I have to say that I was pretty happy with how the day went – I had some ideas that I wanted to try, and I think I got exactly what I wanted form them.  Love that feeling! Doing personal work also lets me play around a bit on the processing end the workflow – which you will definitely see here.  Just a little different feel to some of these…  Let me know what you think!

Again, big thanks to everyone!  Here are a few favorites from the day…

We weren’t going for a really high fashion look – more catalog style maybe you could say?  Whatever you want to call it, we got exactly the look I was wanting.  Thanks Ashley – you rocked it!  Mostly outdoors, with a few fun studio ones thrown in.  Let us know what you think!

Thanks to Josh and Jeremiah for coming along and shooting some, too.

And, without further ado, the images…

So, first off, what is the senior model program?  The program is works like this: every year I recruit several juniors from each school to be model.  Usually in later summer/early fall we go out and shoot a portrait session, very much like we would for your senior photos.  Only you are still only a junior.  Then, we decide which ones you like the best, and I give you some things to share with your friends.  You get some awesome photos, and in return I just ask that you tell your friends.  Which you’ll want to, because you are going to love your photos.   As a model, you get to shoot for longer, and help me come up with fun ideas for shoots.

Senior models also have the opportunity to participate in other fun events that I’m working on – more details on that soon.

Then, your senior year, we go out and shoot some killer senior portraits for you!  It really is a lot of fun, and everyone who has participated so far has loved it.

So, what’s left to do?  Check out the images I’ve posted below, and then if you are interested becoming a senior model, contact me right away.  I could really use some Helena High students, and maybe 1 more Capital High student. Oh, and several of the people below are some my senior models.

Contact links after the pictures.  Or use the contact link up in the corner!

Thanks,

So, now you’ve seen some of the fun we have – time to contact me!  or 406.439.0944

I’ve been eager to post this set!  Lesly and Kurt are friends of mine – I’ve known them both quite a while.  Contrary to a lot of photographers, I like working with friends.
These two are getting married here in Helena in May – I can’t wait for the wedding!
Hope you enjoy the images – leave them some love in the comments!
Oh, and full gallery going up here shortly.

Some of you are thinking…  What is a Senior Model?  Isn’t she still a Junior?

A Senior Model is someone who agrees to let me do a Senior style session with them while they are still in their Junior year.
They’ve seen my work, and want to help me get the word out to their friends.
So they get to do an early shoot (we usually do an updated session their senior year) and have a ton of fun.
Just ask them about it…

And now you know.

Without further ado, here are Emily’s images…

Emilie and Josh were married at Kleffner Ranch, in Helena, Montana.

And yes, I know they are the only people in this post – sometimes you just need to get back to basics, I guess. 

Leave them some love in the comments!

Full gallery coming soon here.

The pair of images above were inspired by an image I saw by Gabe McClintock.

This next image is an example something I don’t often do – but I think it worked.  Your thoughts?

Lindsey and Sage were married outside Sheridan, Montana.

{You guys are phenomenal people and we are so glad we got the chance to know you}

Heather and Andy were married in Butte, Montana at the Original Headframe, with a reception at the Front Street Station, pictured above.
