It’s the crackle of the loudspeaker as the first rider is announced, the dust rising in the golden light, the low rumble of hooves, the flash of color as the gate swings open. It’s the audible silent sound of the crowd leaning in, the adrenaline in the air so thick you can feel it in your chest.
But it’s not just the rush of the ride. It’s the quiet pride before the season begins—the tightening of cinches, the boots lined up by the door, the early morning light spilling over the pasture while you get everything ready. The anticipation of what’s ahead and the tradition you’re carrying on with every ride, every rope, every eight-second hold.
I’m there for all of it—the dust, the motion, the nerves, the glory—capturing not just what it looks like, but what it feels like. So years from now, when you look back, you can still hear the cheers, smell the dirt, feel the grit, and remember exactly what this season meant to you.

Rodeo Participant Photo Package
There are sports photos, there are back-to-school photos… and then there are rodeo photos. But not the kind taken in the middle of the arena chaos—these are different.
This session is a chance to slow things down. To capture you and your horse(s) in your own element, before rodeo season races by. From finding the best light and locations to documenting the bond between rider and horse, every detail is carefully planned so your rodeo story is told in a way that feels authentic, personal, and meaningful.
I have three options to fit every family's size and budget. From just one rider for a couple of hours, three riders for half a day, or a whole family package of up to five riders and a whole day session. Each package includes:
〰 Custom tailoring & planning
〰 A 6 month online gallery
〰 Unlimited downloads
〰 Print release
And More!!!

Rodeo & Western Event Photography
Every kick of dust, every cheer from the stands, every rider giving it their all — rodeos are packed with the kind of moments you never want to forget. My job is to be there for all of it, quietly documenting the ride so the memories last long after the arena lights go out.
When you bring me to your rodeo, I cover the entire event in an authentic, gritty, and artful way that tells the stories of each cowboy and cowgirl unlike you've seen before. Within a week, riders receive a link to a private online gallery where they can purchase their favorite images as high-quality digital downloads. For organizers, this means your event is professionally captured start to finish — and for participants, it means the memories live on long after the dust settles.
Whether it’s a small hometown rodeo or a full weekend event, I work with you to make sure the story of your rodeo is told in a way that feels authentic, timeless, and full of heart.
