Senior Session Sale

One of my favorite times of the year is Spring not only because of the beautiful flowers and everything starting to green up from Winter, but because of Senior Portraits!!

I wanted to give back to our community and offer the first 22 seniors of 2022 – 50% off their session fee!!!

I just love capturing this momentous occasion in time! I love looking back at both my high-school and college senior portraits. That’s right…. I said College! I feel like everyone forgets about the college senior portraits! You spend so much time and effort getting that college degree — Make sure you capture that moment!! The college portraits are especially fun because you can tailor them more to the field of study you completed!!

Don’t get me wrong, I’m all for the high-school sports, club, and individual portraits as well! Having that first HUGE goal of graduating high-school checked off the list. It’s just so much fun to capture those smiles and have some fun celebrating!

Shoot me a message or give me a call to book your session today!

Mini Sessions

I’m so excited to offer Mini Sessions! I started these since there was a great response to our little girl’s monthly photos 🙂 These are great for keepsakes to give to family and friends!

We are working on having these sessions on a monthly basis to match up themes/holidays! Some of themes I have done in the past are: Thanksgiving, Christmas, Fall, Halloween, etc. Look forward to Spring, 4th of July, Summer and maybe some bonus ones!

Typically I post on our Facebook page with details of the event. It’ll be posted in Facebook Marketplace, but the best way to find out about the sessions would be through our Facebook page! 🙂

This was the Easter Keepsake session we put on for April:

Mini Easter Keepsake photoshoot the weekend of 3/27, the Saturday before Easter weekend! 🐥

We are planning on having chicks/ducklings but if they do not arrive in time we will be doing two sets!

There are limited spots available – $25 reserves your 20 minute keepsake spot!

A month of Goals — January 2021

I started the year out with many goals. First one being picking up my camera some more for fun! I was gifted some great accessories around the holiday season and I wanted to try them out! Second was to post at least month on my blog — check back regularly to keep me accountable. Thirdly to just grow — not only as a person but my business. I’m looking forward to branching out and build on my skills!

In picking up my camera more this month, I captured some great moments! Forcing myself to get out even in the worst of conditions was a GREAT challenge. I loved being able to play around without the pressure. Goals are there to push you and make you better. Pushing myself to take pictures in less than ideal situations was a great start to the new year. I am looking forward to what 2021 has to bring!

This was one of my favorite pictures from the month and it was the top picture on my Instagram account for January as well! The picture came from one cloudy night, with a short sunset that burned the sky — In a manner of minutes these colors and clouds had disappeared into the night!

Hello and Welcome!!

My name is Jauna Palin and I live in one of the most beautiful places on Earth, the Bitterroot Valley, Montana. I have always LOVED taking pictures of animals, landscape, and our beautiful sunsets.

My love of photography did not stop there! I love looking back at the moments I captured in nature and wanted to share that with everyone. I wanted everyone to be able to capture their moments and I wanted to help them with that! 🙂 I still love capturing moments of animals, landscape, and those beautiful sunset (how could I not?!), but I find extreme joy in watching someone’s face light up when I have captured their special moments!

Enough of the sappy stuff, let me tell you a wee bit more about myself.

I am an avid animal lover — We have 2 dogs (Shelby, Sapphire), a cat (Maverick — aka Mr. Mav), and chickens. The second half of the we in that statement is my hubby Justin (insert cat whistle here) 😀 Honestly though, he is way supportive and helps me through shoots if I need an extra hand. Plus, he is the muscle/craftsman of this dynamic duo!!

I was born and raised in Montana and even went to college here!! — We traveled across the state ALL the time and loved every minute of it. — I know your going to say “Jauna why didn’t you leave??” To be honest, I love to travel and have traveled across the world, but there is no place like home though. (Thanks Dorothy)

That is probably enough about me for now 🙂

I wanted to start this Blog to showcase those beautiful moments I love to capture along with the process that went on behind the scenes 😉

Welcome and Enjoy! 🙂
