I have followed Mary Beth from Carolina Gypsy Photography on social media for awhile.  I thought it would be a blast to meet up with her in person and grab some lunch and take some headshots of each other.  She lives about an hour away from me so we met up in Wilkesboro which is about […]

A few times a year I love to work with other photographers and take head shots for each other.  Since we have to post on social media so much it is nice to not have head shots that are 10 years old. Mabyn had come out to the farm for her family session so she […]

I was so excited to attend the Black Lick Cattle Company’s annual cattle sale up in Rural Retreat Virginia.  I met Sarah about a year ago and we have become good friends.  She is also an amazing photographer to and we love getting together for shoots.  Here are a few pictures from our visit!

I got to a chance to shoot the Livestock Show for the Caldwell County 4-H and it was something I had never done.  I learned so much and I learned that these kids have a lot of grit and they work their bootys off getting ready to show.  There is so much that goes on […]

I know as a photographer I’m supposed to get in front of the camera but it’s not one of my favorite things to do.  But I don’t want Lyza growing up wondering why I was never in any of the pictures so I try really hard to get in on the pictures with her as […]

Gates of the Rockies During the pandemic I had to postpone my trip to Montana but I was finally excited when I got to head west for a few days to see all of my good friends out west.  While I was there I got to see some amazing sunsets and do some amazing photo […]

Graduation Pictures When Stephanie told me she was going to be in town and she wanted to do some graduation pictures I was totally down for it.  Stephanie was one of my best friends in high school and we have only seen each other a few times since then after she moved away at the […]

Hart General Store When I first saw this amazing new ice cream shop that opened up in Lenoir I knew I had to go and visit.  The barn has been fully restored with an ice cream bar, an old country store with glass bottle drinks, and a ton of different animals you can watch while […]

The finals for the Cleveland Breakaway and Tie-Down Ropings Final was a blast.  It was a hot day but there was a ton of awesome cowboys and cowgirls! Check out some of the cool shots from the finals.  

Mountain Biking Back when the pandemic hit and being cooped up at home for several weeks I was going stir crazy.  A good friend of mine and neighbor loves to mountain bike and has built a small course in her back woods.  So I was like lets go grab some fun shots of you riding […]

My friend Sarah from Sarah Elizabeth Photography invited us up to her farm for the day so we snapped a few pictures of Lyza for her 1st birthday pictures.  It was on top of a mountain at sunset with an old saddle and an old cowboy hat.  It was the perfect setting for some cowgirl […]

Carolina Classic Team Roping In Taylorsville we don’t have a lot of big things but when a three day roping comes to town its fun to go and take pictures.  I love shooting events when I get a chance.  It’s something different and lets me stretch my creative muscle from time to time. Here are […]

Head Shots Being a photographer it is on a rare occasion that I step in front of the camera.  I can make everyone feel comfortable, give them fun prompts, and get that genine laugh.  When I step in front of the camera it feels like a three legged dog walking across a frozen lake.  It […]

 

Fall Roadtrip through Yellowstone Back in September I flew out to Billings Montana to shoot a wedding for my dear friend Mary.  If you don’t know Mary she is one of the top rodeo photographers in the world and her work is AMAZING.  To call her a friend, I always feel so lucky.  Her daughter […]

Mentor Session Ashely is a sweet soul and loves the western lifestyle.  She just started getting into photography and purchased her first camera back in the fall.  Our first mentor session she came and helped out at a photoshoot and and we had a blast! We connected instantly and it was so easy to work […]

Hunting Lifestyle Session During the winter as a photographer you get restless.  It’s a slower time and it is a time that we work on the back end of our business, up date our website, and get our taxes ready for the year end.  Sometimes I get strange ideas of shoots that I want to […]
