HML Signature Portrait Sessions
September 20, 2026 | Missoula, MT
Each time I return to Montana, I look forward to the opportunity to photograph some of the remarkable dogs who come from the Hidden Meadows Livestock program.
These dogs possess an extraordinary blend of intelligence, athleticism, and heart — qualities that make them exceptional companions and unforgettable subjects in front of the camera.
This September, I will be offering HML Signature Portrait Sessions, a limited portrait opportunity created especially for dogs bred by Hidden Meadows Livestock and the dogs who share their homes (these special sessions are not available to the general public).
These sessions are designed to capture the personality, presence, and spirit that make each dog unique. Held at a carefully selected outdoor location in the Missoula area, the experience will be relaxed, guided, and focused on allowing each dog’s natural character to shine.
Because this is a special portrait day, sessions will be shorter than my Signature Experiences and offered at special pricing created exclusively for the HML community.

The HML Dogs Calendar
As part of this special portrait day, I will be creating a 2027 calendar celebrating the dogs of Hidden Meadows Livestock.
Portraits created during the HML Signature Portrait Sessions will be considered for inclusion in this calendar, which will feature a selection of the beautiful HML dogs photographed during this event.
The calendar will be made available to HML families and others who admire these incredible dogs, creating a lasting celebration of the program and the dogs who are part of it.
My hope is that this becomes a meaningful tradition — documenting the dogs of Hidden Meadows Livestock each year and celebrating the community that surrounds them.
Participation in the portrait sessions does not guarantee calendar placement, but every dog photographed will be eligible for consideration.
