Day 2 of the photoshoot was just as much fun as Day 1. Day 2 started at the small town of Love Valley.  It’s a small western town that only allows horses on the streets and no cars.  It’s super cute and we thought it would be fun to add some cowgirl flair.  We had […]

I love getting to spend time on the Derrer Farm.  They have some of the most beautiful horses on their farm. The Derrer Family competes all over the country with their team of horses, a hitched team of 6.  It takes the entire family to make everything work.   This year they were champions, and wanted to […]

I haven’t been to see the farm where my grandfather grew up in about 20 years.  As most of you know, my grandfather and I were super close.  The last few years of his life we spent riding horses each weekend and he would tell me stories of his life growing up on the farm […]

Angela’s neighbor that let us use his farm to do a photoshoot at sunset did a little photoshoot as well.  He is a cowboy who has worked that land his entire life.  We did some with his sweet horse, who he raised from a colt on his farm, and captured him in his element. He […]

Photographing the Morrison family is always so much fun.  They are always so sweet and the kids are an absolute blast. They make you feel like you are a part of their family! It was the middle of July, and a little warm, but we made it work in the shade. We had some gorgeous […]

The Bowman family has a beautiful place down on the lake where we did their family pictures at.  It’s been in their family for over 3 generations, so it was the perfect place to take their pictures. The Bowman family was so much fun and we had a blast shooting their session!

I’ve known Garrett since he was a wee lad.  He is my best friends nephew so I’ve basically watched him grow up and I can’t believe that he is already a senior. For his senior pictures we went out to his family farm.  We started way up on the mountain and ended in a huge […]

I feel like I’ve gotten to know this family over the last year.  You won’t meet a sweeter family than this one.  Each of the girls is hard working, funny, and loves to have fun.  They were all down to do whatever weird prompt I would give them.  We laughed a lot. Then we got […]

Whenever I get to photograph the Galiher family you know it is going to be a blast! Hattie and Willow are always up to something.  They are 100% farm kids and aren’t afraid to get dirty.  They love horses, cows, and swimming in the creek. We had to do some with their cute little Bumpy because […]

Ellie was literally a rockstar during her senior pictures here on the farm.  We planned several outfits that she brought and several outfits from the client closet.  I loved seeing her personality shine in all of them.
