Dixie Classic SRA Rodeo I was excited to tag along with my friend Heather from 555 Photography as she shot the Dixie Classic Fair SRA Rodeo in Winston Salem, NC.  We don’t get to see each other very often but she was going to be so close that I had to go hang out and […]

LLF Rider 2019 Abby is one of my new LLF Riders of 2019 and I could not be more excited for her journey.  A few weeks ago I put out a post on Facebook about looking for a few new riders to follow along on their journey for the 2019 season.  Abby reached out to […]

Shooting Rodeos has become one of my favorite things.  There is nothing like watching the talented cowboys and cowgirls compete.  Ranch Rodeos are a little different.  They are wild and unpredictable.  There are different kinds of events from Steer Riding, Wild Cow Milking to Ranch Bronc Riding.  Ranch Rodeo will keep you on your toes […]

Stepping out of your box is hard. It is scary and I just say that I don’t really want to do it.  One of my favorite sayings is if you are not uncomfortable you are not growing.  It makes a lot of sense. If you are in your comfort zone you are staying in one […]

Engagement Snow Session Destiny & Parks came to visit during the snow storm that we had.  After 18″ of snow and being snowed in for several days it was good to get out of the house. These two are getting married in May and are so cute together.  I have watched Destiny grow up into […]

Klasett Farm Session The Klasett Family came to the farm right after it snowed for some family snow pictures.  We got over 18 inches of snow and it hung around for over a week.  It started warming up, the roads were clear so it was the perfect time to have a few snow sessions at […]

Taylor Family The Taylor family is always one of my favorites to photograph.  Peyton, the little girl, is a spit fire and always keeps you entertained.  She is always laughing, doing crazy dances, or just being her goofy self.  It is always an honor to get to spend an afternoon with them! Each year for […]

Haberski Family The Haberski family is one of the sweetest families you will ever meet! I first met Sally when I met her sweet little palomino mare, Lauralyle.  Her little mare came from a local horse sale and is now teaching lessons and schooling over three feet courses.  She has a heart of gold and […]

McCurdy Family The McCurdy Family is so fun! The kids are crazy and are not scared to get dirty.  The entire time, Sarah, the mom was telling them to stay out of the creek, get out of the mud puddle, and to stay clean for a few minutes to get some pictures. The McCurdy kids […]

Morrison Farm Session I love when I get to shoot the Morrison Family.  They are so sweet and always up for whatever.  From the grandkids laughing to the jokes cracked by the adults, there is never a dull moment. I grew up with Jessie and I have known here since she was a wee lad. […]

Mabyn & Daniel Ya’ll I don’t know where to start with Mabyn but she is a rock star.  Mabyn & Daniel are the brilliant minds behind Mabyn Ludke Photography. Mabyn is an amazing wedding photographer and the co-leader with me in our Rising Tide Society group. For over the last year, Mabyn has been my […]

Black Sheep Brand This was my second shoot with Black Sheep Brand and every time we have a blast. The shirts that BSB offers are all so different but they all have a western theme.  This photoshoot we did in Statesville at a local friends barn and they were so kind to let us over […]

Black Sheep Brand The Black Sheep Brand is a brand new western t-shirt company based out of North Carolina. Bailey started the business with a dream of having super cool t-shirts with a western flare. This was the first time that I have had a chance to work with BSB and let me tell you […]

Kilcoyne Family After meeting the Kilcoyqne Family you will never be the same.  They are full of energy, laughter, and never ending energy.  It was so much fun getting to know them even more. I first met Michelle (mom) in the Rising Tide Society group. Her and her family have a cool company called The […]

Tasha Barbour Photography I first met Tasha through our local Rising Tide Society group. When I first met her she said she was raised on a farm with cows (in Ohio and she’s a huge Buckeye fan) and she loved Montana and I was like me to! We had so much in common that we […]

Paso Fino Equine Session When Savannah’s mom emailed me about setting up an equine session with her daughter I was stoked.  She started describing what Savannah had in mind and she wanted a fairy tail shoot.  Her dress and horses made this come true! Savannah rides Paso Finos and shows on a national level. She […]

Umm..I don’t even know where to start with these two.  They are funny, goofy, and crazy.  These two met working on a cutting horse farm five hours a part.  And both of their names are Cody! Cody (girl) was working in northern Oklahoma and they hauled down to Cody (boy) ranch where he was working […]

The first week of November I headed out West for yet another trip to see some beautiful country.  Along the way I got to stop in and see some of my awesome friends living their dreams. If you have been following along, Samantha is one of my LLF Riders this year and she is now […]
