Another Montana high school senior on the blog today! I know how I say how much I love seniors, but I truly do! I loved spending time with this senior and his parents, getting to know what he wants to do post graduation was amazing to hear! Check out some of his senior pictures! We even added a family shoot at the same time! I loved how the images of him and his mom turned out. I have years to go before I have a senior, and I can't imagine as a mom how proud you feel, but how emotional it is to have your baby grow up before your eyes! Thank you to the Stagg family for the great outdoor shoot! I had fun getting to know all of you!

I've always been drawn to photographing high school seniors, its such a passion of mine to capture their true personalities through my lens. I love hearing what they are dreaming about post graduation, what their goals are, what they are passionate about. I've met so many amazing seniors over these past 8 years of running my business and Kara is truly one of a kind. Her smile & laughs are so sweet & genuine. Check out her breathtaking photoshoot! Kara decided to be a senior rep for me in Townsend, so we got not just one session in, but 2! She is truly so talented, kind & caring. We had fun running around to different locations, capturing some fun, sassy & sophisticated images for her senior year! I am very excited to have her on board to rep for me this year! Since Kara had her guitar out for pictures, I told her she should sing! I absolutely love a cappella singing with a guitar! So I recorded a quick video of her playing this sweet song on location where we were shooting! It was so cool! I love seeing my senior's talent shine through during their sessions with me! Have a listen....and don't mind my filming skills lol not a pro in that area! I absolutely adored this photoshoot, thanks again Kara!
This past June kicked off my 2016 wedding season! It has been such an amazing summer so far with amazing weather, amazing skies & amazing bride & grooms! The venue was amazing and perfect, held at the 1915 Barn in the beautiful south Bozeman area! This barn is so unique, it was converted to a wedding venue/ lodge from its original state of a working dairy barn. If you haven't seen the inside, its spectacular inside and a perfect place for a Montana wedding, retreat or re-union! It was a perfect fit for Kaitlyn & Tanner's wedding day! It fit their western style to a tee! Kaitlyn's dress was amazing in detail and fit her perfect! The details that were brought together to make this wedding perfect, were very well thought out and all who helped did a fabulous job helping Kaitlyn decorate the venue. Bridesmaids are such an integral part of the wedding and these girls supported Kaitlyn & Tanner's dream of a western wedding in full capacity! I loved getting to know each of these sweet girls and how they had come to know Katilyn. From the hair & makeup stylist to these 4 beauties, Kaitlyn's day was amazing from the start. Relaxed & ready....her day was all about going with the flow....she was a beautiful bride inside & out. I've never seen a bride as calm as you Kaitlin....you were in the moment every step of the way. Sibling love....Kaitlyn's sister was one of the bridesmaids and I loved capturing their sweet & silly ways together! These girls had so many fun & creative ideas...I could've photographed them all day, but we had to stick to a schedule! My wonderful friend & fellow photographer, the amazing Michelle Pritchow of Michelle Pritchow Photography in the Tacoma/ Seattle area, flew out to be my second shooter. She was assigned the task of capturing the groomsman, while I focused on Kaitlyn and her girls! We had so much fun working together to capture memories of a lifetime! This tractor made for some great shots with the bridal party on it & overlooking the ceremony site! What a wonderful couple to work with this summer! I loved capturing every minute of your day Kaitlyn & Tanner! Vendor Credits:

Shooting these senior sessions right next to my high school in Helena brought back memories! Oh and my favorite time of year was happening too...the Helena Fair, or best known as the Last Chance Stampede Fair & Rodeo! So, a couple seniors (one I've known since she was a wee one) drove from Belgrade to Helena just to shoot with me! It was such a fun evening with these two! Katie is an amazing softball player for the Belgrade High Panthers! She is the catcher & 3rd baseman for the team and has been since her sophomore year! She also played JV volleyball too! This isn't the first time I've had the chance to work with this beauty! I think the first time I photographed her she was maybe 11!? She always brings the laughter & the fun! Katie brought her friend Faith with her, for a fun senior rep session! We had a blast!
