Once Upon A Ranch - Martindale Family - Nov 2022

11/20/2022

0 Comments

 
And just like that, another Once Upon a Ranch photo session is in the books.

Meet the Martindale family - a crew of cow chasing blondies who have killers smiles and who have horsemanship skills this photographer can only dream of.

I had the pleasure of joining this cowboy-cowgirl crew on a brisk winters day in the Nicola, which always adds lots of fun when photographing both young children and animals. All of which were pure champs when it came to the crafty ideas I had up my sleeve. I may have even found my upcoming second shooter in a wee cowboy. ;) And boy, am I happy with how these images came out!

I'm so glad my paths crossed with this cow crew and I get call them part of the my 4-H family! Thank you Martindale's for having me out for a winter wonderland ranch-venture!

A + T = Engaged - Oct 2022

I'm not sure about you, but engagement photos on a ranch during golden hour really get to me!

I met Allison years ago when we were kids in 4-H, competing at the big South Coastal Judging Rally. Which in retrospect seems like a whole entire lifetime ago and I suppose it was. ;) Fast forward to recent years and our paths crossed again, after I moved back to BC after about a decade in Alberta, and was contracting for various local ag events, while simultaneously wrangling ranchers.

It's been so fun to reconnect with old 4-H friends and see them grow and evolve as we become adults.

Allison and Trevor's shoot was perfect - the light was just right, the cows were cool with Allison's beautiful dress and we had some fun getting silly (just for Tessie!) in the fall leaves.

Thank you guys for letting me capture a part of your love story!

A Fancy Lady Cowgirl Tea Party is a Must!

10/1/2022

Being a fancy lady cowgirl, is a state of mind and a lifestyle. And these four have embodied it!

I had the privilege of photographing a fun and fabulous cowgirl tea party (and ranch adventure) of 4 of my 4-H members. These 4 are a hoot to be around and are all such spirited little ladies who will move mountains as their lives progress. I'm grateful our paths crossed through such an amazing program. 

4-H has always held a special space in my life and heart, but this photoshoot just reminded me 10 fold of why 4-H has always been so important. It's the community, the family, the friends, the livestock, but most importantly all the lessons intertwined together.

I hope you ladies find yourselves wild, free and fancy lady cowgirls for the rest of your lives!
