Montana is known for its beautiful landscapes, the big sky, the incredible mountain views, and of course, Glacier National Park. While having professional family photos taken with these scenic backdrops allows you to document your vacation and the beauty of Montana, more than anything, the photos will serve as a reminder of the time spent together as a family.
Why do we vacation with our family? Yes, to see amazing places, but it also provides an opportunity to create memories…so let’s document them! Family photos capture the love, fun, joy and togetherness shared during your trip.
While you can probably take great photos with your own devices or ask strangers to snap a quick phone pic, Photographers know the best locations, they can capture the best angles, lighting, and composition, to really show off the beauty of your family and the Montana scenery. And bonus, you get everyone in the frame! Speaking as a mom (and photographer!) who is often the one taking the photos, when traveling as a family, I often end up behind the camera, capturing moments but missing out on being in the photos! Hiring a photographer ensures that everyone is included and has their own place in those memories.
Whether you want candid photos of your family laughing and playing together or something a little more quiet and sentimental, your photographer can tailor a photo session to suit your family’s style and personalities. Does someone in your family play an instrument? Bring it along! Do you feel most comfortable when dancing and singing to your favorite music? Ask your photographer to blast your favorite playlist! Love the water? Don’t be afraid to jump in! Have kids that love to play in the dirt? Let them get dirty! The point is, your session can be as unique as your family and the more you personalize it, the more it will really show off the amazing memories you created in Montana.
Once you receive your family photos, I offer digital galleries and the option to purchase prints, so you can easily share them with friends and family. Whether it’s social media, digital albums, or printed copies, these photos allow you to relive the vacation and share the beauty of Montana with your loved ones. I promise you that your children will treasure seeing photos of you and walking down memory lane every time they look at them.
