True Grit





I am so grateful that I live in today's world with electricity and heat right at my finger tips....I love old homesteads, Montana history, and the days of the last frontier....but not sure I could have made it during winters like the one we are having now....20 below wind chill...snow.....how did the old timers do it?!?!?!




True Grit.............

Brady Gray






It was such a pleasure this fall to work with Brady Gray...she was so patient and I learned a lot from our photo shoots...trial and error....she was like my guinea pig and still seemed happy with the results....I realized later that sometimes my lighting wasn't correct because bright perfect days aren't necessarily the best days to take people pictures.  The biggest thing I learned which totally broke my heart is losing so many quality photos from our shoots due to my lack of backing up photos...still so upset about it...guess its a good thing I still take pictures for FREE!!!!



Brady made the major decision to be a soldier
This was taken Two-Medicine Valley, Blackfeet Res

Tried to incorporate some of her heritage



What I really want to try and capture is what the people want to reflect of themselves and Senior pictures are the perfect opportunity!



Brady loves basketball & plans to play at UGF



She seemed to have the most fun shooting in her basketball attire
I am a little biased because I love track...I thought she should show off some of her braggin ' rights!








Here is a couple extra shots I had fun taking & we hope to do some street clothes, close up ones this spring unless she is completely tired of being my "guinea pig"  Thanks for your time Brady!
