In the arena. On the land. Around the kitchen table.
So the next generation knows where they came from.

Not just what happens.

I photograph rodeo the way it is lived.
In the arena. On the land. Around the kitchen table.

The work before the gate opens.
The weight after it closes.

The quiet moments most people miss.
The relationships built over years.
The horses, the hands, the habits, the legacy carried forward.

This work is not staged or performed.
It is documented with patience, respect, and an understanding of what’s at stake.

Capturing what remains

View the stories

I did not come to rodeo to decorate it.
I came to understand it.

This work is built on showing up. Listening. Earning trust.
Knowing when to raise the camera and when to set it down.

I photograph from inside the arena and outside the spotlight.
From the chutes to the kitchen table.
Focused on what lasts longer than the moment itself.

Rooted in the work.

What this work depends on

Photographing without spectacle.
Without interruption.
Without turning work into performance.

Work shaped by trust.

This work is built over time.
Through consistency, access, and respect for the people and animals involved.

I photograph riders, athletes, and families who live this life every day.
From the chutes to the kitchen table.
From branding season to Sunday dinner.

It is not a performance.
It is a way of life shaped by work, risk, responsibility, and deep roots.

The goal is not perfection.
It is honesty.

Respect

Showing up early.
Staying late.
Knowing when to raise the camera and when to let the moment stay yours.

Presence

Time spent learning the rhythm of the arena.
The horses.
The people who care for them.



Understanding

Words from the people inside the work

Working with Riley never felt staged or rushed. She knew when to step in and when to disappear. The photos feel honest to how it actually was.

"She knew when to step in and when to disappear"

INQUIRE

Rodeo, documented.

Quiet work. Honest moments.
Images made to last beyond the season.

This work is for those who live it
not those looking for a performance.
