Lacey (Lucky Lacey) had
commissioned me to take
a Retro portrait for her
boyfriend who was being
deployed to Afghanistan.
She had wanted to do something " Western."
The owners of bella
boutique, Mary and
Claire, in Hamilton,
MT, commissioned me to
photograph them for a
benefit about vintage that
they were sponsoring.
