Fall Senior Photos in Bigfork, Montana | Tyler Venegas

Introduction

I absolutely loved capturing Tyler Venegas’ fall senior picture session in Bigfork, Montana. The stunning autumn colors provided the perfect backdrop as we explored various locations around town. Tyler was eager to incorporate his passions into the shoot, bringing along his guitar and beloved dog for some truly personal touches. We shot near Flathead Lake, nestled among the trees with his guitar, and in the vibrant downtown area of Bigfork, creating a diverse collection of images that reflect his unique spirit and interests.

The North Shore

We started at The North Shore in Bigfork, where we captured some great shots of Tyler walking along the shoreline and on the boardwalk with his dog. The images turned out beautifully, especially with the stunning fall colors in the background. It was a private residence that provided the perfect backdrop for this segment of his session.

Overlook Off the Swan River Highway

Next, we headed to an overlook off the Swan River Highway that offered a stunning view of Flathead Lake. This spot was perfect for capturing Tyler playing his guitar on a bench nestled among the trees. The natural setting complemented his passion for music, creating a relaxed and authentic vibe in the photos.

This vibrant area is a great place to showcase the town he grew up in, allowing us to create more unique and visually interesting pictures. The blend of urban scenery and Tyler's laid-back vibe made for some fantastic images.

Fall Senior Pictures Outfit Inspo

Tyler loves to dress in a western style, and he stayed true to that for his senior pictures. He rocked some really cool western shirts, paired with a big belt buckle and, of course, a classic pair of cowboy boots. If you know Tyler, you know he often sports a hat, so we made sure to capture some shots with him wearing one at each location. His outfit choices not only reflected his personality but also added an authentic touch to the overall aesthetic of the session.

His Dog

Tyler’s dog was another important part of his life that we included in the session. Having his furry friend alongside him added a layer of warmth and connection to the photos.
