Peyton is such a sweetheart! She caught my attention during her mini JGP Street Team shoot because of her kind spirit and natural beauty. Just as I expected, she was amazing during her full session! She brought the cutest clothes and was game for anything and everything I threw at her. She has the most radiant smile and also brought out a little flirty side in some of the photos that I loved! Peyton is a very talented golfer and also a member of Key Club and Ski Club at West High. Believe it or not, she usually rocks very curly hair and comfy clothes. She has an adorable cockier spaniel and loves peanut butter and cookie dough. The future is so bright for Miss Peyton and I can’t wait to see where she goes.

These little guys have my heart! They were so tiny the last time I saw them, and now they such little chunks. I love it! They are so loved and adored by their whole fam, it’s great to see their little personalities start to take shape and watch them interact together even when they are so young.

It doesn’t get much better than Rhiannon. This sweetheart brightened my day with her kind personality. She also lit up my camera with her flawless, glowing complexion, and piercing blue eyes. The perfect combination! Rhiannon goes to West High where she is in choir, and after she graduates she is thinking about going to college in Missoula and studying Sports Medicine. Some fun facts about this cutie are that she has one little sister, is a major dog lover and her favorite snack is watermelon. Her dream vacation is Bali (take me with you!). Rhiannon has kept busy this summer with work at the gymnastics school and Black Orchid Yoga. I am so glad that she is a part of the Class of 2018 JGP Street Team! Be Spontaneous.

Valerie was the perfect way to start my morning. She is the kindest young lady with beauty both inside and out. I had so much fun getting to know her. I quickly learned that Valerie is a stud athlete. She pays basketball, golf, and softball for her high school, her fav is softball. She is super artistic and likes to draw and do other crafts in her free time. Her go-to snack is celery and peanut butter. Valerie is excited and a little nervous for her senior year and all that it brings, and she is considering going in a medical direction in college. I feel very honored that her, her Mom, and her little sister, Emily, made the trip from Lewistown to Billings to shoot with me. BE you.

Check out this cutie! Olivia is as beautiful on the inside as she is on the outside. When her and her adorable pup came into the studio, I knew I was in for a fun evening! I was lucky enough to shoot her sweet older sister a few years back, so I had high expectations for Olivia, and she definitely lived up to them! She has killer taste in music, cute style, and a warm personality that was so easy and fun to be around. She did so well on the shoot, looking so comfortable and confident behind the camera. This tennis player and cheerleader describes herself as adventurous and dreams of being a firefighter in the future! I’m so fortunate to have her on my Class of 2018 Street Team. BE Brave.

The word is out – this guy will throw his hat in the ring to seek the Democratic nomination against Rep. Gianforte in 2018. I usually stay quiet about politics because you can go so many ways – pros and cons to all sides I feel, can’t we all just get along? But-I have known this family forever, (well almost as long as we have lived in Montana) our oldest kiddos went to preschool together. I have watched their family grow over the years and thought they were pretty great. They are a tight knit bunch, they really do enjoy each other, they have great, nice kids, and are awesome, present parents. They are involved in the community and always willing to help. I didn’t realize how much was involved with this type of campaign and the commitment it took, until we were shooting these pics for the campaign specifically and we started talking about what the next year might entail. I’m in awe of the selflessness that goes into being a government official, especially when you are doing it for the right reasons. My take on John is that he simply wants to make things better for our community and state, I realize there are many ways to do that and we didn’t have the time to sit down and have a major philosophical discussion, but I am thankful that he recognizes that he can make a difference for good and is taking the time to do it. Did I mention he has an awesome supportive family?!? He is a great guy!

To know this lovely lady is to love her. Her and her fabulous hubby own Better To Gather an amazing event design and decor business in Billings. I have been lucky enough to work with her on numerous projects and am always blown away by her creativity and passion for her clients. She is a kind soul. I was over the moon for them when I found out they would be welcoming a baby boy into their family, they are already fab dog parents but this human babe is going to be one lucky little fellow. These two are magic together. They are tender and sweet, respectful of one another and if you spend time with them and get to see them interact as a couple their true love is evident. They will be amazing parents and I am so excited to watch this little guy grow up in their amazing home filled with love. Congrats you two!! xoxo

Tyson is adventurous, funny, and an all around great guy. I did his sister’s senior pictures a few years ago, loved her so I was so excited to meet him. He loves Montana, country music, and spending as much time as possible outdoors, whether it be hunting, fishing, or hiking. He is also a member of an archery club! I had a blast getting to know him. We dove right into tall grasses, trees, and rivers in order to fully capture his outdoorsy personality and he was such a trooper and all in. He is a Patriots fan, a dog lover, and dreams of vacationing in Alaska. I have such great seniors…thanks Tyson!

I had such an amazing time with this senior. Alex is absolutely gorgeous and a wonderful part of the Street Team. Her friends consider her the “Mom” of the friend group and with her caring nature I can see why. Alex moved to Billings from Nevada her sophomore year and, although it was a difficult transition at first, she has grown to really love Montana. She has made some great friends here and loves to hang out with them in her free time. She is a part of Senior Advocates and Key Club at Senior High and is thinking about majoring in communications or journalism in college. If you want to get on her good side – Alex’s favorite is ravioli, she loves the tv show Riverdale, and she has an adorable mini poodle. Thanks for letting me be apart of your senior year. Be Positive.

I absolutely adore girls that are equally as beautiful on the inside as they are on the out. Carrie is exactly that girl! She lights up every room that she enters and her smile is contagious. Carrie nailed it during her mini JGP Street Team shoot this spring, so I was so excited to photograph her again for her “real” senior session. Just as I expected, she was amazing! Every outfit looked fantastic on her and she posed so naturally behind the camera. I also had so much fun getting to know her better. Carrie is a cheerleader at Senior High who likes Beyonce, The Office, and Yellow Cake ice cream from Big Dipper. After graduation, she will attend college, she’s looking at schools in CA and most likely study math or science. She’s pretty fabulous, check her out! BE Creative.
