https://discovershareinspire.com/2024/05/9n0lbkj I love candid portraits.  Something unposed, casual, honest.  Sure, traditional portraiture is an enjoyable method to practice as well, but capturing those hidden moments just seems so much more fun.

https://domainebregeon.com/jd3h7uoc8 Thanks Ian. As you can imagine, Jake was not too keen of having his picture taken at this moment… but he was trooper.

click I’d be very interested in collaborating on some projects with you (sent you an email). I will hopefully be making at the very least a few trips up to Montana per year while I am living outside the state.

I enjoyed checking out Detonation’s website – Chrome Chasers makes me want to visit Alaska even more!
