Hey there, September! Nice to see you, but weren’t you just here!? Holy cow. Anyone else wondering where the summer went? Also isn’t it beautiful in South Dakota still, because it’s still so green because it won’t stop raining!? It’s been quite the year. Sending good vibes, positive thoughts and prayers to all the people in the agriculture world that are literally looking up to the Heavens thinking, “Ok, now what?”
August was fast and furious. We ended our stay in Baker with every seasonal change imaginable headed east, home for two days and back west for the Range Days Rodeo in Rapid City, SD. There we got to witness history; the first ever Xtreme Broncs Championship Finals. The caliber of competition both man and horse was awesome! It was a great experience and the stands were packed!
An all-star lineup in Rapid for the Xtreme Broncs Championship Finals.
We also caught up with the Northern Breakaway Championships and took in a full afternoon of breakaway roping. I am so excited for the presence that breakaway is making in the pro rodeo world. I think it’s an exciting opportunity for some great up and coming AND seasoned cowgirls.
Home again, home again jiggity jig and we started up with some amazing senior sessions. We are so excited for the class of 2020 and can’t thank them enough for reaching out. We still have some availability this fall so if your on the fence on where to go or what you want out of your session, CONTACT us! We would LOVE to work with you!
Pistol Cowden, we were so excited about your session; SHOW STOPPER!
For Labor Day weekend, Clay took on a new roll of Livestock photography. He took. photos of the Top 5, Reserve Champion and Champion of the Beef, Sheep and Goat 4-H shows. He was excited for the opportunity and is always looking to expand his portfolio. Thank you to SD 4-H Extension for reaching out to us and we look forward to the possibility of working with you in the future.
And before we knew it, fall and September were upon us. More senior sessions, more rain and a wedding were on the horizon. We spent last Saturday with Kyle and Kaylee and the rain and captured some wonderful moment under a gray sky because they were such great sports. No one was raining on their parade for their wedding day! Thanks so much for having us.

Behind the lens of how my morning was going! Still smiling and making the most of the downpour that was upon me, literally!
So here we are, back to another full schedule: senior sessions, Premier Rodeo in Sioux Falls this weekend and more senior sessions! Pounding the pavement and cramming in anything before our weather turns to snow. I hated to say it people but it’s coming! Hope the seasonal change finds you all happy, healthy and embracing everything that’s coming your way.
