Our Easter Mini sessions are back! These are exciting sessions where I pick the set, bring in a number of props, and some goodies for the session 🙂

These sessions are shorter, with only a number of photos. Usually up to 6 people are allowed for these sessions. This month’s session is themed with bunnies and flowers for Easter pictures 🙂

I only have a number of spots available but I am looking at doing sessions in Great Falls, Helena, and Missoula!

Hurry and send me an email to reserve your spot today!

Tentative Dates:

Missoula – March 19th

Helena – March 26th

Great Falls – April 2nd

Personalized Cards

Did you know we offer personalized cards? When you schedule a portrait session or a mini session, I give the option for cards! I’ve designed everything from birth – senior announcements to birthday party – valentine’s – wedding invitations as well!

If you feel stressed out about getting your cards or announcements printed for any occasion, leave that to me. The design (approved by you of course!) and printing is done all in house and if needed, I can include envelopes!

This is just one more way we try to help you to get your pictures printed and in the hands of your loved ones!

5 Reasons Why You Should Choose Me For Your Next Session

jpalinphotography

Do you ever wonder how to choose a Photographer? There are so many different types, styles, and packages out there! Why should you choose JPalin Photography to capture your moments?

  1. I’m Fun! – Not to toot my own horn here but I’m kind of a blast 🙂 I will do just about anything to get a smile out of even the most stubborn model 😉 Along with me doing outrageous things to get a smile, my photos have that fun personality as well! I do like to give the standard poses but I like to have candid photos, walking, and fun activities to show your true personalities!
  2. “Fake” Photos – Since I try almost everything for the genuine smile, I don’t feel the need to super impose faces from other pictures together in order to get that “perfect” photo. I do color grade and crop to give the photos personality though!
  3. Your Photos are Your Photos! – What I mean by this is you’ll get just about every click I take. I do remove duplicate photos and photos that might not be great (blurry, someone is missing, etc.) but I try to give you everything I capture. The reason for this is some of those off hand shots are the best!
  4. Quickness – I try to have at the very least a highlight out to you within 24 hours – Trust me when I say I understand the anticipation of getting those lovely photos back! The rest of the photos (depending on the package) I can usually turn around within 1-3 weeks. I do enjoy looking over each photo and making sure it is the best quality for you!
  5. A Special Gift – I don’t normally advertise this, but I send a special gift once I’m done with your session 🙂 I’m a huge advocate of printing your photos and displaying them, so I’ll let you guess the gift I give!

All in all, I think we’ll have a pretty great time with any session you book with me! I love capturing these moments and giving you special memories for years to come! If you have any questions or want to inquire about a session – Just send me a message and we can chat 🙂

Drone Videography

Did you know we provide drone footage? This is a very unique way to capture some great footage!

Drone footage provides a bird’s eye view of your event. Whether you have a big area to cover or are just looking to get a top/down view of your venue, the drone footage can do it all! For wedding videography, this type of footage is used to enhance your video experience and just give you another vantage of all the festivities.

There are some rules we have to follow though with drone footage, so we might not be able to provide it in all cases. The first case is if the weather is bad. Bad weather doesn’t make for smooth and clear footage. Secondly, if you are in a no fly zone. There are certain rules and regulations we have to follow with our drone, and for everyone’s safety we cannot fly next to airports or in no fly zones!

All in all, drone footage provides a cinematic footage for your event needs! It provides an aerial, unique, and bird’s eye view for you to enjoy for years to come!

Mini Session or Regular Session??

jpalinphotography

You may ask what is the difference between a Mini Session and a Regular Session. Well you’re in luck today! Let’s walk through the differences between the two so you can make the best choice in capturing your moments!

Mini Sessions

Mini sessions are a themed photo session that is shorter in length and are usually around 20 mins with a limited number of photographs (5-10). I choose the location and provide a set with props for the mini sessions. These sessions are only once (maybe twice….) a month and have limited spots available.

Regular Sessions

The regular sessions are typically around 60-120 minutes, depending on the type of session. The location is typically chosen by you and if you have a special place, but if there isn’t a place you have in mind, I can help! In my typical sessions, you’ll receive 100-200 pictures in black and white and color graded, all on a flash drive with a print release for you to use the photographs as you need.

It’s always a good idea to follow my Facebook or Instagram page for updates on upcoming mini sessions and availability for regular sessions!
