Paige Senior Session | Missoula Senior Photographer

VioletRay Photography is an all natural lighting photography business out of Florence, MT. Serving all the greater Missoula areas, I get to partake in all the joys of being a photographer in Montana!!! There are many wonderful reasons to be a photographer in this Big Sky state, and I was fortunate enough to have a senior who wanted to showcase Montana at her finest!

First thing off, as a opening to this session, the first thing you have understand is that in Montana, you can any one of the 4 season at any given point in time of an average day. No jokes, it's snowed in July before! So when Paige, a High School Senior student from Sentinel High, chose to go to a remote location up Rock Creek, a wilderness area where he grew up on a ranch, I knew there would be a spark of "epic" to his session. 

The started off slightly blustery, when we met at Starbuck (yay for coffee!) and headed out for our spot, and by the time we got there the sun was showing its golden glory. We managed to find golden fields of wheat and a terrific old fashioned fence. As we moved down the back roads heading towards a swinging bridge the weather definately started to change towards the more "snowey" side giving us some great in-depth dimensional looks! 

Blaine Senior Session | Missoula Senior Photographer

I love senior sessions. Each individual is so unique and fun! This young man on my blog today was such a blast to shoot. Blaine is a HS senior at Sentinel High. He has a love of the outdoors, La Crosse, and life in general! I was absolutely enchanted by his beautiful smile and the way it reached his eyes!

Blaine wanted a country setting for his session. Something natural and open. Full of colour and vibrance, the Bitterroot River was a perfect spot. He even got to bring his sweet dog, Savannah.

"To accomplish great things, we must not only act, but also dream; not only plan, but also believe."
