Summer 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 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.

And Emily basically knows how to work the outfits. She picked this out on a whim. I wish I had fashion skills like that. Josiah and Emily are the owners of Diamond B Weddings and Events in Kalispell, Montana. If you are looking for a gorgeous place to get married or host an event, they are located on the Flathead River and just built a huge new barn (that’s heated in the winter ;)
