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 rented the most gorgeous dress from Utah dress rentals and Sam was amazing enough to model for me.  Sam came by on her lunch break between working chicken houses.  She is so bad ass.   We did a fun quick session around the farm, in the shade, because it was like 1000 degrees in July.  We […]

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 […]

Day 2 of the photoshoot was just as much fun as Day 1. Day 2 started at the small town of Love Valley.  It’s a small western town that only allows horses on the streets and no cars.  It’s super cute and we thought it would be fun to add some cowgirl flair.  We had […]
