Anyone who knows the Merit Cattle Co. program knows how much emphasis they place on their females, they’ve built a herd of some of the absolute best in the business.

It was an honest privilege to draw this piece for them. Trying to do justice to a cow that represents that kind of quality was a fun challenge, right down to getting the -M- brand just right.

Huge thanks to the Merit crew for having me work on this!

When your sister gets married, being behind the lens is a whole different feeling.

We made the drive up to Beaverlodge, AB for Breanna and Spencer's wedding, and honestly, you just can't fake the way these two look at each other. The love between them is so clear and effortless, it made capturing their day absolute magic.

A huge, heartfelt thank you to Whitney Longhurst with Long Run Media for making the trek up north with me. Having a close colleague and friend by my side to help shoot such an important family milestone meant more than I can say.

Breanna and Spencer, I love you guys so much. So honoured I got to capture this for you. 🤍

Big thanks to Jordan at Starstruck Livestock for having me out for the afternoon!

I’m still coming back to look at this shot. Seeing grass this insanely green in Central Alberta in mid-August is rare enough on its own, but pairing that with those heavy storm clouds rolling in made for some incredible light over the pasture.

Days like this behind the lens are hard to beat. 🖤

Sale picture day doesn't have to be a headache.

After spending plenty of time in picture pens over the years, I’ve found that a little prep before the camera even comes out makes a world of difference for both the cattle and the crew.

Swiped through a few quick things to keep in mind for this fall, from timeline planning for catalogue deadlines to keeping the pen crew right where it needs to be.

Got any picture day tricks that work well on your operation? Drop them below!

I really enjoyed getting to work on this logo for MLT Land & Cattle.

They wanted a classic look built around a cow-calf pair with their "MLT" brand, and it came together really nice. Appreciate the MLT crew for having me do this for them!

I’ve had a lot of fun branding projects on my desk lately, so I'm only taking on a limited number of logo design clients for the rest of the season. If you've been thinking about getting a logo put together for your herd or business, send a message anytime and we can chat about options.

Having a blast capturing all the incredible moments and hard work today!

Be sure to take a look through Ringside. There are some very good articles and all sorts of programs and businesses that are advertising in this online publication.

Tia pours her heart into this publication and is genuinely a good person! Check out page 67 to see my advertisement and be sure to give Seven D Media a follow if you don't already. 🖤

By far one of the most emotional issues as we recap the 10th Anniversary of the Cody Sibbald Legacy Classic, celebrate Evan Cuthbertson’s WHL signing, and are reminded to by Maddie Caldwell and hear the story behind Will Winter’s 2020 NWSS speech.
