It's always so special to be able to make photos for seniors in a place that holds special significance to them. And Allie's Seeley Lake senior photos were a perfect example of this! Her mom grew up in the Bitterroot valley, and Allie's grandparents live in Seeley Lake. She's been visiting them every summer since 6th grade. (Allie currently lives in Georgia, and Georgia just doesn't have what we have here in Montana. Plus, apparently a LOT more snakes. 😅 ) Allie just loves the mountains and the lakes, and the wide expanses that Montana has to offer, so we made sure to showcase that in her senior photos. We initially had to postpone her ...
Eli :: Nature and urban Missoula senior photos
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! ...
Levi :: Autumn senior photos in Missoula
We had the most perfect evening for Levi's autumn senior photos in Missoula, and it was so nice to see him again after the first half of his session earlier this summer! Thankfully this time around it was not close to 100 degrees (phew!), so traipsing about in the cool fall air was a relief. Levi's been busy with school and scouting since I last saw him. He told me he's putting the finishing touches on his Eagle Scout project, and is excited to finish that up. It sounds like it's been a lot of work! We took the path less traveled and found ourselves down by the water, taking in the view. Levi really enjoyed the area by the water, and ...
Landon :: Missoula senior photos in the forest
I was so excited to get to photograph Landon's Missoula senior photos in the forest, not only because I've been photographing Landon and her family for years now (we won't say how long, because omg, I refuse to admit how old I am now, haha!), but because Landon's an absolute blast, AND she told me she'd be wearing some hand-knitted items she'd made. (As a knitter myself, I've got mad respect for any and all knitted things, especially if they get to star in some photos!) We were treated to a completely beautiful summer evening, and met up in one of Landon's favorite places — the forest. Some of the shrubbery had already started turning ...
Ashbeigh :: Potomac Montana senior photos
Getting to photograph people in places that that are meaningful to them always makes me so happy. And I loved getting to capture Ashbeigh's Potomac Montana senior photos right down the road from her house, alongside a creek and at her family's barn. We were treated to the most gorgeous summer evening, and Ashbeigh had picked out a perfect little grove of aspens to shoot in. Ashbeigh was wearing a pretty, white dress, and when pretty dresses and glowing aspens are involved, then twirling is always a must! Ashbeigh and I had a great time cracking up and laughing together amongst all those beautiful trees. Her collie dog, Sadie, even joined ...
Levi :: Downtown Missoula Montana senior photos
I met up with Levi for the first half of his downtown Missoula Montana senior photos on a hot 95º day, and props to him for not melting in the sun and heat! Levi graciously dealt with the temps like a pro, and we had a great time making images all over Missoula. That even included photos on a rooftop with some sweet views (and a fantastic sunset)! As we meandered from location to location (or from shady spot to shady spot), we chatted a bit about his upcoming senior year at Loyola Sacred Heart High School. Levi really likes math and engineering and is very much anticipating his physics class. He's also interested in majoring in aviation ...
Olleke :: Philipsburg Montana senior photos
When Olleke's mom, Kari, wrote to me about doing her Philipsburg Montana senior photos, saying that Olleke is "a creative musician/environmental enthusiast" who is "half punk rock, half mountain girl," I just knew we had to work together. And I'm so glad everything worked out! Timing-wise, it nearly didn't, and weather-wise it also nearly didn't happen, but luck was on our side during our session and we honestly could not have had a more amazing day together! Olleke is from Houston, Texas, but we met up in Philipsburg, which is where her family's primitive cabin is. Her great grandpa built it, and, as Olleke describes it, "this place is ...
Janelle :: Missoula Senior Photos in the Spring
Senior photos are some of my favorite images to make. And Janelle's Missoula senior photos in the spring were no exception. I was so excited to meet her and her mom and accompany them to one Janelle's most favorite places up Deep Creek. (Janelle's mom hadn't even been there before, and neither had I!) It's a rocky beach area right along the river, with beautiful view of the mountains. Janelle told me that she loves to go there to hang out with her friends as they run their dogs. And she especially loves it because it's got amazing sunsets. Driving to this location was a long, bumpy journey, and I've got to admit, I was a little worried ...
Carson :: Missoula Urban Summer Senior Session
It's no secret that I love, love, LOVE photographing senior sessions. And Carson's Missoula urban summer senior session definitely fit the bill! He, his mom, Kelli, and I all had a great time meandering around Missoula, finding the best little nooks and crannies, and enjoying quite a lot of laughter together as we made Carson's photos. (Big shout out to Kelli for being a most excellent photo assistant and toting around Carson's clothing changes!) Carson is a senior at Sentinel High School this year and he's been involved in track, football and soccer. Though as of right now he's taking a break from sports to focus more on ...
Kaitlin :: University of Montana Graduation Celebration Images
If there's one thing I'm a sucker for it's someone who will have just as much fun laughing as I do. Enter Kaitlin! She contacted me a while ago about photographing her for her University of Montana graduation celebration images to document this time in her life after having successfully completed her studies. And as soon as I met her (and her lovely mom) I knew we'd have a total blast making images together. Not only does she clearly exemplify the French phrase joie de vivre, she was gung ho to do anything I suggested and make the absolute most of the beautiful day we had been treated to on campus. As we wandered around the University, ...
