So I had this random idea for a photoshoot with a gas pump and a horse.  I just thought it would be cool out in the middle of a field.  I have so many random ideas if I don’t do them they will drive me crazy until I get it out of my head. Luckily […]

The Spainhour family is one of my favorite families! I grew up with Megan riding horses, and I swear, they have the best kids. Mattie is like a little sister, and one of the coolest teenagers you will ever meet! They brought their 85 feet long horse trailer, (just kidding it’s a joke, but it really […]

I think this is like the 8th or 9th year I’ve gotten to photograph the Cleveland Rodeo.  It is hands down one of the best rodeos.  They do an amazing job of bringing a lot of the community into the rodeo and of course all of the cowboys and cowgirls are so professional! Here are […]

This was the second year that I have gotten to photograph the roping finals at Livengood Arena. It is always so much fun. The Livengoods always put on a good event, and I love getting able to capture all of these talented rodeo competitors. Here are a few of the action pictures from the Roping Finals.
