I never thought I’d say this, but “oh winter!…wherefore art thou?” After all, what is winter in Montana without snowballs, sledding and snowmen? Instead we’ve got record highs in Bozeman! Yep, 58 degrees yesterday! OK, so truth be told it has been nice, almost a luxury in fact having a break from last winter’s snowmaggedon,...
I don’t normally do commercial photography shoots, but when Sadie Mae called me in a relative panic in need of an image for her upcoming ad in Cowboys & Indians magazine with a submission deadline looming, I couldn’t resist saying yes simply because I just love her and her family (gutsy enough to smile through...
In this crazy, unpredictable world, one thing is certain. There is love. Love makes the world go round. Love accepts us as we are. 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...

As a child, our family frequented swap meets and stopped at antique stores and rummage sales every chance we got…treasure hunting. Today, it is the most worn and loved objects that...

On March 3rd, my husband survived a horrible accident. He was kicked in the face by one of our horses and God-willing, made in back to our home from the pasture where our barn sits.
