Hold On to Each-other | Newlywed Session | Hyalite Canyon, MT

“When I say I love you more, I don’t mean I love you more than you love me. I mean I love you more than the bad days ahead of us, I love you more than any fight we will ever have. I love you more than the distance between us, I love you more than any obstacle that could try and come between us. I love you the most.”  – author unknown

When planning this session with these two amazing newlyweds, their one request was outdoors. Bozeman, Montana isn’t an area I have frequented, so I turned to friends for ideas, and almost all of them said “Hyalite Canyon”.  I looked it up online, and I knew, this was the spot. Thankfully, Alexius and Gage agreed!

We arrived just in time for the sun to start going down, and these two were willing to chase the light all throughout the Hyalite Canyon – we even played in the river a bit, and pulled off on the side of Hyalite Road and ran into the woods where the sun beams were kissing the ground. Oh, and let’s not forget standing in the marsh land spots near Hyalite Reservoir.

Thanks for an amazing adventure, you two! I definitely have a new favorite spot in Bozeman!

Skip the chaos and the mall crowds—our Santa Sessions are designed for something better.

These 25-minute experiences give your family unhurried time with Santa in a calm, cozy setting. No lines, no rush, no awkward stage smiles—just space for real conversation, giggles, and wonder. Whether your kids want to show Santa their wish list, tell stories, check the nice list, or just soak up the magic, this is your chance to make it personal. We can even create magic storybook photos together!

It’s the kind of Santa experience you’ll actually enjoy—and the kind your kids will remember.

Each session includes a minimum of 25 digital images, a personalized gift for each child from Santa, and a letter from Santa delivered in your gallery. You will also be able to take family photos with and without Santa included.
