Lynn Donaldson

Lynn is a fourth-generation Central Montana farm girl raised on the land her great-grandparents homesteaded. She grew up road tripping throughout Montana with her parents and now shoots and writes about food & travel for Sunset, Travel + Leisure, National Geographic Traveler, Via, as well as many Montana publications. From Hutterite kitchens and Rocky Mountain Oyster feeds to Farmers Markets and Flathead cherry stands, Lynn's favorite subject is back road Montana food and fun, and she documents it at a near-obsessive pace. She has photographed two cookbooks: Open Range, by Jay Bentley & Patrick Dillon, and Gatherings: Recipes and Friends from Montana’s Mustang Kitchen by Carole Sullivan. Lynn lives in the Shields Valley, outside Livingston, with her husband Dan Vermillion and their three children, but she still considers her family's Denton farm home.
