Working with other artists is something, no matter the medium, that lights me up. I love to feed off their energy and be inspired in the moment by their craft. I photographed local musician @scottpembertonmusic this past June. Check it 👉🏻

#myownmuseloop is our monthly self portrait loop, where we become our own subjects for 12 months. And in that time, may we get to know ourselves better and share a piece of that with you!

The most common question I get asked is, “How do

The most common question I get asked is, “How do you find these places?” Honestly, it’s a crap shoot. Depending on our route between our nightly stops, I usually search google for offbeat things to see between the two cities. I then look up each location as to where they are along the route, check them out on Instagram (for current photos) and we see if it’s worth a little detour. Most of the places we find aren’t secrets, they just aren’t popular or known spots which is why I love them. They’d lose their charm if there were tourists and ‘influencers’ everywhere. We drive down long dirt roads often with no signs or service and honestly we just hope for the best. It’s like our very own treasure hunt on the road. This one was one of my favorite surprises.

Metropolis, Nevada. #ghosttown #youthfuldecay

How it became a ghost town: ‘In the 1930s, Metropolis was ravaged by plagues straight out of the Book of Exodus. First, jackrabbits arrived and devoured the crops. Next was typhoid—sanitation on the remote flats was not as advanced as it is today. That was followed by a wholesale invasion of millions of Mormon crickets, Nevada’s unofficial state pest. Then came a devastating fire, which burned down the town’s hotel in 1936.’ - Nevada Magazine

Watching and waiting in silence for the fawns to e

Watching and waiting in silence for the fawns to emerge for their evening meal with their mamas. I already miss these quiet, slow, lazy evenings where bedtimes always included watching the sunset.

This was taken at an @airbnb farm stay. The owner brought us fresh eggs, let the kids meet the chicks in the barn, sent us on an awesome hike within their property, allowed the kids to spend copious amounts of time fawning over their horses and alerted us to the deer families that had babies in these fields. It was a truly special experience and definitely one of our favorite memories from our trip across the country. #sonykids
