Dauphin (I hear) is pronounced [daw-fin; French doh-fan] and is the eldest son of the king of France. Getting to photograph these two not so French princes was as memorable an experience as hearing their music is. We all drove out to Prairie Monarch Bison Ranch here in Laramie and all let out our dogs…
Local singer/songwriter, piano player, and acoustic guitarist Timothy John was under the spotlight recently for a few new promotional shots. I just love playing with lighting and the low key look so everything can be focused on the musician to showcase the textures, emotions, and expressions of their music.

When Amy and James asked me if I would be be their photographer for their Irish-American barefoot sunset wedding outside of Curt Gowdy State Park, Wyoming, my answer was yes before they could even tell me there was going to be a traditional Irish mead toast – with accompanying custom made wooden mead glasses.

The pass…
I woke up to about 6 inches of fresh snow in Laramie (!) and decided to go on a long walk with my dog along the creek in town as the powder was falling. I’ll leave you with this poem to express my morning. Fresh snow can be so beautiful if you can overcome the warmth of…
This photography may look like a nice pleasant sunset out on the plains of Laramie, Wyoming, but photographs don’t capture wind very well (at least not this one!). In Laramie, where the wind is always blowing, my walk across these plains just outside of town was through 40 mph winds that added a significant wind…
