MY WORK IS ROOTED IN STORY
The families who carry it forward.
I photograph rodeo the way it is lived.
In the arena. On the land. Around the kitchen table.
The work that built it.
The early mornings.
The worn hands.
The quiet pride.
too
I did not grow up watching rodeo from the stands.
I grew up understanding what it costs.
The early mornings.
The dust.
The quiet drive home after a long weekend.
This life is not a costume.
It is work.
It is family.
It is pride.
I am a mother. A storyteller. A believer that photographs should feel like memory.
The kind your grandkids will hold one day and say,
“That’s where we come from.”
I photograph rodeo families, athletes, and generational ranchers because I understand the rhythm of this life.
I am not here to decorate it.
I am here to document it.

Rooted here,
Stories that stay
I photograph the work behind the buckle.
The quiet pride. The dirt under the nails.
The way a grandfather looks at his grandson in the arena lights.
This is not about posing.
It is about remembering.
These are the photographs your family will pull out years from now and say,
“That was us.”
From the arena to the kitchen table

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.
