If you’re planning a vacation to Montana, this is how to plan a photo session with your family.
Kelly is a Helena photographer and one of her clients reached out to me raving about all the beautiful photos Kelly had captured of her family over the years. She wanted to thank her by gifting her a family session so Kelly could be the one in front of the camera for a change. That was the sweetest gesture, and I can’t think of a better gift. This session was filled with so much goodness that I can barely put it all into words. Luckily for me, I tell stories with pictures, so go ahead and scroll and feel it all for yourself.
Also, I’ve heard it said so many times that photographers are the worst at getting their pictures taken. Not true.
Oh. MY. WORD!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! I love each and every one of them!!! Thank you so, so much! I have no words for how happy these made us!
Check out Kelly’s beautiful work here.
It’s the space you’ve created together where you feel most comfortable and most yourself. If you’re nervous at all about your session, consider an in-home session.
I’ve been friends with this beautiful woman for many years, and I’ve loved watching her and her family grow. She is such an inspiration of a successful, driven, and motivated woman and devoted, loving, and humble mother.
“As for your style of photos, I absolutely love them! My husband and children and I do about one family photo shoot a year (for keepsakes and also for our christmas card), and I love having at least one great shot of the family looking at the camera, but I have always found the more candid photos to be the most memorable.” – Darcy
Word.
The candid shots really are the best because it’s real life and you adore your real life family. This session was busy with three little kiddos throwing rocks, crossing bridges, and climbing on fallen trees trunks. I love being able to capture it all – the adventure, curiosity, brotherly love and not so brotherly love, adoration for a melt-my-heart-adorable little sister, and the proof that a smile is contagious. Thank you for having me, Darcy and Brent! Your family is just perfect.
