🌾 Clicks, Courage, and Change: The Story Behind the Lens

August 16, 2025

How It All Started

Welcome to the very first blog post of Range & River Photography! 🎉


I’ve been dreaming about this corner of the internet for a while—a place where I can share not just my images, but the stories, laughs, and sometimes the “oops” moments that happen along the way.

If you’ve ever wondered how someone finds themselves lying in the grass at sunrise trying to capture a prairie wildflower, or climbing a fence to chase the perfect Montana sunset, you’re in the right place. (Pro tip: always check for barbed wire first.)


For me, photography started as a way to hold onto fleeting moments. The way the light dances across the prairie, the laughter between friends during a family shoot, or the quiet courage in someone’s eyes when they’re stepping into a new chapter of life. Those little details—the real, raw, in-between bits—are where the magic happens.

This blog will be my space to:
✨ Share behind-the-scenes adventures (and misadventures).
✨ Offer tips and tricks for making the most of your own photos.
✨ Highlight the people and places that inspire me.
✨ And maybe just sprinkle in some sass and humor—because life’s too short for boring blog posts.


So grab your coffee (or wine—no judgment here), settle in, and join me on this journey where the range runs wild, the river runs steady, and the stories are always worth capturing.


Here’s to and cheers to courage, change, and a whole lot of clicks. 📸 🥂
