Darien is one of three girls and her mom says she is her ‘glam girl.’ With blonde curls, beautiful skin, and adorable style I can see why! Darien spends most of her time on her horses, practicing for rodeo events like team roping. If she’s not riding, she likes to read and make gorgeous beaded belts. Darien is super smart, loves Pinterest, and vacationed in Italy for many days a couple years back! I loved capturing her in her element and getting a peek into her world!

Hallie came into our studio a little nervous, but with no need to be. She is beautiful, and adventurous…moving every three years of her whole life for her dad’s job. Her last home was in New Orleans and she says she wants to head back to the south, probably Louisiana, for college to study to be a surgical PA for pediatrics. Surgery started to interest Hallie when she underwent a large back surgery last summer. I would never have known that on our shoot because she was so comfortable posing in all her adorable outfits behind the camera. I feel honored that this well-traveled beauty chose JGP to take her senior pictures. They turned out great!

This family has my heart! I photographed their wedding years ago in Flathead and have been with them ever since. Watching their family grow and each kiddo’s personality emerge throughout the years. Baby number three was well worth the wait. She is perfection and adored by everyone, her big sister loves her more than anything and her big brother is getting used to the idea of having another sister around, but when we put her in his arms he couldn’t help but grin and show his tender side. She is definitely surrounded by love with her fabulous immediate and extended family that I have come to know and love. She is a lucky little girl!!! Congrats guys!! xoxo btw- have you ever seen a newborn with painted nails? really does it get any cuter?

I loved getting to know this couple during their engagement session in Red Lodge. They were so sweet and I knew in an instant they were the perfect match. He was so sweet and tender with her, they complemented each other perfectly. I was excited for their big day in gorgeous Red Lodge, this time in the summer when the sun was shining down, and keeping us warm. They were surrounded by friends and family that adored them, the day was joyful and went off without a hitch. It was beautiful! She looked amazing in her dress and everything was decorated and attended to just like she had dreamt it would be. The food was fantastic and the DJ rocked the house all night long. A great time was had by all. Her Dad gave one of the most beautiful toasts I had ever heard, I don’t think there was a dry eye in sight. It was a wonderful day filled with love and laughter! Congrats you two!! I’m so excited for you and your new beginning together! xoxo

Such a fun afternoon with Josh and his family. This handsome young man is an amazing soccer player and looking to continue playing in college. He is outgoing, kind, and easy to be around. I was very impressed with his sense of style and I think he nailed it with all his different outfits. Josh’s favorite Netflix show is Family Guy, his favorite ice cream flavor is cookie dough, and his favorite snack is Cheetos. He is both a cat and a dog person, he has one cat named Lily and two dogs. I knew his darling sister but was thrilled I finally got to know him. Josh is the best!

Kendal is such a blast – let’s be friends! This sweet senior is so fun we had a great time at an old farm she showed me, I love new places. She was a dream to shoot. Kendal is very athletic running track and cross country for West High. Kendal’s track events include sprints and long jump. Her favorite candy is Reese’s, her favorite ice cream flavor is Moosetracks, and her favorite sports team is the Denver Broncos. In her free time, she likes to be outside skiing, fishing, hunting, or boating. You can also find her being a junior high leader at Faith Chapel or hanging with her friends. Kendal has the brightest future and I am so happy I got to know her kind soul. xoxo

Katie was one of my JGP senior models a couple of years ago and I fell in love with her then. She left for school in New York City and then came to work for us this summer. We shot her family a couple of days before she left for school again this fall. I was sad to see her go but so excited to hear about all of her adventures with she comes back for a couple of weeks at Christmas time. I got all teary during the shoot just because my family is going to be in this same spot much sooner than I think. Time is going by way too fast. I kept giving them prompts to do things to create emotion but then I would get teary, it was pretty pathetic, they are just the sweetest family ever and have so much fun together I love that Katie can come home and still have a blast and want to be with her family even though she has spread her wings. It is so great to see the close relationship that they have. We had a great time together!! Love you guys! Xo

These two!! They are so gorgeous and just perfect for each other! This beautiful bride was a bridesmaid in a wedding that I photographed so I was thrilled when she called and asked me to capture her big day. I loved getting to know her better and meeting her knight in shining armor during their engagement shoot, we had a great time and got comfortable with each other so we knew wedding day pics would be a breeze. I was so looking forward to their amazing wedding, I knew it would be beautiful, one of the bridesmaids was my past bride, that was super fun, and the rest of the wedding party was fantastic! The families were so sweet and just thrilled for the two of them coming together. They had a lovely ceremony followed by a fun filled reception, everyone had a blast! All of the vendors were amazing and the day went perfectly! Congrats guys!! I am so happy for you!! xoxo

Another amazing senior! I am the luckiest photographer ever! Jacob did an awesome job on his shoot! This young man spent a good portion of his summer in Japan exploring and learning with an exchange program. Jacob is involved in speech and debate and Business Professionals of America (BPA). I wouldn’t be surprised if he is the next Bill Gates. His goal for his senior pictures was to have fun and not be too serious, and I think we accomplished just that, I love that he brought a tux and did something different. I loved his outgoing personality. His favorite snack is cheese and crackers, his favorite tv show is House of Cards, and his dream vacation would be heading back to Japan. Have a great senior year, Jacob!

Chloe is super sweet and adorable. She is one of three kids, a golfer, and an aspiring nurse. I had a blast photographing her flawless complexion and gorgeous eyes! Chloe enjoys listening to country music, hanging with her friends, and watching Law in Order. Chloe is very adventurous, but, if given the option, prefers to travel first class 😉 She is leaning towards college at Montana State University to study nursing. So glad I got to meet and get to know Chloe!
