Eli definitely timed his nature and urban Missoula senior photos perfectly, because we hit that autumn sweet spot, right before the temps dropped! And we had such a great time making his photos to celebrate his senior year at Willard. Even his girlfriend, Ivy, and mom, Sam, joined in for a few photos, too!
As we meandered around Missoula to make his images, Eli shared with me that he absolutely loves traveling. After he graduates from high school, he’d love to travel the world and has many places he’d be keen to visit, including the Faroe Islands, Sweden, and Croatia. As he put it, “pretty much anywhere” because he’s got the travel bug! (Courtesy of his mom, he said.) He said he even has some goals to take time to bike pack around some of these places. Which…how cool would that be?! I hope you get to do that, Eli!
Eli was so fun to photograph and such a great sport. He has the brightest smile, and, of course, Ivy and his mom helped bring that out, too!
When he’s not busy with school he shared with me that he loves to go backpacking and hiking with friends. He especially enjoys going up Pattee Canyon. He’s lived in Missoula all his life, so he’s ready to move on from it. Eli said that he’s thinking about heading to Salt Lake with his buddies. And it doesn’t hurt that Moab is right nearby, too — a fact which he really likes.
Eli (and Ivy and Sam, too!) — thank you for being an absolute treat to photograph! I so enjoyed meeting you all and getting to make these images for you. And Eli! Congrats on your upcoming graduation, and here’s hoping that travel bug succeeds in taking a (gentle) chomp out of you so you can explore all those cool places! Cheers to you, your fantastically positive attitude, and I hope you have a very happy remainder of your senior year!
