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.

Under Montana’s wide-open night sky, the Northern Lights unfurled in a rare wash of emerald, rose, and deep blue. The pines stood like quiet witnesses as the aurora shifted and breathed above them — a living, moving veil of color. Captured just outside Helena, this moment reflects the magic that happens when the wild decides to put on a show of its own. A reminder that even in stillness, the sky can dance.
