Lyza and Josie were such fun models for their photoshoot.  We kind of planned it on a whim and they both ended up with the same dress which was really cute.  Dolly and Gus were troopers putting up with these two crazy little girls but it was totally worth it to get some fun pictures […]

I was excited to get to photograph this gorgeous dress from Utah Rentals.  Danielle and Chexy were down to be models and we had a gorgeous afternoon with amazing views at Ellendale Farm Wedding Venue! Here are a few of my favorites from her session!

Hadley turning 5 is crazy because I remember when she was born and it just seems like yesterday! She is a cowgirl through and through and loves to ride all the time. Here are a few previews from her 5 year old birthday pictures!

I wanted to do a fun cowgirl photoshoot so we wrangled Josie and Lyza together and used my best friends amazing mare (who tolerated them so well) to do a fun photoshoot at sunset.  We maybe only took pictures for like 30 minutes but it always seems like so much longer wrangling kids and horses […]

Every year I always look forward to the ideas that Crystal and Jessie come up with.  They are always so cute and western.  This year they came up with the idea of putting the bed up on top of the hill at sunset and it was perfect! Jessie’s dad dressed up as a cowboy Santa […]

It’s always a blast getting to shoot with Danielle.  She is always down for whatever crazy ideas I want to shoot.   While we were getting ready to shoot Toyie and her mom Deberah pulled up to ride a horse and I was like hey do you want to model and she was like YES.  So […]

Big family sessions are some of my favorite! I love meeting all the kids and parents from all over the country.   Christie and her family came and met up over Thanksgiving in Banner Elk and wanted to do a few family pictures while we were there.  The weather in the mountains can shift in an […]

I was so excited when this sweet family reached out to do a family session while they were in town for Thanksgiving.  They were all in town staying in Banner Elk.  We found a beautiful location up in Banner Elk at the Overlook Barn and it couldn’t have been a more perfect fall day. All […]

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 […]

Toyie is the sweetest person and I was so excited about her equine photoshoot with her sweet mare.  They had just recently lost one of her other horses so this photoshoot was special.  This was Toyie’s first photoshoot but she was a rockstar! A lot of people also don’t know but she also races dirt bikes.  […]

 Frankie came to stay the weekend and I was so excited because he is always so much fun and has a huge personality. He has become such a good model recently. I called Reid and I was like we totally need to do a photoshoot while he is here so she came over and we did a […]

Abby was heading off to Kentucky for a barrel race she was chosen to enter with her two amazing thoroughbreds.  It was a big deal to be chosen, and it was such a cool honor to spend the afternoon with her sweet boys. These two thoroughbreds definitely are full of personality.  There wasn’t a moment where they […]

Christine was home from Spain where she is a teacher.  She followed her dream of teaching overseas and it is so cool to watch her living out her dreams.  While she was home for the summer, she wanted me to come out and take a few pictures of her and her sweet horse, Frosty. She […]

Brooklyn and her sweet mustang, Mack, were a dream to work with.  When I got to the barn her and her mom welcomed me with open arms and Mack was a ham.  I was so excited to meet them in person because we had only chatted online and they were both just as sweet in […]

So I always have a ton of ideas running through my head and one of them is to do a behind the scenes at a photoshoot with me.  So Kayla was amazing to volunteer to by my first subject and my cousin came along and filmed some behind the scenes.  It’s still a work in […]

Laura came out to the farm for an equine photoshoot! She is such a cool soul and totally down for anything.  We laughed a lot and put up with my dumbo horse, who was being a little buddy sour, but at the end of the day he did fine and everything came out amazing!  

Hannah is an amazing musician from the mountains of North Carolina. I had this crazy cool idea of combining a musician with horses. Which luckily, she loves horses as well so it worked out perfectly! My vision was a cowgirl sitting out in a field with her guitar like no one was around her and […]

The second photoshoot with the dress from Ohlala Dress Rentals was Alex.  Alex has gorgeous horses and is always down for all of my crazy ideas.  We did the photoshoot at her house because it is on top of a mountain, and the sunsets are absolutely amazing! I couldn’t get over how amazing the sunset […]
