Oooh, am I ever stoked to share Maelyn's University of Montana graduation images with you today! When Maelyn's mom contacted me about making grad photos for her college graduation announcements, I was excited to get to work with her. Especially when she told me she wanted to go off campus to make her photos. (We opted to photograph towards the campus and have it just visible in the valley below.) Heck yes please! Making these images to celebrate such a major accomplishment is always so special to me. I can't help but remember that time in my own life, and how giddy, excited, nervous, and exhausted I was. I was beyond ready to graduate, ...
Jordan :: University of Montana graduation photos
You know how you feel when you've just accomplished something simultaneously so difficult and so rewarding? Pure joy! And Jordan embodied that feeling perfectly during her University of Montana graduation photos the other day. (She literally kicked up her heels from happiness!) We had such a great time making these photos for her to celebrate her December graduation. Jordan's getting her degree in Math (something I greatly respect as someone who is forever challenged by numbers). In between making photos near the beloved Griz statue and Main Hall's clock tower, we popped into buildings around campus to warm up, one of which was the Math ...
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, ...
Emily + John :: College Graduation and Couples’ Photos
College graduation is such a time of excitement, joy and pure anticipation of getting out there in the real world and practicing what you've learned! I always love making graduation portraits - whether that's for seniors in high school or seniors in college. So when Emily contacted me about making college graduation and couples' photos with her boyfriend, John, I knew we'd have a fantastic time making these images to celebrate such a wonderful milestone in her life. It was a bit of a windy, chilly day for our session, but Missoula in springtime is just gorgeous no matter what the weather decides to do. We had such a fun time on the ...
Graduation Celebration! :: {Dylan’s University of Montana Graduation and Family Portraits}
Graduation weekend at the University of Montana means there's a certain happy, excited energy in the air around Missoula that is always such a cool feeling, and makes me think back upon my own experiences graduating from college and graduate school. You're nervous, you're happy, you're relieved, you're stoked for the next chapter of your life, and you're grateful for those who helped support you in your academic pursuits - usually your awesome family and friends. Such was the case for Dylan, and we got together to make some portraits of him to celebrate his graduation from the University of Montana with a degree in Geology. He had ...
