SAY GOODBYE TO STIFF, BORING SENIOR PHOTOS AND CHEESY POSES
SAY HELLO TO ARTISTIC, MOVEMENT-BASED PHOTOS THAT FEEL LIKE YOU
...AKA, PHOTOS YOU’LL ACTUALLY WANT TO SHARE
I’m not here to make you stand still in some awkward pose. I’m here to capture the real moments—when you’re doing something you love or just hanging out like you always do. Whether it’s the rush of wind during a hike, the quiet confidence of you lost in your sketchbook, or the joy of a perfect cup of coffee with your best friend, I’ll be there to capture it all in a way that’s true to you.
You deserve photos that you can’t wait to show off to your friends and grandma. You know, the ones that are both vibey and artistic, but also the headshots that have a timeless quality to them. Let’s create something that feels like you—authentic, effortless, and so much more than what you’ve seen before.
That’s what I’m here for.
Heyyy, I’m Shay!
I’m your NW Montana-based adventurous senior photographer, and I’m all about making your senior photos feel as you as possible. I get that this is a huge moment in your life, and your photos should reflect who you really are—not some stiff pose that doesn’t match your vibe.
A little about me: I’m obsessed with sports, the outdoors, and traveling, and I know how important it is to make your senior portraits feel real and true to who you are. Whether you want artsy, adventurous shots that’ll be perfect for the ‘gram or those classic, grandma-approved portraits, I’m here to deliver a gallery full of photos that feel like you.
Ready to create something fun, unique, and totally authentic?
I GET IT.
You might feel a little weird in front of the camera.
You might be scrolling through photographers and wondering what the heck all those packages even mean—and what’s actually included.
You might be torn between wanting artsy, vibey, movement-based photos that reflect you, but also feeling like you need a few “traditional” shots for the fam (because, let’s be real, grandma’s gotta have her headshots).
YOU DON’T HAVE TO COMPROMISE — Because I’ve got you.
HERE’S HOW ADVENTUROUS SENIOR PORTRAITS w/ MONTANA DIARIES GO DOWN…
We’re not planning a boring, posed photo shoot—we’re planning an experience. Something that represents your senior year. Whether it’s a hike through Glacier, your favorite spot in town, or an activity that captures your essence, we’ll turn it into a fun, unforgettable session.
You’ll get an online gallery full of authentic, vibey, fun images that capture who you are, all while keeping a few traditional shots for those “grandma-approved” portraits.

Why Seniors Trust Me
I don’t just show up, snap a few photos, and call it a day—I actually get to know you. I want to highlight what makes you unique, whether it’s your sense of humor, your passion for a sport, or your love of a specific spot in the Flathead Valley. I’m not here to be a “lame mom” with awkward poses and stiff smiles; I’m here to make sure your session feels relaxed, fun, and totally you.
From playing your favorite music to knowing your favorite memes, I make sure the session feels personal and real. We’re creating photos that tell your story, not just taking pictures. You’ll feel comfortable, have a blast, and end up with images that are as authentic and memorable as your senior year.
I’m here to guide you through the process, but I’m also there to make sure you have fun along the way—because your photos should feel just like you: unique, fresh, and 100% authentic.
Is This the Right Fit for You?
If you want senior photos that are fun, authentic, and completely you, we’re a perfect match. I focus on real moments, whether you're exploring Glacier, doing something you love, or just hanging out in your favorite spot—without the awkward poses or stiff shot lists.
But if you're looking for something super posed or overly traditional, I might not be the best fit—and that's totally fine!
I work best with seniors who want an experience that’s relaxed, personal, and reflective of their true selves. Ready to make your senior photos unique and unforgettable? Let’s do this!
