NO BULL$^#!,
DOWN HOME,

During my wedding, our wedding officiant told the congregation that I am “Every-man’s hype man.” I’m always looking to cheer you on, hype you up, and celebrate with you! So much so, that I left my stable and safe government job so that I could do this full time. Now I meet new people, celebrate and cheer them on, all while making photos that make me feel something…and I get to call it “work.” I’ve done photo/video for 15 years, and I’ll never stop!

Outside photography; I enjoy spending time with my wife and our three-legged Pitbull “Champ,”
reading (non-fiction), going to Saloons, watching Westerns, drinking beer, Country Swing Dancing with my Wife, and listening Country Music. See more and Follow me on IG!

I LIVE AND BREATHE COUNTRY MUSIC….

T.M.I. time…

🔥 Unpopular Opinions (You’ve Been Warned) 🤠

  • Both. Not a lot of depth, but I love it. And Elsa’s narration at the end?! Come on!! Hard not to love.

  • Pure cosplay. Nothing against Beyonce as a person. Cowboy Carter is not good album from a country perspective, and not deserving of any awards, especially considering Post Malone and Chris Stapleton put out albums the same year.

  • Sacrilegious to most; but chili has beans!!

  • False. Great movie…. but far from the best western of all time. I won’t be as dumb to make an assertion of what the best Western of all time is, but I will say that Unforgiven is not the best of all time. Top 20 for sure.

  • True. It has to be. Look at ‘em!

  • True. Isn’t that the point? So refreshing! Not a lot flavor; that lets you drink 20 in a day if you’re at the lake, where as 6 of a heavier beer would put me on my ass.

  • Country swing and two step all day everyday! My wife and I try to dance as much as we can.

  • Neither. Colter Wall, Jesse Daniel, or Benjamin Todd. Not saying Zach Bryan or Tyler Childers are bad; I’d pick Colter Wall any day of the week over them is all.

  • I don’t know how this is even a question. George Strait all day… Where are the bodies, Garth? …Real talk The Thunder Rolls and others are truly amazing, but can’t say no to The King!

  • Evening. Morning is for coffee and contemplation, not faking smiles. (Unless we’re drinking at 6AM. I won’t judge if you don’t.)

  • Outdoors! Have to see the sun, hear the gravel, and smell the grass. What’s more is that the sun does things to photos that no artificial light even comes close to.

  • Candid most of the time, traditional some of the time, spontaneous directed poses (either ideas from the group or from me) after we’ve had a few take priority though. 🍻🍷🍸🥂

  • Canon for photos, Sony for videos, Nikon for beginners. Fight me.

  • I’m part hype crew, part ninja. Silent mode is optional.

  • Dances With Wolves. I don’t care if it’s cliche, I love it!!!

  • All time: Randy Travis. He’s a national treasure.

    Modern: Ian Munsick (totally underrated).

  • 1883; beautiful and tragic. My wife and I are still recovering from it, and we finished watching it two years ago. Game of Thrones is a close second, if it weren’t for the horrible last season.

  • She’s not famous, and has no idea who I am, but the photographer I look up to the most, and that I want to strive to be as good as is named J. Lee Photography out of WY.

Proud supporter of public service

Between 2019 and 2023 I worked in law enforcement and it was truly one of the most important periods in my life. Although I found purpose working there, I desperately wanted to be home with my wife more often, a more regular schedule, and to turn my creative side job into my full time career! I offer active and retired LEO discounts for all weddings, portraits, and videos. Mention it to me at some point!

See me at work:
