Rodeo Action Photography: Capturing the Heart of the West

Based in Cheyenne, Wyoming, specializing in high-impact Rodeo Action Photography delivered with the authenticity only a competitor can provide. With over 27 years of professional experience, I travel nationally to create compelling images for editorial and marketing use.

The Advantage of Experience: I Know the Moment

My career behind the lens started in the arena, not just beside it.

"As a sophomore, I took a photography class, and I was also competing in team roping jackpots and high school rodeos. When I discovered photography, my dream became twofold: roping and capturing the rodeo to help fund my expenses."

This foundation led me to study photography in college and start my own business. While I eventually realized I couldn't compete and photograph at the professional level, I transitioned my full-time work into successful commercial and portrait photography—my deep, technical understanding of the sport allows me to anticipate and perfectly frame the critical, split-second action.

I don't just take pictures of the rodeo; I capture the raw emotion, the precise timing, and the intense connection that defines it.
