Fall Photography Montana

November 7, 2019 by Jason Savage 3 Comments

I’ve finally wrapped up a few of my fall trips here in Big Sky Country for September and October. Talk about a weird fall! Our September had some beautiful weather and fall colors were slowly coming in until we had a crazy arctic blast from the north putting things in a deep freeze throughout October. Unfortunately this took a lot of the fall color with it. We had a record breaking snowstorm the week after my September Glacier National Park trip that dropped up to four feet of snow in some areas of the state. Crazy!

So it’s been an interesting fall here in Montana to say the least. Despite the lack of color, we still managed to get some great stuff. One tree that was immune to the early freeze was the Larch and these were going full force during my Seeley-Swan Valley trip. Really breathtaking up there this year and even more so with some fresh snow.

All in all it’s been a great fall, now shifting gears and looking forward to some upcoming winter trips! Here’s a few from the last couple months in Montana.

2019 Montana Weekend Workshops

October 23, 2018 by Jason Savage Leave a Comment

2019 Montana Fall Weekend Workshops are now listed!

We had probably one of the best fall seasons I’ve seen in all the years I’ve been photographing Montana.  Colors were really popping in the western part of the state and we had some great opportunities on our trips.

Both of my Fall Weekend Workshops are located in western Montana, so if you want to visit Montana and don’t have the extra time to commit to a longer workshop, these trips are a great way to get a taste of the Montana landscape in fall.

Here are a few images from this year’s trips.

Here’s a few shots from Seeley-Swan Valley from this weekend. Fall is hanging around a little later than usual in some areas and there is still plenty of color. The Tamaracks(Larch) are at their peak and very nice. Rain has moved in and a low pressure system with cooler temps will bring some snow in tonight and tomorrow to the mountains. If you can get out around Montana by the middle of this week there should be some nice snow capped mountains for the remainder of fall photography.
