We have a small farm stand where we display and sell our most recent creations - coffee, leather, baked goods, knitted creations, photography, etc. Leather crafts and photography can be ordered online.

Born and raised in Idaho we respect the land and the freedoms we have here. One of my favorite quotes is a Native American Proverb "We do not inherit the earth from our ancestors, we borrow it from our children." We seek Elohiym for guidance and how to be good stewards of all the blessings He has placed in our care and know that what imprint we leave on the land will last beyond our time here on earth.

My passion for photography developed when I was a child. My summers were spent camping in the vast parts of North Central Idaho. And at 10, I asked for my first camera. With it being film, I had to pay for the film to be developed. In high school, I purchased a SLR. I recall packing that with me everywhere. My focus was photojournalist and landscapes. That shifted when I photographed my first engagement session. The shoot was so fun that I branched and added portraits. The first wedding I photographed was with a film camera. I switched to my first DSLR following that experience. My favorite photo sessions, are by far lifestyle shoots. They are private and intimate. I get to spend a few hours with a family, capturing their life and the everyday moments that makes their family unique.

I'm a lover of light - I'm a natural, ambient, and flash photographer. I believe we create life and moments in the midst of all, even if it seems chaotic. Life happens and continues. I love weddings and seeing the day unfold in photos and a series of moments. I love babies and all their new beginnings, their first moments. I love people being themselves and capturing that essence in their special life moments in a precious photo memory, whatever the moment entails. I thoroughly enjoy it and my contribution to it.

So enjoy some of my favorite things like chocolate, fresh baked bread, and your life as you scan some of my photos.

Peace and Blessings,

Did someone say coffee!?! Okay, you are either passionate about coffee or you are not. I was not passionate about coffee! I became a coffee roaster by accident! Yep! Years ago, I was tested food intolerances. Well, after I found out what the culprit was, I cut it out. Following that, I was studying a list of foods that had been tested and noted coffee on the list. At this point in my life, coffee was my fuel! Our girls were little and I was up late and mornings always came early. So my answer was coffee. The list of tested foods revealed the coffee that we were consuming actually had my intolerance. Stopped! Cold turkey! And ordered the coffee that was tested and clean. It was a coffee from Burman Coffee and at the time $3.99lb. Wahoo, I ordered 5 pounds! In my fast pace of doing things, I shared my find with a friend. A couple days later, she asked me "are you going to start roasting coffee?" What, no! I responded... "Well, the beans you ordered are green! So how are you going to brew your coffee?" she asked a very valid question. Well, sure enough those beans were green. I went to the University of YouTube and figured out how to roast coffee. Thankfully, I had just purchased a new stovetop whirly popper from the thrift store the week prior. The suggested amount to roast was 12oz. I thought I ruined the first batch. However, it was the best coffee I had ever had... now I am passionate about my coffee. I've roasted coffee with whirly popper, air popper, in the oven, over fire in a cast iron, and with a small batch roaster. My favorite is with the whirly popper!

Blessings,
