Landscapes of the Journey


 
Before I ever photographed pets or ranches, I was chasing light — across Montana backroads, lavender fields in Provence, and midnight skies lit by the Milky Way.

These landscapes come from wherever wonder finds me. Some are fierce and rugged. Others are quiet and dreamlike. All are pieces of the journey.



If one speaks to you, I’d be honored to turn it into your dream landscape wall art. All images are available for purchase — just reach out and we’ll bring the story of the land into your space.

Golden hour settles gently over Seeley Lake, illuminating the larch forest in its full autumn glory. Standing along the shoreline at The Lodge, the world felt hushed — the lake perfectly still, the trees glowing in radiant gold, and the evening light wrapping the valley in warmth. In peak larch bloom, the mountains breathe quiet beauty, and the water reflects every shimmering needle like a mirror to the season’s soul. This is Montana in its most tender moment — calm, golden, and deeply alive, where fall lingers just long enough to feel like a gift. A peaceful reminder that nature’s most extraordinary scenes often arrive softly, inviting us simply to pause and take them in.
