Welcoming Rhett William Parsons | Where Life Grows 🌱
There are some stories that begin long before a baby ever arrives. Over the past months, I’ve had the honor of documenting pieces of life with the Parsons family through my year-long documentary project, Where Life Grows. From muddy boots and chore time to quiet moments between sisters, newborn lambs, horses in the pasture, and the everyday beauty of farm life . This project has never simply been about photographs. It has been about preserving a season of life exactly as it

Where Life Grows | The Pig Days
There are days that feel a little more like childhood than others. This was one of them. Piggie Zoomies Audrey and Elena spent the day with their Stockman’s Club project pigs, Cookie and Indy, and if you’ve never watched pigs get the zoomies, you’re missing out. It’s equal parts chaos and comedy, and I couldn’t help but laugh behind the camera as the girls ran alongside them, trying to keep up. But beneath the laughter, there’s something more.

Where Life Grows | The Day the Triplets Arrived
There are some days you plan for. And then there are days you simply witness. Lamb #2 Arriving (I was too late arriving to see #1 being born) Monday was the kind you witness. When I arrived, the barn was quiet except for the low sounds of a ewe in labor. Straw scattered across the stall. A red heat lamp glowing softly in the corner. The kind of light that feels both urgent and tender at the same time. #2 born, while #1 is carried to heat lamp. Audrey and Elena didn’t hesitat

Where Life Grows
A Personal Documentary Photography Project This personal project exists for two reasons. The first is simple. I want to become a better photographer. I love photography. I especially love photographing horses. When I first started taking photography courses, being mentored, and learning everything I possibly could, I didn’t yet know what my genre would be. I honestly didn’t even realize equine photography was a thing. There weren’t many equine photographers in my area at the

Buck Cancer Project Feature: Jenna & Monkey
Every year, my Buck Cancer Project gives me the honor of gifting a photo session to an equestrian whose story embodies courage, connection, and the healing bond we share with our horses. This year, I had the privilege of photographing Jenna and her sweet horse, Monkey—and their session is one I won’t soon forget. Jenna is a brain cancer survivor. Her last surgery was in 2020, and this year she celebrates an incredible milestone: five years cancer-free . When she talks about h
