Photographing the Wild West
I chose a perfect day to be inside as the summer weather became windy and chilly. At high school rodeos the indoor arena is typically your timed events; barrels, poles and goat tying. It was a nice relaxing day chilling in my crazy creek catching the dirt flinging action. I staked my claim at third... Continue Reading →
Now, back to some rodeo action! The rodeo events were split between two arenas. So, one day I shot the outdoor and the next I shot the indoor. I started my weekend off outside with the nice weather and roping and roughstock action. It was fun to cruise around the arena and catch that high... Continue Reading →
In between rodeos over Labor Day weekend I got to capture a beautiful wedding in Bayfield, Co. I love the small weddings with the couple's close family and friends. It is even more special that I get to capture those moments for them. This gallery is worth checking out! This couple I have known since... Continue Reading →

Let's play catch up from the last half of my summer shall we?! This year we got to make a couple trips down to New Mexico to rodeo. It was a great opportunity packed with new friends and action but, the downside was the 105 degree weather and the 3 am finish time. Yep, you... Continue Reading →
As I was editing these photos the song, Forever and Ever, Amen by Randy Travis played in my head. This sweet couple was a dream to shoot. The summer sun with the lush green grass and beautiful horses made it a scene right out of a cowgirls dream. I have captured many moments for this... Continue Reading →
