(Myself and Nugget, the adorable Golden Retriever.)
The name is Stark, Tim Stark.
I am a 21-year-old photographer based in the beautiful Flathead Valley of North-West Montana. It's great to meet you! I do people photos - families, seniors, weddings, engagements ... and more!
More than anything, I love capturing PEOPLE in my photos. Real moments with raw emotion that transform into beautiful memories.
From as young an age as I can remember, I wanted to take pictures on Mom and Dad's little digital 2006 "family camera". I always loved how photographers had a super power to make people look their best. These photos were so much more than objects hung on a wall, but rather, heart-swelling memories that illuminated the love of dear family and friends. I longed to capture these moments!
As the dream began to flourish and money began to be saved, I purchased my first point-and-shoot camera at 11 years old. I took pictures like a madman, dreamed, and saved more money. At 13, I bought my first DSLR camera and scored a job as a photo editor for a local professional photographer.
The rest is history. I practiced, learned, spent days and nights editing, and slowly kept upgrading cameras.

Here's your chance to get to know me a little bit!
- #1 hype-man, goofball - that's me! Energy, laughs and smiles is what I will happily serve you any day.
- I LOVE the water! I spend the 9 cold months out of the Montana year dreaming of when I can once again jump in the lake every day.
- I have a deep affection for Chipotle, most Mexican food, or any food that is all-natural and allergen-friendly.

- Hiking, camping and adventuring in God's creation is simply "where it's at", my friends!
- I have a deep love for my church, my church family, and Bible camp ministry.
- In most capacities, there's a good chance you will catch me playing music, singin' a tune, or groovin' to my favorite tune!
Here are the random facts that you really (don't) need to know:
