This time I switched things up a little bit and brought in Frankie to be the horse model and he was a ham […]

So I’ve always thought it would be so cool to go to Fort Worth, Texas because I had never been.  The only part of Texas I have ever been to was Amarillo, but Fort Worth has always been high on my bucket list. Reid, my cousin and my friend Stephanie were down to go on […]

The first photoshoot was with Reid up on top […]

 Like I say every year, the Cleveland Rodeo is one of my favorite rodeos of the entire year! Unfortunately due to covid, they didn’t get to have the 2020 rodeo. So this rodeo was definitely something everyone was looking forward to. The Livengoods know how to put on a show and keep the crowd entertained.  […]

Another round of Beth Dutton Water Trough Sessions is in the books.  These are always so much fun and each girl brings her own style.  From bringing their own horses and dogs it makes it so much fun to see each girl personalize it. Here are a few pictures from this round of sessions!

Planning styled shoots with other photographers is SO much fun.  It allows so much creativity and we get to bounce ideas off of each other.  Every time I shoot with other photographers I always learn something new and it opens up way more cool shots that I might have not thought about. I had recently […]
