Below you will find the links to the image galleries I have photographed over the past year.  Due to limited space after a year the galleries will be taken down.  The images in the galleries are unedited and raw.  If there is something special you have seen that you would like me to try please send me an email. 
The past couple of years I have really enjoyed finding and shooting some special candid moments and in some of the image galleries you may find images that your not sure why I may have taken it.  With a little editing and imagination that image can and will become a very special moment and memory for myself as well as the person in the image. 
In 2014 I will be limiting the amount of shows that I photograph; I'm happy to say that I am so busy that it's important that I focus on the associations who have already scheduled me to shoot for them, I still have some openings so if your interested in having me shoot your events please contact me.   I have also added lights!  So these dark arenas are no longer an issue.

Colorado Reined Cowhorse Firecracker Special - Castle Rock, CO
7/4-7/6/2014
The image galleries for this horse show are now uploaded.  This show was a blast; hot, cold, rain, wind, lightning and thunder and we stuck it out till the end.  I tried a few different things at this show like shooting one of the cutting classes from the crow's nest just to see how interesting the shots would be; they are pretty neat.  I also did some video which was entertaining and I learned a lot. 

WRCA Ranch Rodeo - Hugo, CO
06/28/2014
I'd been wanting to go to a ranch rodeo but last year's schedule seemed to fall on all the wrong days so when I had a chance to go this year I was all over it.  What a wonderful group of family oriented people!  And it was really nice to see a lot of the cowhorse and ranch horse people there as well. 

To go to the image gallery please click on the name of your event.

The images seen here on my website have special editing.  They hold a lot more color than what you will see in the image hosting site to purchase.  If you wish to purchase images with special editing like these here, please contact me directly before ordering.


 



 

Slidin' Daze Spectacular and Mountain High Ranch & Cowhorse Show - Estes Park
June 20-22, 2014
Spent a wonderful weekend up in Estes Park with two of my favorite associations; the ranch and cowhorse people.  It was a gorgeous weekend with a little bit of sun, a little bit of rain, a touch of wind and a wonderful setting!  The show was full of good friends, old friends and new ones.  None of the images in the galleries have been edited so no cropping or slight fixing has been done.  Due to the dust some images might appear faded, don't worry, this can be fixed.
