I escaped our snowy Montana mountain-top for a few days last week to attend the fabulous Nichole Van‘s {life as art} photography workshop in Salt Lake City! Salt Lake City is truly beautiful and CLEAN, with stunning architecture. Even the venue at the Commander’s House at historic Ft. Douglas was incredible complete with hardwood floors,...
