Lara traveled to American Forks, UT late fall to capture the newest National Parks visitors center to come to life, by the talented folks of Montana's A&E Design. The near-snowy condidtions made for mysterious, disappearing and reappearing overhanging mountains and lent a moody feel to the shoot.

On a return shoot to Spokane to capture the Conservation District's new digs which are seated at the base of a quarry, the sun was finally out post wild fire smoke and haze, and the buildings raw materials untreated corrugated steel and cedar really popped in the sunlight. Great project by Integrus Architecture!

This hybrid library, in collaboration with Spokane Public Library and Spokane Public Schools, lends space rather than hard books; meeting space, space for artist residencies, and gathering space. With a street presence to rival anything on the Las Vegas strip, this jointly designed project by Integrus and G4 is a huge boon to the neighborhood.

Another historic restoration & preservation project from the talented folks of A+E Design, the Missoula Fairgrounds buildings and grounds was a dream to shoot on a bluebird day in late September.
