Doug and Stana are a dream team! They are very professional yet so easy to work with. Our family was in Big Sky to celebrate our 50th anniversary and they made a potentially exasperating situation into a fun and pleasant experience. They had a real eye for picking complimentary backgrounds for the various group pictures and they also captured some cute and candid ones.

We used Doug and Stana on two occasions for senior photos. They are warm, kind, funny and instantly relaxed our boys. They do not take stock photos, but rather asked many questions about each boy and chose locations and poses that completely captured their individual personalities. You know you've chosen the right photographer when your son is adamantly against a photo session, and returned relaxed and happy with lots of funny stories.

Being the subject in a photo session can be tiring, but they turn it into a quick, easy, lighthearted session. Doug is very talented and creative and we were thrilled with his artistry. Stana is very warm, organized, responsive and is an instant friend to all. We are thrilled with the photos of our boys, and are very happy we used Doug and Stana to capture this big moment in their lives. It was a fabulous experience.

I want to scream from the mountain tops how wonderful the process has been from start to finish with Doug and Stana. We travel from Michigan once a year to Montana. My daughter is a senior this year and we decided to find a photographer in MT for her senior pics. I looked through Google to find a local photographer. Looking at their reviews and scanning through their work, I decided to reach out and inquire more. Stana called me to discuss in more detail.

It sounds weird, but the connection we had over the phone had me feeling like I had known her a long time. I knew we were going to be in good hands. The communication from the moment I booked the session and beyond the session has been amazing. Customer service is hard to come by anymore and this team is certainly not lacking! They made my daughter feel very comfortable and the pictures turned out beautiful! You will not be disappointed.

Stana and Doug are just phenomenal at what they do. They have wonderful talent, an eye for settings and magical images, terrific personality and supportiveness, as well as compassionate flexibility to make sure everything is just right. Our family was thrilled to work with them and feel like anyone would be lucky to have the chance to do so.

Doug and Stana are an amazing photography team that capture the best parts of life! Doug first did our family photos a long time back when I was a kid, he had has stand in the middle of a river which I thought was crazy but they are some of the best pictures! Ever since, Doug has done many other sessions with our family and he just did my fiance and I's engagement pictures!

There is no one else I could have dreamed of to capture these special moments! If you give Doug an idea, he will run with it and make your session and your photos better than you ever expected. Stana is very bubbly, amazing with the behind the scene details, and always prompt in communication. Doug then works his magic in any setting and you end up with amazing photos to treasure for a lifetime!

We used the wonderful Loneman couple when we visited BIg Sky in July. Our family of 4 wanted cherished family photos with the beautiful landscape of Montana. They knew the area well and met us at a location (they were willing and accommodating!).we have teenage sons and they had a blast - which says alot about the photographers! I would without a doubt use them again! Their personalities are stellar!

My daughter looked through dozens of photographer's websites to find someone for her senior pictures and nothing grabbed her. Until she came to Loneman Photography. We were both drawn in by Doug's photos, not just for the beautiful images but how he captured the life and energy of each person. And Stana was so helpful in the time leading up to picture day.

She was kind, detail oriented, and so patient with all of our questions. Jessminda had never posed for photos before so I wondered how she would respond, and Doug was amazing! He was warm and listened to her ideas and preferences. I could see her start to relax, smile, and have fun. When we got the proofs back, we couldn't believe how many incredible photos Doug got of Jessminda, it was difficult to decide. Stana was so generous and worked with us to help narrow down the photos and offer suggestions on packages and albums.

The final prints and albums were STUNNING! They were so much more than we had expected for senior pictures. The photos captured Jessminda and she shined. And most importantly, when she saw the photos she said, "I love them. They look like me." Thank you Doug and Stana!

We had an incredible experience with Doug and Stana, from the first contact through the (amazing!) finished product. Stana is organized, personable, and professional and always responded quickly to any questions or changing circumstances. On the day of the shoot, they arrived promptly, worked quickly and efficiently, and made it all so enjoyable! Best of all, the photos we got are all so beautiful-a mix of posed and casual shots that perfectly capture everyone in our family. They are worth every (modestly priced) dollar, and the experience and results were unforgettable!

We couldn't be happier with Loneman Photography! Doug and Stana are so kind, so good at what they do, captured the most precious family pictures that I will treasure forever, beyond helpful to me figuring out dimensions/layout, so quick to respond, and just a blessing! We will continue to use them for years to come! I highly recommend Loneman Photography. You will not be disappointed! Thank you Doug and Stana for all your help! I couldn't be happier with our canvas wall that makes me smile everyday! See you soon!

I can't imagine a world without my family and friends. I can't imagine a home without Doug's photographs here and there reminding me of all that is good in my life. With a quick click of the shutter Doug finds the true self of a person, and do I dare say the best self of us all. I am thankful for his gift as a photographer, and that he is a true artist with a camera. He captures the soul in a moment of time that can be kept for eternity in an image. Thank you Doug and Stana for all the beauty your work brings to my world.

Doug Loneman is a gifted artist. He shares his talents with his clients in the most kind and modest way. He works magic with the camera lens as he puts everyone at ease. We had a family photo shoot with Doug and his wonderful partner Stana in Big Sky Montana. They scouted out the perfect location and made it fun for a family with three teenagers! That's a miracle in itself. Doug and Stana were completely focused on making this a positive experience for us all.

The photos came out more beautiful than we had ever imagined. Doug captured our kids' personalities, no more than that, he captured their mischievous and playful spirits in his shots. He worked wonders with light and angles. Thank you Doug for giving us a beautiful collection of photos to treasure forever!

Photography is a beautiful art and a photographer, such Doug Loneman is a true artist. Loneman Photography not only captures smiles but Souls! Your photos tell a story which even million words won't be able to express this beautifully. Thank you for always capturing the special moments of my life so artistically.

Loneman Photography does absolutely beautiful work. I have used them for both commercial and personal photography and the result has been works of art. Doug was even able to photograph my notoriously shy cat, Tigger. Doug and Stana are a pleasure to work with. Doug is probably the best professional photographer in the Valley.

I really can't say enough good things about Doug and Stana. I was referred to Loneman photography from a trusted friend and have, in turn, referred several friends. I always get "the" picture when I book a shoot with Doug. He always tries to capture the personality of the person and the story behind it all. The picture I have of my daughter in her baptismal gown is my favorite picture of her. Thanks Doug!
