  It’s been said that you have to have a very good reason for everything that you do. What is the reason behind what you do? If you don’t have one, that’s ok- you WILL find it- even if you don’t know what it is yet. For Denton and I, we love that every time […]

  Montana does this thing where it gets really cold. And snowy. It gets really cold and snowy and lasts for MONTHS. I’m talking 8 or 9 months. That’s the amount of time it takes to make a human! Last year in March, I’m pretty sure a lot of us still had snow on the […]

It is amazing the difference that a couple of years can bring! Last time we had the chance to photograph this family was a couple years ago when they were a sweet family of four- and now they have grown by two into an amazing family of 6! A fun part of this was also […]

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. […]

Yet, how many times do we see write ups, documentaries or newspaper articles talking about the unsung heroes that teachers […]

Have you ever had one of those moments when you are doing something and you realize, years ago when you were a younger version of yourself, you could only imagineyourself being where you are now? I have those occasionally, and this headshot session was one of them. It’s on my introduction page, my “Why.” My first […]

Someone told me years ago that, as you move on in life, you meet new friends, and the old friends that you have had fade away. You forget about them, you lose touch and you move on. She said that as I got older and met new people, the ones I had known in the […]

Ok, so technically we are in the northeast corner, but still. Our family just moved to our small town of Wolf Point over the summer. They moved here from Billings, Montana which really is centrally located, but at the edge of the Rocky Mountain Front, the wind there was terrible! We lived there in Billings for […]

We are all familiar with those words, right? If you have gotten married, went to a wedding, or watched any number of movies on the silver screen, most likely you have heard them and know exactly what they mean. However, not everyone has experienced the true reality of those words. Dan & Nicole, along with […]
