Every year when I get to photograph Taylor & Kyle I know it’s going to be a blast.  They brought their dogs and their horses to the farm and they had the most magical sunset session with the mountains behind them. We always have a good laugh and enjoy hanging out with all of their animals. […]

I think this part of the trip was one of my favorite days.  We headed out from Cody, Wyoming over to Powell to see the wild mustangs at the Pryor Mountain Mustang Center.  There is a lower drive that you can take and sometimes you can see a band if they are moving.  Someone told […]

The Rafter T Pasture Barrel Race & Team Roping was a blast.  We may have gotten soaked for the team roping but it was totally worth it! The pasture barrel race was in a huge field with round bales.  It was huge and everyone was flying!   The team roping steers were going different directions but […]

Spartan was super special to Andrea.  We did a session with her and Spartan so she could remember his spunky personality and how much of a ham he is for the camera.  With old age it was time for him to go, but meeting him he sure was a free spirit. I love seeing the […]

 I had so much fun doing Teagan’s bridals.  She is as gorgeous inside as she is outside.  And absolutely stunning in front of the camera. Watching my little cousin (who is like a little sister) grow up and be a gorgeous bride was such a cool experience. The weather was perfect and we had an […]
