Most sessions start 1 to 2 hours before sunset. This is when the Tetons glow, the light is soft, and skin tones stay true to color so your photographs print beautifully. If your plans require a different time, we will guide you to locations and a timeline that keep everything as flattering as possible.

Most portraits happen around Jackson Hole and Grand Teton National Park. Favorite spots include Schwabacher Landing, Mormon Row, Taggart Lake, and Oxbow Bend. I also photograph in Teton Valley Idaho, including Driggs, Victor, and Tetonia. I will suggest locations that match your group size, walking distance, and view.

Unless there is a thunderstorm, we keep shooting and roll with the weather. Jackson Hole conditions change quickly, and scattered showers often pass in minutes, leaving soft light and dramatic skies. If a storm or unsafe conditions develop, we will reschedule to the next available window so your Grand Teton images look their best.

Complete the contact form with your requested date and a second choice. I will get as close as possible and confirm the best light and location window. To secure the session you will sign a short agreement and pay the retainer. Summer calendars often fill 1 to 2 months in advance, though last minute openings do pop up.

I’ve been meddling in photography one way or another most of my life. From my minnie mouse film camera to exploring more film photography in high school, classes and certifications, to teaching other photographers, I’ve touched on most photography aspects over the last 35+ years.
