Billings Senior Photographer

Senior Portraits

Senior year is such an exciting time, and your photos should reflect who you are right now. As a Billings Senior Photographer, I love creating senior portrait sessions that feel fun, relaxed, and true to your personality. Whether that’s around Billings or in the mountains in Red Lodge. Senior photos are a great way to celebrate this milestone and capture memories you’ll always look back on.

Lily – Class of 2026

Lily was my first senior session of the summer and she set the bar very high! We went to Red Lodge with her family and dogs and had a wonderful night snapping photos in the mountains!

Lily will be a senior at West High and is in wrestling and the National Honor Society. Her family describes her as determined, family oriented, and hard-working. She will be working at a church camp this summer and plans to head to college next year to specialize in Radiology! You go girl!

Ady – Class of 2026

We got rained out on the first round of Ady’s senior session so we had to move it to another day. But I’m so glad we did because we scored a beautiful evening (minus all the mosquitoes that attacked us)!!

Ady is such a cool girl and pulled off the “model pose” so well. She is involved in dance, FFA, is in the process of building a plane with her classmates, and is going on a trip to Japan this summer! Her mom describes her as funny, kind and laid back. I loved getting to know Ady, her family, and their dog Charlie!

Billings Senior Photographer (Alex)

I’m not sure if I’ve ever laughed harder during a senior session before! Between Alex and his mom, they had me rolling on the ground! We seriously had a blast cracking jokes and telling stories, so the evening just flew by!

Alex is in track & soccer at Senior High and according to him, he’s pretty damn fast! 😅 His mom describes him as kind, funny, and athletic. He truly is a joy to be around!

Andrew – Class of 2026

Andrew is a senior at West High, but spends his days full time at the Career Center, working toward a future in construction. I’ve been lucky enough to photograph his family since he was little, so it was extra special to capture this milestone for him.

His mom describes him as kind, thoughtful, and always willing to help and I couldn’t agree more. We wrapped up his session with the most epic sunset. Talk about perfect timing!

Billings Senior Photographer (Aubrey)

How special that I’ve gotten to photograph all 3 of the Kroll girls for their senior portaits over the years! And now it was Aubrey’s turn! She is such a joy to be around and we had a gorgeous night for photos. I was so excited when she said she wanted to go in the river too!

Aubrey is involved in so many things — Varsity Tennis, Varsity Choir, National Honor Society, Tri-M, and Church Youth Group to name a few. Her family describes her as outgoing, adventurous, and kind. She plans to go to college with hopes to serve children in a medial setting. She is such an awesome soul!

Colton – Class of 2026

I had the best time in Red Lodge with Colton and his awesome family! Between baseball, basketball, fishing, and hunting, this West High senior stays busy. But his mom says what really stands out is how kind, caring, and what a natural leader he is. Excited to see where the future takes him!

Ellie – Class of 2026

Ellie is a West High senior who somehow managed to juggle two jobs this summer (seriously impressive). Her family describes her as friendly, social, and polite. I totally saw that shine through during her session.

We explored Two Moon Park and downtown Billings, and she crushed every backdrop we tried. After graduation, Ellie’s planning to head to the University of Missoula and chase her dream of starting her own cosmetology business. Big things ahead for this girl!

Billings Senior Photographer (Claire)

All of my seniors have been phenomenal to work with, and Claire is no exception! She is so easy-going and has such a natural beauty. I have known her mom since junior high so it’s always fun catching up whenever we can. Claire brought along her friend Audrey to help make her laugh which made for a great time. We really enjoyed wandering through the flower fields at Flowerstead Farms too!!

Hailey – Class of 2026

Hailey may have a quiet demeanor, but the more I visited with her I could tell that she has a beautiful heart. She told me that after high school she plans to go to college to major in Child Psychology. I love that!

We had a wonderful session in Red Lodge surrounded by wildflowers and mountains. Hailey will be in the 2026 graduating class at Laurel High and her mom describes her as smart, kind, and caring.

Harrison – Class of 2026

Don’t get me wrong, I thoroughly enjoyed my session with Harrison and his family, but the highlight of the day was when we all saw a moose! It was so cool (and maybe a little scary) but we kept our distance and all was good!

Harrison will be in the graduating class at Lockwood High School. He’s involved in football & track and works part-time at my favorite store, Target! His family describes him as funny, committed, and kind. He is such a cool dude!

Billings Senior Photographer (Lydia)

Meet Lydia! She’s a senior at Senior High and is involved in NHS and Senior Advocates. When she’s not hitting the books, you can find her skiing or spending time with kids at the YMCA where she worked all summer. Her mom describes her as loving, smart, and thoughtful. I couldn’t agree more after photographing her!

Billings Senior Photographer (Madison)

A couple of years ago, I had the pleasure of photographing Madison’s older brother—and now it was her turn in front of the camera! Her mom described her as quiet, respectful, and kind, and I couldn’t agree more. We had such a lovely evening together, joined by her amazing parents and their sweet pup, Zoey!

Madison will be a senior at West High and has her sights set on a career in the medical field. I’m always so inspired when teens have such big dreams for their future!

Nick – Class of 2026

Meet Nick! A West High senior who brought the best sidekick “Duke” to his Red Lodge session. I photographed his brother Ryan a couple years ago, so it was extra fun to hang out with his awesome family again!

Nick’s girlfriend kept him laughing, and he has such an easygoing personality, so we had a great time in the mountains! His parents describe Nick as smart, funny, and driven, and he’s already looking ahead to MSU next year. Excited to see where the future takes him!

Makinnzy – Class of 2026

I had the best time wandering around downtown with Makinnzy and playing with different poses and backdrops. She totally nailed the model look! Her mom describes her as kind, selfless, and funny, which couldn’t be more true!

Makinnzy is dreaming about a future either in the culinary world (because she loves to cook) or as a flight attendant so she can travel the world and get paid to do it. How fun is that?

Parker – Class of 2026

Parker is a Skyview senior who is making the most of his last year! He’s active in Track & Field, Business Professionals of America, and his Youth Group. For his senior photos, we had the best time including his awesome family (and their sweet pup), plus a special appearance from his dad’s 1969 Camaro.

His mom describes him perfectly as kind, courageous, and adventurous. Parker is looking ahead to either MSU or Montana Tech to pursue Mechanical Engineering. Excited to see where this next chapter takes him!

Mya – Class of 2026

I’ve been taking photos of Mya since she was a little girl, so it was kind of bitter sweet to be doing her senior portraits! She has grown into such a beautiful young woman with a great personality and sense of style. I loved every moment of her session in the mountains. I can’t wait to see where the future takes her!

Billings Senior Photographer (Rayce)

Rayce is the third son in the Newman family that I’ve gotten to take senior portaits of. He’s got charm and that “tough-guy” look all rolled into one. He is involved in football, basketball, and track at Skyview. His mom describes him as friendly, fun, and a leader. He plans to go to college for PT after he graduates.

I always have fun at my sessions with the Newman boys because even though each one has a different personality, they are the most well-mannered young men. Well done Mom & Dad!

Rocky – Class of 2026

You’re looking at Rocky who was recently named as Central High’s Homecoming King! I’ve been photographing him and his family for the past 10 years, so this session felt extra special.

We started out at Beartooth Performance Strength & Conditioning where Rocky got to show off his hard work, then headed to the park with his family (and their adorable pup, Romeo), and wrapped up downtown for some cool, industrial shots.

His parents describe him as quiet, kind, and smart, and he’s planning to stay close to home for college — possibly studying business or computer science at MSUB or Rocky. So proud to see how far he’s come!

Tegan – Class of 2026

Tegan was a little reserved when I first met him — as are most teen boys! But he definitely opened up as we took his senior portraits and we visited. He has the best smile and in less than .001 seconds he can turn that into a smolder that only models can achieve!

Tegan’s mom describes him as quiet, honest, and caring. He will be a senior at West High and plans to go to college for interior construction & design!

Will – Class of 2026

Will is a senior at Central High and has his hands in just about everything—Speech & Drama, Choir, Film, and Journalism. He’s planning to head to the University of Montana next year to study broadcast journalism or sports broadcasting, and with his supportive blended family behind him, I have no doubt he’ll do amazing things!

Will’s mom describes him perfectly: considerate, witty, and authentic. We had such a fun evening in the mountains for his session. It was the perfect backdrop for this talented guy’s senior photos!
