Madison – Senior Class of 2025 | Helena, Montana | Softball Star
Madison, a senior from Helena, MT, brings her love for softball to life in this unforgettable senior session. From action-packed shots on the field to timeless portraits, we captured her passion and dedication as she steps into the next chapter. Ready to tell your own story? Let’s make it happen!
Senior year is a whirlwind of emotions—excitement for the future, nostalgia for the past, and a desire to capture this once-in-a-lifetime milestone. For athletes like Madison, who have dedicated years to their sport, finding a photographer who can truly showcase their passion for softball while highlighting their personality can be challenging.
Many senior portraits fail to capture the essence of who you are. Generic poses, stiff smiles, and uninspired locations don’t do justice to an athlete's journey and dedication. Madison wanted more than just traditional senior photos—she wanted images that reflected her love for softball and the drive that has fueled her for years.
That’s where I come in. With an eye for storytelling and a love for capturing authentic moments, I worked with Madison to create a session that showcased her talent and personality. From action shots on the field to soft golden hour portraits that highlighted her confidence, we brought her senior story to life in a way that felt truly her own.

Before diving into planning, take a moment to enjoy this special time. Announce your engagement in a way that feels right for you—whether it's a big party or an intimate dinner with family.

Sit down with your partner and discuss what’s most important for your wedding. Is it the venue, the photography, the guest experience? This will guide every decision moving forward.

Photographers, videographers, and planners are some of the first vendors to book. If capturing your wedding beautifully is a priority, don’t wait too long to secure your photographer!

A rough guest count helps determine the size of your venue and affects catering and seating.
8. Get Engagement Photos
An engagement session is a great way to celebrate and get comfortable in front of the camera before your big day.

Pinterest, wedding blogs, and Instagram are great places to find inspiration, but remember to stay true to what feels authentic to you as a couple.

How to Choose the Perfect Location for Your Engagement/Proposal Photos in the Rocky Mountains (or Anywhere Else!)
Struggling to find the perfect location for your engagement or proposal photos? Discover expert tips on selecting breathtaking spots in the Rocky Mountains or beyond for a stress-free and unforgettable experience.
Choosing the perfect location for your engagement or proposal photos can feel overwhelming. Do you want a dramatic mountain backdrop, a serene lake, or a hidden meadow? And what about accessibility, lighting, and the overall vibe of the location?
Not all picturesque spots are ideal for photography. Some locations may have unpredictable weather, harsh lighting, or even permit restrictions. You want a spot that not only looks beautiful but also allows you to relax and enjoy the moment.
As a professional wedding and engagement photographer, I’ve spent years scouting locations that provide breathtaking scenery and the best conditions for capturing your special moments. Whether in the Rocky Mountains or beyond, I help couples find the perfect spot that fits their vision while ensuring stunning photography results.
Finding Your Dream Location
Define Your Vision – Do you picture an adventurous mountaintop session, a cozy forest escape, or a lakeside romance? Knowing your style helps narrow down locations.
Consider the Season – Rocky Mountain winters are magical but chilly. Spring and summer bring lush landscapes, while fall offers golden hues. Choose based on the experience you want.
Think About Accessibility – Some of the best spots require a short hike. If you prefer an easy-access location, I have a list of stunning drive-up options.
Lighting is Key – Golden hour (sunrise or sunset) provides the most flattering natural light. I help schedule your session at the perfect time for dreamy photos.
Make It Personal – Pick a location with sentimental value, like where you first met, had your first date, or got engaged.
Benefits You Can Expect
Breathtaking Scenery – Locations handpicked for their stunning views and perfect lighting.
Seamless Experience – I handle logistics, permits, and timing so you can enjoy the moment.
Authentic Emotions Captured – I create a comfortable atmosphere so your love story shines through.
Personalized Guidance – From outfit tips to posing ideas, I guide you every step of the way.

Capturing the Drive: Thomas and the Shelby GT500 in a Senior Photo Session
Celebrate senior milestones with a personal touch! Discover how Thomas’s senior photo session with his grandfather’s Shelby created timeless memories, blending family legacy with modern ambition.
Finding a way to make senior photos deeply personal and unique can be challenging. Many senior portraits end up looking generic, failing to capture the personality and passions of the individual.
Sometimes, including meaningful elements like family heirlooms or sentimental objects in photos can feel tricky—how do you make them fit naturally into the session?
By incorporating Thomas's grandfather's Shelby into his senior portrait session, we created a unique and meaningful experience that celebrated his family legacy while capturing his personality. Thoughtful planning and the right setting brought everything together seamlessly.
This summer, I had the incredible honor of photographing Thomas, a proud senior from Three Forks, Montana High School's Class of 2025. From the moment we planned his session, it was clear this shoot was going to be something special. Thomas brought along his grandfather's car — a stunning Shelby — adding a layer of personal history and charm to his senior portraits.
The Bond Between Generations
Thomas's session was more than just a photo shoot; it was a tribute to the bond he shares with his grandfather. The Shelby, meticulously cared for and gleaming under the summer sun, held stories of its own. This car wasn’t just a backdrop; it was a character in Thomas's journey, representing family legacy, shared memories, and a love for timeless craftsmanship.
A Perfect Summer Day
We chose a picturesque location that matched the classic elegance of the Shelby while showcasing the natural beauty of Montana. The golden light of the setting sun created the perfect glow, illuminating Thomas's confidence and pride as he stood alongside the car. Whether leaning against its sleek curves or sitting behind the wheel with a relaxed smile, Thomas exuded a sense of maturity and readiness for the adventures ahead.
Capturing Personality and Passion
As a photographer, my goal is always to tell a story. For Thomas, it was about highlighting his connection to his roots while celebrating the exciting future that awaits him. His genuine smile, relaxed demeanor, and the pride he felt in being part of something larger than himself made every shot a joy to capture. The Shelby added a unique layer to his portraits, blending nostalgia with modern ambition.
Want to create senior photos that are truly one-of-a-kind? Let’s work together to capture your story in a way that you’ll cherish forever.

Planning a family photo session can feel like a daunting task. From coordinating schedules to finding the perfect location, it’s easy to get overwhelmed. Many families worry that the stress will overshadow the joy of capturing these moments.

A Family Session in the Backyard: A Story
The backyard was an open Montana field with mountains in the background, a meandering creek, and an old farm building. The property was located near Boulder, Montana. It provided the perfect blend of rustic charm and natural beauty, making it an ideal setting to capture authentic family moments.
The session was effortless—no rushing, no fuss. The kids played, explored, and occasionally came over for hugs, while I captured those little moments that tell a family’s story. By the end, they had a gallery filled with laughter, connection, and love—a true reflection of who they are.
Why This Matters
Convenience: Skip the stress of packing up the family for an off-site location.
Comfort: Familiar spaces bring out genuine smiles and relaxed poses.
Memories: Your backyard holds meaning, making your photos even more special.

Love in the Mountains: Jenna & Diego’s Bridger Range Engagement Session
Jenna and Diego’s love story came alive during their engagement session at Bridger Mountain Range. With the breathtaking Montana landscape as their backdrop and Jenna rocking chic overalls, these two radiated joy and authenticity. From playful spins to golden-hour magic, every moment was picture-perfect. I can’t wait to capture their wedding this August!
Capturing Their Unique Love Story
Jenna and Diego wanted their engagement photos to feel personal and authentic—a reflection of their shared laughter, quiet moments, and the adventurous spirit they love. How do you capture a story as unique as theirs while keeping the moments timeless?
Choosing the Perfect Location
The couple dreamed of a scenic backdrop that would resonate with their Montana roots. Bridger Mountain Range offered breathtaking views, but unpredictable weather and shifting light created challenges for creating consistently stunning photos.
A Day at Bridger Mountain Range
With Jenna and Diego, we embraced nature’s unpredictability. We scheduled their session to catch the golden-hour glow, packing the day with candid moments and heartfelt smiles. Bridger Mountain Range delivered sweeping vistas, rustic trails, and moody skies—everything they had envisioned for their session.
Jenna’s flowing dress contrasted beautifully with Diego’s sharp yet relaxed style, while the cool mountain breeze and subtle mist added cinematic flair. Together, we created photos that reflected their love story against Montana’s breathtaking wilderness.
Their Engagement Session, Captured
From the first shutter click, Jenna and Diego were naturals. We started with playful poses in an open field, the Bridger peaks standing tall behind them. Jenna, dressed in stylish overalls, brought a casual yet effortlessly chic vibe to the session, perfectly complementing Diego’s laid-back style. Their laughter was contagious as Diego spun Jenna in circles, her overalls moving gracefully in the light mountain breeze.
As the session continued, we explored areas with scattered trees, where the golden-hour light filtered beautifully through the branches. Jenna and Diego’s chemistry was undeniable, making every shot feel like a moment frozen in time.
I can’t wait to capture their wedding this August and continue telling their love story!

A Beautiful Elopement at The Pavilion at Gallatin River Lodge- Jen & Colton's Special Day
Jen and Colton’s elopement at Gallatin River Lodge was a heartfelt celebration of love and new beginnings. With the Rocky Mountains as their backdrop and Jen glowing at over 30 weeks pregnant, their wedding day was both intimate and unforgettable. Dive into their story and see how we captured every precious moment of their journey to becoming a family.
Elopement at The Pavilion at Gallatin River Lodge - Alyssa Johnson Photography - Bozeman Montana Elopement/Wedding Photographer
When Jen and Colton decided to elope, they wanted an intimate, heartfelt celebration that captured their love and the excitement of welcoming a new life. The Pavilion at Gallatin River Lodge in Bozeman, MT, provided the perfect setting for their July wedding day, set against Montana’s stunning landscape and warm summer skies. With Jen glowing at over 30 weeks pregnant, their wedding was as much a celebration of love as it was of family and future.
The Challenges of a Pregnant Bride and an Elopement
Planning for the perfect, stress-free day while more than 30 weeks pregnant can be tricky. Comfort and pacing are key, but so is finding ways to let the bride relax and enjoy her day.
Capturing the intimacy and significance of an elopement requires a careful touch. Without the usual fanfare of a big wedding, every moment becomes even more important to record and cherish.
How to Make Their Day Perfect
With thoughtful planning and flexible pacing, we made sure that Jen and Colton could take breaks whenever needed, allowing Jen to rest while we captured the beauty of the day. From the peaceful walk through the Lodge’s lush grounds to intimate moments by the river, we focused on creating natural, romantic portraits that celebrated not only their love but also Jen’s radiant joy as a mother-to-be.
We tailored the photo session to capture the elopement’s special significance, honoring each moment with sensitivity and care. With the mountains framing their vows and the warm Bozeman sunlight enveloping them, every shot reflected their unique journey as a couple.

Capturing True Moments in a Unique Setting
Jada and Ryan's love story isn't just about dates and milestones—it’s about experiences, adventure, and a lifetime of memories that deserve to be captured authentically. But, how do you truly capture the spirit of a couple with a story so rich and varied?
Finding the Perfect Place and Style for Their Story
Jada and Ryan wanted more than just pictures—they wanted a visual legacy of their love. And with Montana’s breathtaking landscapes as their backdrop, the challenge was to find a way to capture both their personalities and the natural beauty surrounding them.
Tailored Photography That Embraces Their Love Story
By combining natural poses, candid emotions, and expert timing, we were able to bring Jada and Ryan's unique story to life. From their first date to their adventurous trips across Yellowstone and beyond, each image tells the story of their journey, capturing timeless moments against Montana’s stunning scenery.
When Jada and Ryan chose to tie the knot, they envisioned a celebration as timeless and adventurous as their love story. Their wedding at the historic Marysville General Store in the heart of Maryville, Montana, was just that—an enchanting blend of Montana’s rugged beauty and the intimate warmth of a family gathering.
The Historic Marysville General Store as a Backdrop
The choice of the Marysville General Store added a unique, rustic charm to their wedding. Nestled in the heart of Maryville, the store combines historic Montana architecture with a natural elegance that mirrored Jada and Ryan’s love for exploring rugged landscapes. Surrounded by scenic mountain views and the cozy, inviting atmosphere of the store, their wedding felt both deeply personal and profoundly connected to Montana’s natural beauty.
Wedding Details: A Blend of Rustic Charm and Modern Elegance
The decor was a beautiful balance of earthy and elegant tones. Natural elements, including lush greenery and soft white florals, enhanced the rustic charm of the general store’s wooden beams and vintage décor. Soft candlelight flickered against the rich wood, creating an intimate glow that filled the space with warmth and romance.
The tables were adorned with simple, elegant centerpieces featuring wildflowers native to Montana, bringing an organic feel to the celebration. Their color palette of soft greens, whites, and natural earth tones perfectly complemented the historic setting, emphasizing the harmonious blend of the couple’s modern love story with Montana’s timeless beauty.
Capturing Unforgettable Moments with a Unique Twist
Jada and Ryan’s wedding wasn’t just about the decor; it was about the authentic, heartfelt moments they shared with each other and their loved ones. From heartfelt vows to quiet moments stolen just for the two of them, each part of the ceremony and reception was captured in a way that highlighted both their personalities and the love that brought them together. We focused on candid shots that told the story of their day with authenticity, from their laughter to the tender glances they shared.

Struggling to Find the Right Daddy-Daughter Song? Here’s How to Make It Perfect
Choosing the perfect daddy-daughter song can be overwhelming, but it’s all about capturing a song that truly reflects your bond. Whether it’s a heartfelt classic or something unique to you both, this guide will help you find the song that makes your dance unforgettable.
Picking the perfect song for a daddy-daughter dance is a challenging yet memorable task. Many couples struggle to find a song that genuinely represents their unique relationship. You want something special, something that resonates and feels authentic—yet sorting through thousands of songs can feel overwhelming!
While timeless classics are popular for father-daughter dances, they may not hold personal significance for everyone. And sometimes, newer, lesser-known songs can capture the heart but may not resonate with your guests in the same way. Finding that balance between classic and personal is often the trickiest part.
Tips to Choose Your Ideal Daddy Daughter Song
Think About Shared Memories – Reflect on memories, experiences, or places you and your dad shared. Think of a song that reflects those moments.
Discuss Your Song Choices – If possible, sit down with your dad and discuss what each of you envisions for the dance. Share songs and get each other's reactions.
Consider the Mood and Dance Style – Do you want something lighthearted, heartfelt, or perhaps a bit more upbeat? Choose a song that fits your dancing style and desired mood.
Make It Unique – Pick a song that feels just right for you both, regardless of tradition or popular choices.

How Many Hours Should I Book My Wedding Photographer For?
Planning how many hours of wedding photography you need can be overwhelming. This guide helps you navigate the process by understanding your wedding day timeline, prioritizing key moments, and choosing the right package to ensure every precious moment is captured beautifully without breaking the bank. From building a wedding timeline to deciding on a first look, this article provides insights to make your wedding day photography stress-free and memorable
Uncertainty in Planning Planning a wedding involves many details, and knowing how many hours of photography you need can be one of the most confusing parts.
Ensuring Adequate Coverage You want to ensure all significant moments are captured without paying for unnecessary hours.
Tailored Coverage Based on Your Day By understanding your wedding day schedule and prioritizing key moments, you can select the right photography package that meets both your needs and your budget.
Building a Wedding Timeline Always include extra time in your schedule to avoid feeling rushed. Unexpected delays can happen, and it’s better to have extra time and not need it than to stress about fitting everything in.
First Look Having a first look can be a private and calming moment before the ceremony, allowing you to spend more time together and take more photos without the pressure of guests waiting.
Weddings Without a First Look If you choose not to have a first look, plan for extra time during the cocktail hour for formal photos. Ensure everyone knows they’ll be needed for pictures immediately after the ceremony.
How Long Do Wedding Photos Take? Standard packages usually range from 6 to 10 hours. Here’s how different packages can fit your day:
6 Hour Package:
Ideal for smaller weddings with fewer activities.

Ready to capture unforgettable moments with your furry friend? 🐕❤️
Dogs can be unpredictable, making it challenging to get the perfect shot. They might get distracted, refuse to sit still, or become overexcited.
Not all photoshoot locations are dog-friendly. It can be tough to find a place where your dog can be safe, comfortable, and legally allowed.
Proper preparation can help you manage your dog’s behavior and find the perfect location for your shoot. With the right approach, you can ensure your dog is calm, happy, and photogenic.
Including your furry friend in your photoshoot can create heartwarming and unique moments, but it requires careful planning and preparation. Here’s a guide to help you tackle common challenges and make your photoshoot with your dog a memorable success.
Preparing Your Dog
To ensure your dog is well-behaved during the shoot, focus on training and commands. Practice basic commands like sit, stay, and come in various environments to get your dog accustomed to responding even with distractions. Additionally, a tired dog is more likely to be cooperative, so give your dog plenty of exercise before the shoot.
Grooming is another crucial aspect. A clean, well-groomed dog will look its best in photos. Consider a bath, brushing, and a trim if needed.
Choosing the Right Location
Select a dog-friendly location where your pet will feel comfortable and secure. Parks, open fields, and even your backyard can be great options. Ensure the place allows dogs and has minimal distractions to keep your dog focused.

Kara and Ryan: A Love Story for the Ages
📸✨ Capturing Kara and Ryan's fairytale wedding at the stunning Bozeman Mountain Escape was an absolute dream! From their first CrossFit encounter in Nashville to their heartfelt "I do's" in the majestic Montana landscape, their love story is a testament to adventure, growth, and unwavering commitment. 💍❤️
Capturing Authentic Moments
Many couples struggle to find ways to capture their wedding day that truly reflect their unique love story and personalities. Traditional photography often feels too posed and fails to convey the genuine emotions of the day.
Finding the Right Venue
Selecting a venue that not only looks beautiful but also complements the couple's story and style can be challenging. Many venues can be either too commercial or lack the intimate charm couples are looking for.
Personalized Wedding Photography and Unique Venues
By choosing personalized wedding photography and a unique venue like Bozeman Mountain Escape, couples can ensure their special day is captured in a way that truly represents their journey. With a focus on authentic moments and a picturesque setting, every photograph will tell the story of their love.
Capturing the Magic of Their Wedding Day at Bozeman Mountain Escape
On Sunday, May 26, 2024, Kara and Ryan celebrated their love at the beautiful Bozeman Mountain Escape in Livingston, MT. Their journey, filled with joy, adventure, and heartfelt moments, led them to this perfect day.
How It All Began
Kara and Ryan's story began in an unexpected place—a CrossFit gym in Nashville, TN. Kara was pushing through a grueling set of burpees, and Ryan, watching her determination, thought to himself, "Wow! She has some gravel in her gut." Intrigued, he soon mustered the courage to ask her out on a date. To his delight, she said "Yes!"
Falling in Love
Their connection grew stronger with each passing day. They embarked on adventures big and small, from sampling the best chicken wings in Tennessee and camping in monsoon conditions to enjoying movies, dining at fancy restaurants, and even washing their cars together. Each experience brought them closer, deepening their understanding and love for one another.
A New Chapter in Bozeman
In 2022, Kara and Ryan moved to Bozeman, MT, to start the next chapter of their lives together. Living in the "great white north" presented new challenges, like driving in snow and budgeting with two incomes. Through it all, they supported each other, learning to navigate the quirks of cohabitation. Their love grew stronger with each new lesson and shared experience.
The Proposal
By 2023, Kara and Ryan knew they were ready for the next step in their relationship. In December, under the watchful eyes of the bison and wolves in Yellowstone National Park, Ryan asked Kara to spend the rest of her life with him. Her answer was a resounding "Yes!"
The Wedding Day
As Kara and Ryan stood together at Bozeman Mountain Escape, surrounded by family and friends, they reflected on their incredible journey. From the CrossFit gym in Nashville to the majestic landscapes of Montana, their love story has been one of perseverance, growth, and unwavering commitment.
Join us in celebrating the start of Kara and Ryan Van Sluytman's new life together. May their days be filled with continued adventure, laughter, and the deep love that has brought them to this beautiful moment.
