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.

Kenzie Senior Session | Missoula Senior Photographer

Monday morning ended up being a beautiful and perfect day for a hike up the Rattlesnake.... and a Senior Session!

Kenzie, a bright and enthusiastic senior from Sentinel High School, had taken the time to do her homework and found the perfect shooting location. She knew what she wanted for unique senior images, and she got them!

Going for "all natual" and bold look, she, her parents and lil bro (and me!!!!), hiked into the Rattlesnake Wilderness to enjoy the beauty of the river and trees.

McCormick Family Session | Missoula Family Photographer

This session is a blessing to my heart. I met this family 2 years ago when they were up in Montana visiting family and friends just before Lucas was deployed with the ARMY.

Now all home and safe and sound, back together, this beautiful family was back in town and I had the best and most wonderful pleasure of getting to do another session for them!

The summer here in Montana has been very warm, but it made it possible to head down to a quiet little campground on the Bitterroot River and we walked out into the middle of it on a little island and had the greatest time just talking and laughing as we did the session, and I chased little Beau around trying to get "just one!" LoL!

Sterling and Miss Quincey: Mission Mountain Winter

A beautiful winter day in Mission, MT and I got to spend it with two of the most beautiful babies ever!

I had the pleasure of getting to go back and spend a few days in heart of the Mission Valley, the place of my roots. My childhood friend and his wife are now raising their children where we use to play around, and spend our days cutting and bailing hay.

What an honour to get to photograph these two special children:
