The wildflowers disappeared and the fields dried out in August as they always do here at Sky Ranch. So, I’ve been waiting. Waiting for the spectacular show of color in the aspen trees and spirea bushes along the road that leads us home. The last time I photographed this beautiful family, there were just 2...
Does your home have a staircase? If so, what is decorating the walls? If you answered “nothing”, then you are missing a fabulous opportunity! I can’t even begin to tell you how many homes I have entered where there is nothing decorating the staircase walls! I am pleased to say that I have had clients...
“And thank you for a house full of people I love. Amen.” ~ Terri Guillemets I photograph quite a few family reunions each summer anywhere from Bozeman to Big Sky, from Livingston to Yellowstone. I always start out with group shots, and then I like to break it down into individual family shots, shots of...
I love family reunions! I love big families! These two gorgeous sisters, Linda and Judy and their children and their respective families came together recently from as far as Atlanta, Baltimore and Jacksonville, Florida for Linda’s birthday and a summertime reunion at a fabulous rental home in Bridger Canyon. The group of 22 including eight...
Nothing like a few setbacks to make a Grand Opening celebration all the sweeter! I had originally intended on a Spring opening…you know…just before the busy season. Yes, that would have been perfect. But God had other plans. As if 400% snowfall at 6,100 ft. weren’t enough…I dropped everything for months (namely my business), when...

Love cements us together when everything else seems to be falling apart. Love believes in us. Love creates. Creates beautiful things. Like Miss Bailey Marie. Welcome to the world, sweet little...
Two sweet sisters and a charming set of triplet boys makes for a group of grandchildren a man can be proud of. Patriarch Brian scheduled a session with me earlier this summer knowing his son, Sean and his two girls, and his daughter-in-law, Michelle and her triplet boys would all be coming to visit from...
It was definitely a family affair when Michaela, her 4 yo daughter Teileigh, her sister Whitney and last but not least, her fiance Ryan arrived at Sky Ranch for their summer photo session! We met back in April at the boutique studio to discuss the photo shoot and I knew then it was going to...
How can it be that Tom and Teresa are the parents of teen girls?…they look like teenagers themselves, so very much in love, smooching one another with reckless abandon leaning against the old Dodge. This is the joy of what I do. Meeting people who value their love, their family and want to capture...
To be sure, there is never a dull moment when four sisters come together for a reunion from all over the country along with their families and their dad at third sister’s summertime Montana ranch. My pre-session tour with Monica was telling…a dozen inner tubes piled up outside the garage from that morning’s float trip, ...
