Default Looking for an awesome photog in the Yellowstone area

We are planning a family vacation for next summer to Yellowstone and while we are out there I wanted to get a photographer to shoot us for a few hours in the park. Anyone know of who's work I should look at in that area?

There are a lot of photographers in Jackson, WY. I would take a look at their websites. Cody, WY would be a second choice.

I could be there...
I'll even do it for free (you just pay the airfare, lodging, and expenses to include bar tab).

I'm not a "people photographer", but I'll definitely get a great image of you being mauled by a bear should the occasion arise... I could also do some really nice "location shots" as long as you are willing to pose nicely (in an easily cloned out part of the scene).

A google search turned up a few that appear to look good in Bozeman, Montana.

Same here. Love it out there. We went a few years back and camped throughout the park. Best trip ever.

I'll check out some of those photogs.

Went to Yellowstone this past June and stayed in Bozeman. The trip from Bozeman to the North Gate is over one hour, so if you hire a photog, be prepared to pay for milage.

I can beat sk66's bid. No bar tab required as I don't drink. That would save you several hundred dollars right there.

If you go to Bozeman, on Main Street in the middle of downtown is Tarentino's. Best Pizza I've ever eaten.

If you pay my airfare and lodgings.......

Then you'd be crazy.. You cold rent a local photog for less.. But if you did pay for me, you'd get a happy smiling Englishman who'd be very happy to see you and take as many photos as you want..

But by then I expect Steve will have his D4.. How can I compete with that??
