WHO IS DEAR JUNE?
Dear June is a photography studio owned by Kayla Beard, who is based in Teton Valley, Idaho. Our team photographs families visiting some of the most beautiful places in the country, including Grand Teton National Park, Jackson Hole, Yellowstone National Park, and Island Park, as well as local families, elopements, weddings, seniors, and brands. Our Lead Associate photographer in Dubois, Wyoming let us cover a wide area. Family sessions start at $1,300 and are photographed by Kayla and associates trained in Kayla's approach. Elopements start at $3,000, micro weddings at $5,500, and full weddings at $9,000, and Kayla personally leads each of those. She has lived in the area her entire life and has been photographing professionally in the Tetons since 2013.
LETS WORK TOGETHER
Wedding days. Growing families. Grandparents gathered with grandchildren. Seniors standing at the edge of what’s next. Brands with something real to say.
There’s a place for every story.
Whatever brought you to the Tetons,
there’s a place for it here.
-
From just the two of you on a mountainside to a full celebration with everyone you love — we've been there for all of it.
Elopements are intimate. A handful of people, a place that means something, two to three hours of pure presence.
Micro-weddings go a little further — more guests, getting ready coverage, more of the day held.
Full weddings are exactly that — venue, vendors, full day coverage, every moment of it kept.
Kayla leads every single celebration. A second photographer is available and often recommended for fuller days. We work directly with your planner and vendors, help structure your timeline, and show up prepared so the only thing on your mind is each other.

From the little years to the almost-grown ones, we photograph the connection, personality, and beautiful reality of your family exactly as it is right now.
-
Everyone together, and every relationship within it. Thoughtfully photographed gatherings, reunions, grandparents, grandchildren, and all the smaller family stories that make up the whole.
-
More than senior portraits. A deeply personal experience blending editorial imagery with candid, raw, and emotional moments to create photographs that feel elevated, honest, and unmistakably like them.
-
For the brands built on a person, a story, a real point of view.
You've built something worth showing. The problem is showing up consistently, strategically, and in a way that actually looks and feels like you.
That's where we come in.
Dear June's brand content team handles everything — strategy, scripting, shoot day, editing, and delivery. You show up. We handle the rest. Every asset built around your story, your voice, your audience.
Best suited for personal brands and businesses that want their marketing to feel like them — not like everyone else.
Content capture only, or full strategy and delivery. Scoped based on your unique needs.

Elopements & Weddings in Jackson Hole and Grand Teton National Park
Maybe it's just the two of you and an officiant in the shadows of the Tetons at sunset. Maybe it's forty people and a rustic barn. Either way, I'll help you pick the spot, plan the timing, and keep the day feeling easy.
Elopements start at $3,000 and micro weddings and full scale weddings are available.
Still pulling it together? I can point you to venues, planners, florists, and officiants I trust.

Dear June, Warm and loud and full. Sometimes messy. Sometimes hard. Always, always loved. Gone too fast.

The laughter, the chaos, the quiet in between.
All of it. Every bit of it. Ours.
