Oh my. Where do I even start?! This is a very special post to me. It involves part of what we did over the summer and why we were gone. Denton and I went to New York to volunteer at a bible education center in Wallkill, where bibles are printed. We were part of the […]

This was a wonderful family session that we got to do back in the spring. We had an extremely busy summer, and we had a wonderful time photographing some amazing people and places- I just wasn’t as focused and on the ball as I needed to be with keeping my online presence up to date. […]

“[His] expressions of affection are better than wine… my dear one is mine, and I am his.”   Marriage truly is one of the greatest gifts and most wonderful arrangements humans can enter into. To have that one person to lean on. To come home to, and yes, argue with on occasion, is the most […]

Do we get blowing, torrential downpours like the midwest? No. Do we get hurricanes, monsoons or tornadoes? Thankfully, no. Yet, it seems to […]

Did you know that your nostrils can actually freeze together when it’s below zero in Montana? Of course you did, you probably grew up in Montana and are familiar with that (not normal) phenomenon. Did you know that snow squeaks like crazy when you’re walking on it in below zero weather? Of course you did, […]

Have you ever had a moment? You know, the kind where it takes your breath away. For a brief instant of time, you feel as if you are in some kind of distorted reality- that years of time could not have passed, because it felt like you’ve only just begun. You look at what you’re […]

Fill in the blank! I’m pretty sure that anything you could answer would pretty much be right. Breathtakingly cold? Absolutely. -35 degrees below zero in December? Sure! Snow up to the roofs of houses? Why not? 45 above the week before Christmas… Really??? YES! I have to say, this is one of the WARMEST sessions […]
