Last summer I spent time driving around Montana searching for the best places to pick your own fruit. My search took me from the shores of Flathead Lake to fields of strawberries outside of Missoula. I learned that organic orchards often use sheep to clean up fallen fruit and that picking strawberries in the early […]
At the end of last year I spent some time writing and photographing a story about the Missoula Symphony Orchestra’s 60th anniversary for Montana Magazine. How could you not enjoy an assignment that sends you to music rehearsal and backstage during a performance? It’s definitely been a challenge writing and photographing stories simultaneously this past year. […]
It’s beautiful outside here in Missoula. It makes me think back to this beautiful garden outside San Francisco that I photographed as a part of an interior shoot. Can’t beat California sunshine — or a garden with a vineyard.
A while back I photographed chef Linton Hopkins for the folks over at Whole Foods. If you are in the Johns Creek, Georgia store you can check out one of my photos in the bread department. If I were you I’d grab some of this bread too — because it is pretty stinking delicious. […]
We woke up here in Missoula to softly falling snow. It’s the most we’ve had in a bit and it makes me wonder how much more snow there is up at Seeley Lake. A couple weeks ago we set out on a weekend adventure there with some good friends. The snow on the frozen lake […]
While we were on the road in the Flathead there were mornings where the mercury read -30. Ya’ll. That’s just wrong. Despite the frigid temps we took a quick self timer shot on Whitefish Lake. In all the running around shooting for other folks we are trying to make sure we make some photographs for […]
The end of the year is always a nice time to step back and look at what you’ve accomplished, what’s changed, and where you are going. 2013 was a year of huge changes from start to finish. Lido and I are now in a new city and both working full time for ourselves. This is […]
I am lucky to have clients like Tate Interiors who hire me to shoot their projects. This year they sent me to a photograph home here in Montana as well as a home in California. I am always amazed at the quality of work they do and these two projects were no exception. Even more […]
The last couple years I’ve been asked to photograph The Event at Rebecca Farm for the group that presents this world-class equestrian competition. It is normally at the height of summer and I feel lucky to spend the day in such a stunning location photographing horses and their riders. It’s beautiful every time. This year […]
“The chief beauty about time is that you cannot waste it in advance. The next year, the next day, the next hour are lying ready for you, as perfect, as unspoiled, as if you had never wasted or misapplied a single moment in all your life. You can turn over a new leaf every hour […]
I had the opportunity to shoot this stunning home for The New York Times “What You Get For … ” section. One of the most fun parts about shooting interiors is getting to explore the homes where other people make their lives. I always find it so interesting to see how other people live. This […]
This past fall I worked with encaustic artist Shawna Moore to shoot, edit and produce a series of instructional videos. It was a great project and I always have a wonderful time working with Shawna. You can see the 30 second promo below for her project or buy the finished long format lessons here. We […]
There is one thing Montana isn’t lacking in: amazing homes. Really Montana doesn’t want for much but I am consistently amazed how many beautiful homes are here. I photographed this condo for Tate Interiors here in Whitefish, Montana. It just seems like such a cozy place to cuddle up with a good book and some […]
I had the chance to photograph the interiors of this beautiful California home for Tate Interiors earlier this spring. It was really an incredible property and I had a great time soaking up all the beauty. You can see more of Tate Interiors projects over on their website. The main living area is on the […]
Earlier this year I did an inventory photo shoot for Tate Interiors. They always have such fun things to photograph and this time was no exception. They have all new inventory in at the shop if you are in the market for fun new things for your home. And I loved how the […]
I was thrilled to have a chance to meet Southern chef extraordinaire Linton Hopkins on a shoot for Whole Foods. The grocery store carries many local food producers thru their Farm to Market program. This image is being used in local Atlanta in-store signage to promote Holeman + Finch Bread Co. Many thanks to Kate […]
