Lovell, Wyoming

A portrait photographer who knows the Big Horn Basin.

I'm Chris Harrison, and Wyoming Nomad Photography is my portrait studio without walls. I'm based in Lovell, and I photograph seniors, families, couples, newborns, individuals and pets all across the Big Horn Basin. That includes Cowley, Byron, Powell, Cody, Greybull, Basin and Worland, plus trips into northern Wyoming and southern Montana.

Our corner of Wyoming is the best backdrop I know. Bighorn Canyon, Porcupine Falls, the Bighorn Mountains, quiet ranch roads and old small town brick. I've spent decades learning where the light lands in every season, so your session happens in the right place at the right minute.

Sessions start at $150. The Mini Session is perfect for a quick update or a single look. The Standard Portrait Session gives you an hour, two locations and outfit changes, which is what most senior portraits and family photos need. Every session includes edited photos on a flash drive and a private online gallery where you can order prints from a professional lab.

I also sell fine art prints of my Wyoming and travel landscapes, from Bighorn Canyon under the northern lights to wild mustangs at golden hour. Have questions? The FAQ covers the basics, and I reply to every message within two days.
