I’m the face (and camera) behind Grace Pauley Photography—your go-to gal for vibrant, true-to-color storytelling rooted in real moments, dusty boots, and ranch-life love.

I’m a Montana-born photographer, ranch wife, mom of two wild and wonderful girls, and a proud advocate for agriculture. Before I ever picked up a camera, I was sorting cattle at the stockyards and working sunup to sundown alongside folks who live and breathe this lifestyle. That experience didn’t just shape who I am—it’s why I care so deeply about preserving it.

Whether I’m photographing a sun-drenched wedding, a generational cattle brand, or your family’s Tuesday-night kind of magic, I’m all about capturing the honest, unscripted stuff that makes your life yours.

My photography is inspired by the places I love most—wide-open pastures, mountain backdrops, and the quiet strength found in hardworking people. I shoot in natural light and aim for a relaxed experience that feels more like hanging out than posing stiff.

Beyond the lens, you’ll find me riding horses, chasing toddlers, editing with coffee in hand, and occasionally hopping into the Pony Photo Express (my photo booth in a horse trailer) at local events. I believe in preserving legacy, in showing the world the beauty of agriculture, and in making sure you walk away with images that feel timeless and true to you.

If you’re into real laughter, windblown hair, and photos that look how your memories felt—you’re in the right place.
Let’s make something meaningful together.  

Hey there, I’m Grace!
