Fall Family Adventure Sessions - Great Falls, MT

• EXPLORE   • LAUGH   • MAKE MEMORIES

Not just a photo session - a family adventure you’ll want to remember

Life with kids goes by all too quickly, and sometimes we just want to press pause and capture some memories. Fall is the perfect time to do that! Gorgeous colors, crisp air, and your favorite people all together… what could be better?

Fall Adventure Sessions are relaxed, playful, and designed for families who want more time, a more relaxed pace than traditional mini sessions, and more photos to take home.

Your family can explore, play, laugh, and simply enjoy being together—while I capture the candid, authentic moments that make your family one of a kind. And of course, we’ll take time to get those beautiful family portraits with everyone looking at the camera, too!

  • "I couldn’t believe how beautiful our pictures by Valerie turned out! I was so nervous to have photos done with 4 littles that don’t always cooperate for the camera, but Valerie was so kind and patient and did an amazing job with them. So happy with our experience and with my family photos!!"

Hi there, I'm Valerie!

Valerie Smith is a Great Falls, MT photographer

I’m a photographer and mom of six, so I know firsthand how quickly life with kids goes by. I love giving families the chance to slow down, have some fun together, and just enjoy being with each other.

Whether we’re exploring, playing, or just taking in the view, I’ll provide gentle posing guidance when needed while giving you room to be yourselves.

My goal is to capture the little moments, the belly laughs, and all the things that make your family your family. So years from now, you can look back at these photos and remember more than what you looked like—you can remember what it felt like to be together.
