How about that handsome cowboy, good looking dun horse and those pretty red ladies? I know where this pic was taken! 😉🥰

Miss Cedar! Another of my 2025 seniors. Is this girl not stunning??! And let me assure you, she is as beautiful on the inside as she is on the outside. I may be a bit biased; she is one of my favorite nieces! But this young lady is so incredibly talented and I am in awe of her huge, kind heart and her love of God and family. I love that she brought all her favorites with to her session! Tana N JJ Hovde

Congratulations to 2025 Senior, Hauser! Thank you for asking me out to capture your senior images for you, kiddo! I met Hauser's mom, who happened to be my new neighbor when I first moved to Bismarck, the same year Hauser was born....(just a few years ago! 😉 )

😍 Blazin Pennys Fame 😍

Check out this gorgeous son of Blazin Jetolena! Axle is owned by Gorrell Ranch, Beach, ND. We sure have some fancy studs to choose from in our eastern Montana/western North Dakota area!

Thank you Kaitlyn for asking me out to capture these images of Axle! And thank you Clint for being so patient with us and helping us get him set up nice.

Axle's first colts are 2 year olds this year, and they sure are riding nice! Get in touch with Kaitlyn for more information on this handsome young stallion.

😍YOU GUYS!!!!!! 😍 Check out this COMPLETELY COOL senior shoot we did earlier this week!!! I AM LOVING IT!! ❤❤

Tatum is an extremely talented cowgirl that loves goat tying and roping. She wanted something "different" for her senior shoot. I think we got it! 😉

What do you think??! I am scrambling to get caught up on sessions and school pics and barrel racing events, but just HAD to go in and edit at least one of these shots. (They were calling to me from my SD card...)

Tatum - thank you so much for asking me to come down and do this shoot for you. What a joy to spend time with you and your family in your home arena snapping some action shots while you tied goats and roped some calves. Thank you for humoring me with my crazy lighting ideas (some of which DIDN'T work! LOL!) You are truly an inspiration, young lady!! Your work ethic, drive and determination will carry you far - no matter the goals that you pursue.
