I always love Missoula in the autumn, and Katie and I were really able to make the most of this beautiful time in town during her autumn senior pictures in Missoula Montana. Not only that, we definitely had a blast making her images!

Katie’s a senior at Hellgate, and as I came to learn while we meandered about during her session, she’s got a super witty sense of humor, a great eye for locations, and isn’t afraid to just go for it in her photos – all of which I love!

We had a fantastic time finding the most colorful spots for her photos, randomly came across an old, bright blue bus (I love me some old, blue buses, yo!), and at one point, Katie got her climb on when she spied a spot she liked. Despite the fact that it looked like it could be challenging to get to, she scaled that concrete wall and braved some burrs all in the name of some seriously cool photos. (I give her big kudos for that – the wall wasn’t easy to get to and those burrs were tenacious little beasts!)

Continuing our trend of finding cool stuff, we followed the beautiful light the evening was treating us to and came across some lovely, gnarly driftwood (can things be both lovely and gnarly? I think yes), pockets of greenery that highlighted Katie’s colorful outfits, dark spots that really made those bright yellow leaves just pop, and twinkle lights that went especially well with the autumn tones of the evening.

But we didn’t stop there! We had a great time making images in an old phone booth, catching the last rays of sun over the river, and generally just had a fabulous time all around exploring and making images – and, of course, joking the entire way.

Katie! Thank you again for such a fun session! You really did such a wonderful job, and I love how gung-ho you were to explore and find some really cool spots to make your photos. Here’s to you and your senior year, and the future ahead of you! I can tell it’s going to be a bright one. :)

Dustin, a 2014 senior at Hellgate High School in Missoula, first contacted me to do his senior pictures after hearing from his sister Ashley that he should check out my work. (Thanks Ashley!) Funny enough, Ashley was one of my students in my photojournalism class I taught at the University of Montana’s Journalism School this past spring semester. So it was a treat to meet Dustin and get to work with him as well.

We had a great time wandering around downtown and Dustin told me he loves hanging out with friends, soaking up warm weather (he grew up in California), and has plans to attend the University of Montana to pursue a degree in education that focuses on working with students with disabilities.

Dustin, here’s to a great senior year for you! You’ve got a fantastic attitude towards life and your goals, so I can tell you’ll do great things after high school. :)
