Summer Glacier National Park Senior Pictures

We took Olive’s senior pictures in June, when the road in Glacier National Park wasn't open yet, which made access to certain areas limited. However, Lake McDonald is a fantastic spot since it’s accessible year-round. Despite the overcast weather, which added a moody vibe to the images, we were able to capture beautiful shots amidst the vibrant summer foliage. Glacier remains a stunning location for senior photos, offering opportunities to highlight nature's beauty, even in the busier summer season.
