western photography with a whole lotta heart

Welcome to Grace Pauley Photography, where I help create memories that last a lifetime. Specializing in capturing the essence of the Western lifestyle, cowboy culture, and agricultural life, I bring a warm, vibrant touch to every session.

 Whether you're deeply rooted in the Western way of life or simply love adventurous, outdoor experiences, my goal is to capture your unique story with genuine, true-to-color images. Expect a fun, light-hearted session that’s all about making you feel comfortable and capturing your authentic self.

Photographer, mama, and ag-loving storyteller based in Montana.
I’m here to capture the moments that matter—whether it’s your wedding day, a dusty branding, or your kids just being kids.

Let’s make something real and meaningful.


Hi, I’m Grace!

Every story I photograph is different—but the heart behind it is always the same. Whether you’re walking down the aisle, branding calves, or wrangling toddlers at golden hour, I’m here to capture your legacy in its truest form.

These images will hopefully give you a feel for what I love to shoot—and how your session might feel too.

Behind the lens is just me—cheering you on, fixing flyaway hairs, laughing with your kids, and chasing the light like it’s my job (because it is).

I take pride in making people feel comfortable in front of the camera, even if they “hate photos.” This moment? It’s what it’s all about.
