Then & Now: Branding photo

Photographer Karen Miller had fun recreating this branding photo with four young South Dakota cowgirls at the May 6, 2011 branding at Danny and Larinda Price’s ranch near Faith, SD.

Originally when the photo was snapped four years ago, all of the girls attended Maurine School, a rural school with 16 students, located near Faith, SD. Presently, three of the girls attend school in Faith, while Mikenzy Miller attends Opal School, which presently has nine students, Karen reported.
