the trees. The river moving steady in the background like it understood we were documenting a future finance mind in the making.

Bridger is a senior at iTech with plans to head into finance, and he brought that cool, collected, analytical energy to the forest. Confident. Grounded. Ready. There’s something powerful about photographing someone right on the edge of launch season, standing tall against mossy cliffs and cold, rushing water.

And here’s your reminder: senior sessions are year round. Winter light? Unreal. Spring greens? Lush. Summer glow? Iconic. Fall color? Straight up cinematic. With the kind of backdrops we have around here, there is no “off season.” Just different flavors of epic.

If you’re a senior who wants more than parking lot portraits and stiff poses, let’s go chase some scenery and make it yours.

Just a heads up if you are trying to call me (or any other business), we’ve been inundated with spam calls. This is one of three scrolling screens of spam for the day.

We’re not ignoring you, it’s just that spam calling has been getting out of control. They’re also spoofing numbers we may know. I once got a spam call from my daughters school district number, it’s weird.

Feel free to leave a message, text, or email if you go through my filtering. The newest phone update is doing some of the work for us, but please understand we don’t want to pick up 50 spam calls a day.

As a business owner and as a human being, I want to be clear and consistent: I stand against state violence and the killing of people by government agencies — always have, always will.

Today in Minneapolis, another person lost their life during a federal immigration enforcement operation. Details are still emerging, but what is already clear is this: lethal force by the government demands transparency, accountability, and independent investigation — every single time. No agency should operate above scrutiny, and no community should be left grieving without answers.

This is not about politics as a game. It is about human lives, civil rights, and the dangerous normalization of force used by the state against civilians. History shows us that when people are told to stay quiet in the face of injustice, harm only spreads.

Standing up, speaking out, and demanding accountability is not radical — it is civic responsibility. Silence is how tyranny grows. I will continue to use my platform, personally and professionally, to oppose these acts and to stand with communities calling for justice, restraint, and the protection of human dignity.

Generational studio shoot? Check.

Even if it means borrowing my neighbor’s studio for a hot minute, having options matters when you’re bringing multiple generations together. Clean light, cozy space, zero stress. That’s the goal.

Want to step outside after for a few frames with your pup? Absolutely. Being in a historic building means pets can’t come inside, but it doesn’t stop us from popping outdoors for those tail-wagging portraits. And being just a block from Esther Short Park makes that part easy, green, and honestly kind of magical.

Studio structure + outdoor flexibility = portraits that feel like real life, just a little more polished.

Your wedding doesn’t need a Saturday guest list, a sunny forecast, or anyone else’s approval.
It just needs you two.

Get married on a Wednesday. In the middle of winter. When the trees are bare, the air is sharp, and the world feels quieter. Let it be intentional. Let it be intimate. Let it be a day that feels like you chose each other on purpose, not just a date on a calendar.

Break the rules. Skip the expectations. Build a celebration that fits you like your favorite jacket.
Because the most powerful weddings aren’t about tradition. They’re about love, commitment, and doing it your own damn way.

History AND nerd moment activated.

The new season of Fallout kicked off with a backdrop that made me do a full point-at-the-screen move: the old Arne’s Royal Hawaiian Motel. They put the dinosaur there for the show, but much peak desert Americana. Sunbaked, weird, wonderful.

Not long after filming, the motel was demolished. One more roadside relic erased from the map. When I passed through Baker in late winter of 2024, I made a stop to explore what was left. Crumbling concrete, open sky, and that unmistakable feeling that you’re standing in a place that’s already half memory.

That’s the magic I keep chasing with a camera. Exploring spaces with history. Photographing places before they’re repainted, remodeled, or removed entirely. Freezing a moment in time before it disappears, whether it’s a desert motel, a historic venue, or a fleeting slice of someone’s story.

Because sometimes the most powerful photos aren’t about what’s shiny and new. They’re about what almost slipped away.

I was asked by Debbie (https://www.instagram.com/debbiemarvin_caringart?igsh=dWN5cG5qcjR3bjdp ) to put this on my Facebook wall instead of a story—so here it is.

Let me be crystal clear about where I stand.

I stand for all humans.
I stand for human dignity, due process, and basic rights—regardless of where someone was born.
And I stand firmly against the rampant overstepping of the law by ICE agents, which has included intimidation, unlawful detentions, family separation, and actions that go far beyond what accountability or justice looks like. That behavior is horrifying and absolutely uncalled for.

Yes, laws exist.
And yes, no one is above the law—including law enforcement agencies.

When an agency operates with cruelty, dehumanization, and violence baked into its enforcement practices, calling that out is not “being above the law.” It’s demanding that the law be applied ethically and humanely.

Debbie is welcome to her opinion.
But let’s not pretend this is a neutral debate about “rules.” Supporting systems that oppress, harm, and kill people in the name of enforcement is a choice. Silence or defense of that harm is also a choice.

As for me and Missy Fant Photography:
I will always stand on the side of humanity over cruelty, compassion over punishment, and accountability over unchecked power.

She blocked me shortly after that message, so it seems she didn’t want to have a conversation or back her own stance.

It’s that time of year where I can come up for air

It’s that time of year where I can come up for air, while also finishing up editing my last wedding of the year. This is the season where I love revisiting some of my adventures from the year, sharing them here, and quietly hoping a few of you feel inspired to go wander a little too.

Each August, my family takes about a week or so off and we almost always point the car toward a road trip. This year turned into a full two-week ramble through eastern Washington and Oregon. The kind of places that live off the main highways, get skipped by many, and absolutely deserve more love. I have so many spots to share, especially if geological history makes your brain light up, but I’m starting with one we hit on the way back.

Why not kick things off at the beginning? Because this place feels like the start of an adventure all on its own.

We stopped at Hot Lake Springs, just outside of La Grande. We did it as a day trip, staying in a super chill Airbnb up in the hills where we could watch the sun melt into the valley at night. The small fee to soak in the tubs was absolutely worth it. Warm water, wide-open views, nervous systems fully exhaling.

Inside the historic building? Slight creep factor. In the best way. Definitely haunted energy. There’s preserved history throughout that gives you this quiet, echoing sense of everything the place has been through. One of the original buildings burned down years ago and is still up on the hill, though blocked off now. We couldn’t get close, but even from afar it felt like a chapter you could almost hear.

Also, I absolutely need to plan a friends weekend here with the sole goal of doing nothing. No agenda. No rushing. Especially since there’s basically no service. Just soaking, snacks, long conversations, and letting time lose track of us for a bit.

If you’re looking for a place to slow down, unplug, and let your thoughts wander before heading deeper into your own adventure, this one’s a solid north star. More hidden gems coming soon.

This Mount Rainier engagement session wasn’t about checking off locations. It was about following the road, skipping the crowds, discovering hidden waterfalls, and letting the Pacific Northwest set the pace for something real and unforgettable....

Missy has taken our family photos over the years and we are never disappointed. She is smart, kind, ambitious and an outstanding photographer!

Missy made my daughter’s senior photo shoot a truly joyful experience. She’s not only an exceptionally talented photographer but also has a gift for drawing out genuine smiles, even from the most nervous subjects. My daughter is incredibly camera shy and was worried she’d look “awkward,” but from the moment we met Missy, she was at ease. I’m so glad we chose the package with all the digital images—Missy captured so many stunning shots, I couldn’t have chosen just a few. I can’t thank her enough for making the process fun and beautifully capturing such a pivotal moment in my daughter’s life.

Missy Fant took beautiful photos of my child. She was wonderful to work with, friendly, and fun. She suggested delightfully photogenic spots around Vancouver, WA. I highly recommend her.

Missy is truly amazing! Due to unforeseen circumstances we had to find a photographer for our May 2025 wedding with only about a month to spare and we were so lucky to come across Missy. She immediately put us at ease with her humor and down to earth personality.
Day of the wedding she arrived early, took amazing photos, stayed a little late to get some final shots of us with our family and almost immediately sent us a sneak peek of some of the pictures.
If you are in need of someone who obviously loves their work and puts their all into each and every picture, Missy is your best friend!
