About us

Two Colorado natives, two landscapes, one studio.

Beth and Mason grew up on opposite sides of the state: the southwestern mountains and the high prairie. That contrast shapes the photographs we make and the way we work with people.

The name

“Prairie fire” is a common name for Indian paintbrush, a wildflower that does well in harsh, open country. We like beauty that shows up in hard terrain: wild landscapes, built structures, and the quiet places between them.
