My name is Valerie McIntyre and I have been a professional photographer for 39 years.

I won my first camera at 9 years old in a foot race in Illinois. Ever since then, I have loved photography. I have pursued excellence in photography by doing apprenticeships with professionals and attending numerous photography classes all over the country.

By 1986, I had opened and operated a successful studio, with work encompassing weddings, portraits, real estate and commercial photography.

In 1994, I moved my studio and home to a beautiful setting right here in the Flathead Valley and have operated my outdoor studio by word of mouth.  In addition to any setting of your choice, my private studio includes a beautiful garden, large weeping willows, 400 year old pine trees, a magical birch grove, pastoral horse pastures and a Rocky Mountain backdrop that makes this one of the most beautiful private outdoor photography studios in the region.

Come see what I have to offer you and your family for unique settings and beautiful portraits!

 



A recent addition to my studio is a beautiful indoor facility for unique indoor portraits.  My new indoor facility has a reception area, a large changing room/bathroom and a gorgeous porch which I have been using for lots of special portraits! It is a wonderful setting that faces the Swan Mountain range.

In October, 2007, I hired Annette Venteicher as my assistant. She has terrific design, organizational and customer service skills and is wonderful to work with. Annette has designed some creative sets that are fun for everyone and is working on lots more for the sping and summer. Together, we are devoted to creating a memorable photography experience as well as beautiful portraits for our clients.
