Fall in Jackson Hole has a way of wrapping everything in gold—a fleeting brilliance that mirrors the passage of time. It was the perfect season for the Brackett sisters’ senior portrait session, a gift orchestrated by their father, Frank, who wanted to mark his youngest child’s milestone year with something truly special.

Montana and Danene, best friends since they were five, are the kind of sisters who move as though tethered by an invisible thread—easy laughter, shared glances, and the warmth of a lifetime of inside jokes. Seniors from Oklahoma, they traveled to Jackson Hole with their family to capture a moment that was as much about their bond as it was about Montana’s turn in the spotlight. Frank, a proud father with a soft spot for Montana—or “Monkey,” as he still calls her for her toddler days spent climbing anything in sight—reached out to me with a clear vision: something timeless, artful, and deeply personal.

We spent the late afternoon at String Lake and Schwabacher Landing, the grandeur of the Tetons towering behind us like benevolent guardians. The water reflected the golden aspens; Montana and Danene, both elegant and lighthearted, moved effortlessly through it all. What struck me most was Frank’s quiet joy—watching his youngest shine, his family whole in this small, perfect moment.

Why Printed Art Matters

Frank understood something many of us forget… photos deserve to live beyond a screen. The Bracketts invested in two custom portrait boxes, each filled with matted prints that will be passed down for generations. These aren’t just photographs—they’re tangible pieces of a story, a chapter forever preserved. In a world of fleeting moments, the Bracketts chose to hold on—and isn’t that, in the end, what matters most?

What really matters is each other.

As your children grow and become who they are meant to be,  you'll want to remember who they were along the way.
