Glacier National Park



Location Guide

We made it to the fun part—location planning! This exclusive guide includes images of my go-to Glacier National Park spots, with two photos of each location to help spark inspiration. These are places I regularly use with clients, and I’ve organized them by area within the park to keep things simple.

As you explore, keep in mind that some locations are best suited for certain times of day or seasons, and a few may not be ideal for young children due to safety concerns (think fast-moving water, steep ledges, etc.). My goal in sharing this with you is to get a sense of what you’re visually drawn to so I can factor it into your session/elopement—while also considering lighting, accessibility, crowds, and overall safety.

Protecting the Park : Leave No Trace


As we plan your session in Glacier, it’s important to talk about Leave No Trace—a set of principles that help protect the natural spaces we all love. These seven guidelines are all about enjoying the outdoors responsibly and minimizing our impact on the environment:

  1. Plan Ahead and Prepare
  2. Travel and Camp on Durable Surfaces
  3. Dispose of Waste Properly
  4. Leave What You Find
  5. Minimize Campfire Impacts
  6. Respect Wildlife
  7. Be Considerate of Other Visitors

(© 1999 by the Leave No Trace Center for Outdoor Ethics — www.LNT.org)


Before your photos with me, I’ll help you feel prepared to follow these principles—things like sticking to established trails, leaving natural objects as they are, packing out anything you bring in, and knowing what to do if we encounter wildlife.


By practicing Leave No Trace, we’re not just protecting Glacier for today—we’re helping ensure these stunning landscapes remain just as wild and beautiful for years to come. That way, whether you return for an anniversary shoot or just to visit, it’ll still feel as magical as the day you first came to visit.
