We have been thrilled this year with the amount of senior guys we have gotten to have sessions with! Don’t get me wrong, I absolutely love all of our beautiful girls with their great skin, gorgeous hair and super cute outfits! I’m a little biased when I say they are my favorites! Still, it’s nice to […]

Holy cow! What a busy season this has been! We thought we were alone for a while, but it seems like everyone we talk to, in Montana and in other states, is suffering from the same time crunch! Amidst all the craziness of life, however, it’s nice to find time for the things you enjoy, […]

Do you remember the first time you left home? If you were close with your parents, it could have been one of the most bittersweet times of your young life. The lingering hugs. Your mothers arms wrapped so tight around you. Hands that just won’t quiet let go. Trying to keep the tears at bay […]

I’m not a Montana native. I love it here, though. It has been my home for years and will always be. What I love about Montanans is their heart and their drive. Throw a summer fire at them, and they band together and help one another out, all across the state. Now, throw a winter […]

There are always milestones that mark events in your life, right? When you move to a new place, for example, and then something happens that makes you realize how long you’ve been there. This senior session was definitely a milestone for us. Denton and I moved to Wolf Point in the end of January 2012. […]

Some things stay in style for ages. Some things stay in style long after they should be old news. Then there are things that should be in style that just aren’t anymore. Like ladies hats, or good old fashioned gallantry. Or, ambition. I love so many of our seniors that we get to work with, […]

I love going home after a session and looking through our photographs that we’ve just captured. It’s kind of like getting to do the shoot all over again, but in my own house. Ha. As I’m culling pictures, sometimes, Denton will watch me and say “You’re smiling. They must be good.” He’s right, in a […]

Gillian Medicine Cloud and her Fancy Shawl Regalia! What a fantastic session this was! Gillian was the winner of our Senior Stampede giveaway last month. While the giveaway was met with resounding success far above what we had even hoped for, we had relatively few seniors reach out for a session. When Gillian got out […]

Well, for seniors, anyway 🙂 I can’t believe that we are already so near to closing 2017 that we are shooting for the ’18 school year! Dylan Reid of Poplar, Montana, is the first of a couple things this year. He is the first ’18 senior that I’ve gotten to shoot for, he’s the first senior I’ve […]
