I did a fun giveaway last year at the beginning of the year and Michelle won the giveaway. She wanted to do a photoshoot with her daughters Grace and Faith.   They brought all of their horses to the farm and all of their sweet dogs.  It was so good getting to meet them and all of their […]

Reggi Sistare is a barrel racer from South Carolina that travels and trains horses.  He was visiting Danielle’s barn to host a barrel racing clinic and I got to come for one of the days to take pictures.  He rode several different horses that day and it was so cool to see him working horses and […]

 I thought it would be fun to let social media design a photo session.  Danielle agreed to be the model and I gave Instagram the choice of Vintage Cowgirl or Modern Day Cowgirl and they chose Vintage.  I also let them pick the horse that they wanted us to use and they picker her blue roan, […]

I first met Laura when she came to a mini session that we held at the farm. She was so much fun to work with during the couple of sessions we’ve gotten to do together. When she asked me to do a session with her and Tyler, I was so excited! Laura and her family have a […]

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 first got to shoot Natalie back in 2014 with her first horse and we had a blast so getting to shoot her again 7 hears later was so cool. She has grown into a super sweet and hard working young lady.  She is still barrel racing so we got to do a shoot with […]

 I was so excited to meet Hannah for her senior pictures.  She brought her sweet horse to the farm and he is full of personality!  Meeting Hannah and her family you immediately felt like you’ve known them for a long time.  They were so welcoming and so much fun to hang out with during the […]

This was the second year that I have gotten to do Kyle and Taylor’s anniversary pictures. Every year on their anniversary they get their pictures taken as part of their gift to each other. I think it is the coolest thing, and I’m so honored that they have chosen me twice. This year they wanted […]

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.  […]

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 […]

I love all things cowgirl and horses.  It’s so much fun to watch girls dress up and have fun pictures made with their horses.  Sydney was a sport because I had this fun idea of a cowgirl and her horse but with a guitar as well.  She came out to the farm to model for […]

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 […]
