The stories i tell 

Prairie Horse Sunset Session

Cassie and Ben, with their two majestic horses, JW and Mack, standing tall against the backdrop of a picturesque prairie overlooking a valley at sunset. The scene is like something out of a fairytale, with the golden hues of the setting sun casting a warm glow over the land and the gentle breeze whispering through the tall grasses. It's a moment frozen in time, captured forever by the lens of a skilled photographer.

As the photographer, I am constantly amazed by the beauty and magic that surrounds us in the Western lifestyle. The bond between Cassie and Ben and their horses is palpable, a true reflection of the love and connection they share. Through my lens, I strive to capture not just images, but emotions, moments, and memories that will last a lifetime.

The Western lifestyle is rich with tradition, authenticity, and a deep respect for the land and its inhabitants. It's a way of life that cherishes simplicity, natural beauty, and the unbreakable bond between humans and animals. When I photograph Western weddings, ranch weddings, farm weddings, horse engagement sessions, or Western engagements, I am not just documenting an event – I am capturing a piece of history, a story that speaks to the heart and soul of those who live and breathe the Western lifestyle.

Just like Cassie and Ben with their horses at sunset, each photo I take tells a unique and unforgettable story. Through the lens of my camera, I seek to convey the raw emotions, the unspoken words, and the timeless beauty of the Western lifestyle. Every image is a work of art, a testament to the enduring love and connection that binds us to the land, to each other, and to the animals that share our world.

So, the next time you find yourself gazing at a photograph taken in the heart of the Western lifestyle, remember the stories, the moments, and the emotions that lie behind the lens. And know that the photographer who captured that image did so with a deep appreciation for the beauty, the magic, and the timeless appeal of the Western way of life.

What other types of sessions do I offer?

In the world of working ranches, horses are more than just companions—they’re essential partners. My photography showcases these remarkable animals in their element, whether they're navigating rugged terrain, assisting in cattle management, or exhibiting their impressive skills during a long day on the range. Each image reflects the strength, agility, and unwavering dedication of these incredible equine partners.

Branding is a cornerstone of ranch tradition, a blend of heritage and hard work that deserves to be captured in its full, gritty splendor. I document every moment of this significant event, from the anticipation and preparation to the intense action and camaraderie. My goal is to immortalize the essence of the branding process with a keen eye for detail and authenticity, ensuring every frame tells a compelling story of ranch history.
