The leaves rustled in the gentle breeze and a chill was in the air. Winter was close and trying to move in. Fall was not letting go. The cottonwoods were hanging onto their last leaves in protest. Burnt orange, golden amber, and blush red filled the landscape and gave warmth to the brisk evening. Asher […]

The breeze blew gently, rattling the dry leaves. Golden hearts shimmered across the sky and fell with the other leaves that littered the path way. They crunched beneath our feet. Foliage of every fall color imaginable surrounded us. As I took the boy’s photos, I could tell Wyatt need more. “How about we have a […]

What do you picture when I say “Fall Spokesmodel Session?” Let me tell you. It starts with a perfectly warm evening. Add golden leaves dancing on the trees, ready to float to the ground below at any moment. Sun beams streaming into the cottonwood grove. An earthy, comforting smell with every step you take.

The sun was quickly dropping behind the horizon. It cast a warm glow on the trees and grass along the rims. The pink clouds popped against the sky. The twins worked their so called “prairie dresses” as they spun, swayed, and strolled through the tall grass. The dreamy light illuminated their skin and hair giving […]

The morning sun illuminated the tall grass. The golden field looked ablaze and gave warmth to the brisk fall morning. Kristin’s smile beamed.

Touches of fall hung in the trees. The evening was still warm as we meandered through the cottonwood grove. The gravel path crunched beneath our feet, […]

The evening was a warm welcome from the morning rain. The golden sun was quickly slipping behind the downtown buildings. Jackson sat on the Depot steps, automatically leaning his elbows on his knees. Cars buzzed down Montana Avenue. “Now give me a scowl.” He did and boy did he nail it! “That’s the one right […]

The setting summer sun draped this downtown Billings senior session in golden light. The streets were buzzing with Saturday evening life. Flowers hung on to the last bit of summer, while the leaves of some trees were starting to show signs of fall. Samantha ran her fingers through her hair. She giggled. I snapped a […]

The evening rain settled the smoke that hung in the air. The clouds were still thick in the sky giving little room for the sun to break through.
