Why we ranked them

Why we chose Monroe & Lucille Photography

Monroe & Lucille Photography is a Missoula-based portrait studio run by Laci, a mother of two whose interest in photography started back in high school and has stayed with her ever since. The business takes its name from her daughters, Vivienne Monroe and Eliza Lucille, a personal touch that runs through the way she works with every family who sits in front of her lens. Laci's approach leans away from stiff posing and toward genuine expression: she would rather prompt a real laugh or an unguarded moment than direct a formal smile, which gives her images an unscripted, lived-in feel. Alongside family and lifestyle portraiture, senior sessions, and branding work, her 'Motherhood' collection covers maternity bellies and the earliest days of a baby's life, set against the mountain backdrops she loves showing off around western Montana. Clients booking a newborn session with Monroe & Lucille can expect a relaxed pace rather than a rigid shot list, with Laci adjusting to how the baby and the rest of the family are doing that day. Working out of Missoula, she serves families across the surrounding valley who want portraits that feel like their actual life rather than a stock photo, imperfect, warm, and specific to the people in the frame.
