Born in Wisconsin, Sally now lives on the farm she and her husband tend west of Irene, South Dakota, growing corn and soybeans. Having spent her childhood with horses and 4-H show cattle, she was taught to love the vistas of the mid-west by her veterinarian father. As a result, Sally has taken photos of the life and land around her, as she went from working for the USDA to raising five sons to nursing at the Avera Sacred Heart Hospital in Yankton. “I love to photograph the rolling prairies of the Dakotas,” she has written, “All that I capture is a gift from God.”
