I had the distinct pleasure of meeting some members of the Ball family a couple of years ago when I did the elder daughter's senior photos right here in Whitefish while they were visiting the area.

The class of 2026 brought Hailey's turn for senior portraits, and I was so honored when her mom reached back out to me to see if I was available when they'd be swinging through the area over the summer. As it turned out I did have some availability—though spoiler alert I will always do everything in my power to make time for past clients—and we set up a plan to traipse around Whitefish while not simply hitting all the same locations we did with her sister.

Oh, she also brought her dog, which is never a bad time.
