Boy I sure do love a good portrait, in a barn, with natural light (and maybe a little extra). But most importantly is that I love a good subject in front of my lens. Are you a small private school who needs a school photographer? If so, I come with references.

Ranch Families are some of my favorite shoots to do.

Rain didn't deter this family from getting in some fall colors before they're gone! Oh yeah, and they had a PUPPY!

In a land, not to far away, is a bison refuge. Take your family there and drive the auto route. You're sure to see some epic animals, and if not, you're sure to see some epic views! This is located along Highway 212, just outside of Missolua.

It’s official the 2026 calendars have been ordered. I went with a new vendor this year to keep costs affordable. $25/calendar plus shipping. I’ll ship anywhere in the US! If you’re interested in mailing abroad, I can help too.

For those who have already reserved a calendar, I’ll reach out to you once they arrive. For those who are thinking about it, below are the images for 2026!

Thanks for supporting me and my photography ambition!

Off camera flash has been my tackle this year. Hunter allowed me to play around with some flash photography up on Schweitzer Mountain with his Senior Photos. When we play it's way more fun and doesn't feel like work!

It’s that time of year again where I decide not to do a calendar and then eventually do one anyway. This project has been the “thing” that motivates in photography. It's one of the reason I got into this art.

I’ll place an order in October for 2026 calendars and will likely only order those that preorder. The cost is ridiculous, and I’ve tried other vendors but the quality of the ones I’ve produced in the past years are unmatched compared to cheaper vendors. So, let me know if you want in on the preorder! I’ll get you costs as soon as i know how many I’m ordering.

Below is the cover shot, and Taylor Ailport and Colter Cates are your models. I mean really there are no better models out there (if you ask me)!

I had the absolute pleasure of photographing the Handley family again. After warming up to Remmi, he smiled at me before asking if we could go move pipe.

I am still working through images, but will share with you my initial uploaded images. Please check back for more. Hoping to have the rest up by the end of today (8/17)

Bonner County Sorting Photo collection by JAL Natural Light Photography

Get excited- I am working through images from the NWBHA and the Team Sorting events at the Bonner County Fair! Stay tuned for albums of images you can view here soon.

So lucky to get horse savvy kids for their senior photos. Makes it fun to try cool shots.
