For the month of March, CDPhotog had his monthly photography competition.  This month we had to use a wide angle lens and capture some kind of action without zooming in but getting up close and personal with the action.  It was a little scary being 8 months pregnant and having Jessie spin super fast circles […]

AQHA Amateur Heading World Champion MJ Razor Wire was the AQHA Amateur Heading World Champion in 2018.  This was a title that Rodney had been working for, for many years.  It has been a lot of long nights, traveling, and riding on days where you don’t feel like saddling up. It has been good days […]

LLF Rider 2018 End of Season Samantha Collins started her year out in North Carolina wanting to do cutting horse shows and ended up on a barrel horse ranch in Colorado. Throughout the year she faced a lot of trials and hard times and wasn’t really sure how she would end up.  From an injured […]

Jaidyn finished out the year strong! She has grown so much over the past year in her barrel racing and goals. She finished her High School Rodeo Year second place in the Jr. Division. This was a big deal for her because it was her first year running on Poo and she was running against […]

Born to Ride Hadley’s first birthday came so fast it was hard to believe she was turning one. Jessie is one of my long time best friends and seeing her become a mom for the first time was one of the coolest things I have ever gotten to see! Jessie always dreamed of having a […]

Barrel Racing Bride A few weeks ago there was an image of a barrel racing bride going around facebook.  I saw the image and instantly wanted to do a version of that.  I made a post on facebook looking for someone who would be crazy enough to do it and April was the first one […]

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 […]

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 […]

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 […]

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 […]

Equine Session Amanda is one of the sweetest people you will ever meet.  She loves barrel racing and horses.  We connected a few years back through mutual friends and I was so excited to jump at the chance to photograph her and all of her gorgeous horses! Amanda’s farm is tucked away off of a […]

This season Samantha had big plans to compete in the cutting arena but life throws you plans and sometimes you have to reset your goals and start over.  She’s still riding and setting goals and has some new ones on the horizon.  Check out her video below to see what she has been up to […]

Jaidyn Galliher is one of the LLF Riders I chose to work with this season.  She has set some major goals and you can see her first video here. I wanted to do an mid season interview with the LLF Riders and a behind the scenes at their events so you could see even more […]

Travis & Paige are a special couple. Back in November Travis was involved in a head on collision and was lucky to be alive after he was airlifted out of the crash.  The following is what Paige sent me right after he was in his wreck: On Thursday, November 16, on his way to work […]
