 It is always fun getting to do a photoshoot with Danielle and Chexie.  I had a lot of new pieces in the client closet that I needed to get some pictures of and Danielle was down to model.  We had an overcast day so it was perfect to get some moody western fashion pictures.  We […]

Maria was a blast to work with and down for whatever.  We had a blast shooting at different parts of the farm.  We got really lucky and had an amazing sunset.  Gus was being a little feisty for an old man with the cold weather but hes always usually good for the most part. We […]

I was excited to do another photoshoot with Dolly.  She is so chilled and laid back and doesn’t care about to much.  She is an older Amish Belgian draft horse so she’s seen a lot of stuff in her life.  We are excited to have her on the farm! Here are a few previews from […]

When Rylan comes home from school it’s always fun to catch up doing a photoshoot.  The venue, Ellendale Farms, is stunning and has some of the most beautiful sunsets and we were so lucky to get the perfect sunset with such a cool cloud feature. Here are a few pictures from Rylan’s fun photoshoot!

So Zach Bryan’s new album came out and one of the songs on there was Something in the Orange.  If you’ve never listened to it you need to go and listen to it now! But that song inspired me to do a couples session based off of it.  I wanted gorgeous sunsets, tuck lights and […]

I love being able to work with other photographers, and help them on their journey in the photography world. I love seeing them thrive and learn something when they pick up their camera.  Stormi reached out about doing a live mentor session. I asked her what kind of session she had in mind so we could […]

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 […]
