If you had any photos from our last rodeo season that you loved, make sure you visit the Western Thrill Photography website within the next month and purchase your favorites!

Good afternoon,

I have a few important updates I would like to share with you all.

Due to medical reasons, I have made the difficult decision to step away from photographing rodeo events. As heartbreaking as it is to no longer have my camera in hand at these events, my body is no longer able to handle the physical demands that come with rodeo photography.

Because rodeo photography has been the primary focus of Western Thrill Photography, I will also be shutting down my website. If you would like to purchase any photos currently available on my website, you will have one month to do so. I will continue to keep the photos on hand should you ever need access to them in the future.

I want to sincerely thank each and every rodeo family who has supported Western Thrill Photography over the years. Every purchase, kind word, share, and opportunity to capture your memories has meant more to me than I can put into words. I am incredibly grateful to have been welcomed into so many arenas and trusted to preserve these special moments for your families.

Although I am stepping away from rodeo photography, I will continue offering lighter photography sessions, including family portraits, senior portraits, and school photos. I will have limited availability for these sessions, so please reach out if you are interested in booking.

Thank you from the bottom of my heart for allowing me to be part of your lives and for supporting Western Thrill Photography.

⭐ Sponsor Spotlight: 101 Wild West Rodeo ⭐

We are incredibly thankful to the 101 Wild West Rodeo for their continued support of the Northern Oklahoma Youth Ranch Rodeo Association.

Not only do they generously allow us to use their arena throughout our season, but they do so at no cost, which is a tremendous blessing to our association.

We are also grateful for the opportunity to host our Mutton Bustin’ during the 101 Wild West Rodeo. This fundraiser helps us raise money to support our contestants throughout the season and provide end of season prizes.

If you’ve never attended the 101 Wild West Rodeo, be sure to mark your calendar for the second week of June. It’s an incredible three-day rodeo filled with great competition, entertainment, and tradition—you won’t be disappointed!

Thank you again to the 101 Wild West Rodeo for your generosity and for being such an outstanding sponsor of the Northern Oklahoma Youth Ranch Rodeo Association. We truly appreciate all that you do for our kids and our association!
