This winter was an odd winter here in the northern part of the state. We had a forty degree day in December, and a fifty degree day in January. Then, February hit, and it felt like the whole winter had stored up to pack it into twenty eight loooooong days. Anyway, in the midst of […]

Living in northeast Montana, do you feel like it is dry here?   Admittedly, we live in a fairly arid, dry climate- yet, sometimes I feel like Montana weather conspires against me. 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.

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 […]

We spent the summer in the Amazon. Not the greatest time to go to an equatorial jungle, but we had a great time! The humid air was great for my skin, but my curly hair spent three months insisting it needed to be free to express itself in how it could be twice the size […]

I came out west when I was eighteen years old. I was in search of a new start, new chances, and ultimately, a better me. I grew up in a small town, and I enjoyed it- but I knew there were bigger things out there, new experiences and exciting changes ahead. Now, I have been […]

… Our 2018 senior season is over. I read an article recently that mentioned that this 2018 graduating class is the last class of seniors that will have even been alive during 9/11. Take a moment for that to sink in. Last generation to have even. been. alive. during 9/11. For the 2019 class, it […]

A few posts ago, I mentioned that I had been busy. We all feel that way, right? Well, I think this 2018 senior has a foot up on all of us! I may miss something here, but here is a bit of what he’s been up to this year… He’s on the Honor Band and […]

One thing we all know about here in Northeastern Montana is the wind, right? I loved working with Lindsey because she managed to deal with the wind and still look classy and elegant regardless! Lindsey is a busy girl with a big heart. Even as a young person, has an interest in spiritual things and […]
