Carson Family Farm Session I have known Kendall since elementary school and we worked together for a little time.  Watching her become a mom was so cool and her little boy is so sweet! Kendall wanted to have family pictures taken before her and her husband move to Alaska for two years.  She loves to […]

Farm Session I first met Sarah in a Facebook Group for Christian women.  Her sister-in-law runs the group “A Story for His Glory”, where she shares about her journey with adoption and living a Christian lifestyle.  She wanted to connect some local people by doing a snail male exchange and I got paired up with […]

Why I don’t do mini sessions… I know this is a hot topic in the photography world.  But **MIC DROP** I don’t do mini sessions.  They are very popular and a lot of photographers do them around the holidays and special occasions, but I don’t. I’m not knocking them in anyway nor the photographers that […]

Cleveland Rodeo 2019 The Cleveland Rodeo is hosted by the Livengoods in Cleveland North Carolina once a year around the middle of June.  This year was the 6th year that I have been shooting this rodeo.  It is one of the funnest, family friendly rodeos that we have in our area.  The cowboys and cowgirls […]

Equine Session Emily was so excited about her equine session.  She has some gorgeous horses and beautiful farm and I couldn’t wait to get to her place and start shooting.  They have a barn on their property that is over 100 years old that her grandparents have restored.  They now use it for small weddings, […]

  Whoever walks with the wise becomes wise, but the companion of fools will suffer harm. Proverbs 13:20 +You become wise by doing life with the wise +Wisdom is contagious. Wisdom rubs off +Walk with = do life with +Wise people understand that life is connected and they live/act accordingly. Today’s decisions are connected to […]

Farm Session I have known the Barns family for several years and have had the chance to watch their daughter Bailey grow up.  When she was younger she was kind of interested in horses but never to a love to it like Amy has.  It wasn’t until last year when Bailey got her first horse […]

One Month Old How has time flown by so much.  It feels like you are only one week old not one month old.  Post pregnancy the recovery was pretty hard.  A c-section is painful to recover from because the doctor tells you not to lift more than ten pounds but my child was 9lbs and […]

The Beyond Barriers Rodeo was started as a way to raise money for Chet Kidd who was in a farming accident a little over a year ago.  He has made leaps and bounds over the past year and all the proceeds from the rodeo are going towards his recovery.  Everyone in the rodeo community came […]

Family Farm Bridal Session Gabby is one of the sweetest humans you will ever meet and I have been lucky enough to know her for several years.  When Gabby & Tate first got engaged I was so excited to do her bridals because I knew there would be cows and horses and that is right […]

After carrying Lyza for ten months I was more than ready to get her out.  As her due date got closer I was more and more excited and ready for her to make her appearance.  Then her due date came and went and each day I became more moody and miserable.  I was ready to […]

Saddle Leather Work Saddle repair is a long lost trade that has faded off and isn’t as popular as it used to be because horses are not our main source of travel.  People still ride for fun or competition so saddle repair is still needed to an extent but not like it once was.  Chris’s […]

Krista & Nacho Krista is the sweetest human and has the sweetest and coolest animals.  Bunny was so sweet and would just jump up and give you a hug everytime you bent down to pet her.  She just wanted to be loved.  Nacho is just there for the party and was interested in pictures as […]

Marlene & Nicholas Marlene is one of the sweetest humans you will ever meet.  She is in love with her horse, Nicholas, who she imported from Mexico.  He is such a ham.  Nicholas is the most laid back and easy going horse who loves the camera.  He was spot on and never missed a beat. […]

Janet & Nova I have known Janet for close to 8 years and I first met them when she moved down here and was needing a house sitter.  I went and interviewed for the job and got it.  At the time they had 2 horses and 2 minis and 2 dogs.  They had a cute […]

Farm Session I have been friends with Danette since we were 5 years old which puts us at being friends for almost 30 years (I’ll let you do the math). It’s hard to believe that Danette and Jody have almost been married for 2 years.  They are perfect for each other and always make photoshoots […]

Benefit Barrel Race Abby was in a life changing car wreck back in February of 2019.  Her friends came together and put on an amazing barrel race to help raise money for all of her medical expenses.  It was a fun afternoon of a lot of barrel racing and they ended up raising over $7,000 […]
