I Bar Ranch

09/04/2026

What a summer it's been.

Barn shows that packed the place night after night, dance floors that never seemed to empty, and a lineup that had something for everyone, from honky-tonk to tribute sets to jam band.

Add in the sunsets over the Elk Range, the nights spent camping under the stars, and the friends made along the way, and this summer at the ranch was one for the books.

Here's to every show, every dance, and every one of you who made it what it was. Can't wait for more!

I had the absolute joy of photographing Bloom & Bounty with Janniebird Farm•Annie•Flower Farmer, and goodness, this evening was special.

One long table tucked alongside the flower fields, overflowing with locally grown blooms, vintage plates, peaches, incredible food, wine, cocktails, live music, and some very happy humans gathered around it all.

And then, because Colorado likes to keep us humble, the rain rolled in. 😂 Instead of ruining the evening, somehow it made it even better. Everyone cozied up, glasses kept clinking, the sun eventually peeked back through, and the whole thing felt like one big celebration of this little valley and the people who make it what it is.

One of my favorite parts of photographing events like this is getting to document all the little pieces people pour so much love into, from the food and flowers to the table settings, and then watching it all come alive once everyone gathers around the table. 🤍

So grateful I got to photograph this one.

Clear some space, because this is a dancing kind of night. Long grooves that build and stretch, the kind that keep your feet moving until the last note fades.

Golden hour hitting the barn, light spilling across a packed rail. Hands up, the front row singing every word. That's community at I Bar Ranch: strangers who became your people by the last song.

This is why we keep coming back.

The Wailers rolled into the I Bar Ranch last night - and so did the storm. ⚡️

Reggae rolling across the ranch, lightning flashing over the Gunnison Valley, and a crowd that wasn’t going anywhere.

The skies put on a show. The Wailers put on an even better one.

What. A. Night.

Thanks to everyone who came out, danced through it, and made it a night full of Love at the I Bar Ranch. 🌩️🎶

Huge thanks to The Wailers ™ and King David James
