Frolicking in a field in the mountains of Montana in the summertime literally watching a bear in the background makes for a magical night. Don’t worry, the bear was a long ways off. Number one reason to get family photos done now - your family will never be at this stage again. It’s cliche, but you blink and they are older. Another reason, you will never regret an evening spent here. Trust me.
Read MoreSummer time in Glacier is still wildly unpredictable. Watching this storm roll in through our session felt a bit like we were on storm-chasers not afraid of the clouds. The lake was calm and serene in stark contrast to the fierce wind at the end of our time together. I recommend Montana, because it is every bit as wild as it is beautiful.
Read MoreA newborn is a great excuse for a gorgeous family session set right outside of Glacier National Park. Jill is a dear friend of mine and an amazing photography colleague. Check out her work here . I was so honored when I got this opportunity to shoot her family. Originally, this was supposed to be a maternity session, but little baby Jack came early and we had so many rescheduling due to sickness when you have 4 littles, it’s cold and flu season, and your client has 4 littles. I’m so glad we were finally able to make this work. . . And you must check out these outfits. Great inspiration! Jill, I hope you will soak in these days. We all know how fast they go and it’s only faster with each little one.
Jill’s dress: Reclamation Design Company
Girl’s dresses: Joyfolie
Jack’s outfit: Kyte Baby
Read MoreShane & Dasha were on vacation exploring the great state of Montana when they decided to get some photos to share their big announcement - they are expecting their first baby! There is something so incredible about your first baby - the first cry, the first smile, the first time they reach for your hand. And, for real, Dasha rocks this look! We had Glacier National Park almost to ourselves (we always have to share a little), but was so peaceful!
Read MoreI was so excited to get to meet this family. They decided to get family photos done while on vacation in the gorgeous mountains of Montana. We met just outside of Eureka, Montana to catch some amazing rays of light before the sunset. I have to tell you if this session doesn’t speak Montana, I don’t know what does!?
Read MoreThe Butler family decided to get family photos done when they were on vacation visiting Glacier National Park in Montana. This is a great time to get photos done and in this gorgeous country. We had a slightly after sunrise session which brought about some amazing lighting. It also helps when your family is this cute!
Read MoreWhen Taylor first contacted me about doing their family session while on vacation exploring Glacier National Park in Montana, I was sold! When I mentioned doing a sunrise session (sunrise and sunset sessions are the best. The light is like no other time of day), they were all in! We woke up early (I got up even earlier than necessary because I’m always worried about being late, so usually am way early). The morning was so peaceful on Lake McDonald which can be a hub for tourists. I think I saw about 5 people the entire morning. I walked the shore line and soaked in the gorgeous morning.
When Taylor and Robby showed up, I knew we were going to have a fun session and little Everett did so well. Give a toddler rocks to throw in the lake and they will be happy forever. Robby and Taylor told me how they embark on a family trip every year and visit a different National Park. I think having fun and adventuring as a family together is so important (I mean have you ever seen sad people out camping and hiking?) Robby has a Youtube channel where he documents some of their adventures together. You can find that here.
