I grew up in a rural town in upstate New York. I am a great granddaughter to a cattle rancher so agriculture is in my blood!
In the summers as a teenager I would visit Montana with my best friend. We spent our days riding cow ponies bareback across the prairie and swimming in the river that ran through their property on the east side of the Belt Mountains.
When I would return to New York I filled the rest of my time riding and showing horses but always dreaming of moving back to Montana. After I graduated high school I worked for a few years on various horse farms before I decided to take the leap and make the move!

that I would become a photographer. I was in love with every medium of art I could get my hands on. After I moved to Montana, I decided to go to college for photography. The hours would pass unknowingly in the dark room developing and printing my film images. It was there that my passion took hold and it developed as I traveled Montana, photographing its land and people. 

After I graduated, I slowly built my business while raising my kids on a ranch in Central Montana. I discovered that my favorite subjects were the people and their connection to each other, the land and their animals. I learned that ranching and building a business in a small town was hard work. Making lasting connections with the people I photographed was easy and probably the most rewarding. 

I have always had a love for the inner workings of the human psyche and heart. That love has helped me develop the insight to know how each persons heart wants to be seen. If you ask me, there is beauty and genuine love in every moment. One snapshot has the ability to capture that.
