To my friend Chuck Swisher cheers to you and to your amazing career. Have fun with Swisher Beef Co. You have always been someone with a smile on your face and a welcoming spirit. Everyone loves you and you always bring a smile to everyone. You know how to make people feel seen and heard. You been so supportive in my start up in this rodeo photography. As a photographer I’ve always strived to capture moments beyond the arena. So here are some of my favorite photos over the past two weeks in Oregon and California.

Cheers to one of my favorite rodeos. I have to say this rodeo has the perfect mixture of small feels and big time vibes. Coming on a 18 hour drive I was exhausted and excited to come to this rodeo. Little bitter sweet to see Chief Joseph Days Rodeo come to an end.

When I think of California rodeos one rodeo comes to mind. That would be California Rodeo Salinas
I have always wanted to shoot this rodeo and I have to say dreams come true. Couldn’t have asked for better weather and amazing hospitality. The kindness from director all the way to volunteers was amazing. 10/10 rodeo thank you for allowing me to be part of your community and team for the week.

Nothing like some California Rodeo California Rodeo Salinas some places you just walk in and go wow. This was one of those rodeos that’s always been on my list to photograph. Thank you for the warm hospitality and perfect weather! From directors to volunteers everyone had the Howdy attitude and it was so fun. Thank you! See you again!!!
