The Armstrong & Henderson Branding gallery is finalized and ready to view!

Gallery link:
https://julielacyphotography.shootproof.com/gallery/ArmstrongHendersonBranding

A quick note — my gallery website does not allow screenshots, so images will need to be downloaded to view the full-quality version properly.

All images in the gallery will include a watermark. If you would like the watermark removed, images may be purchased individually. Watermarked images may still be shared on social media without purchasing, as long as the watermark remains intact.

Thank you all again for such a fun day — I loved getting to capture it all!

Also, my 2026 branding schedule is officially full. However, I do offer Western Lifestyle Sessions at your farm or ranch that focus on capturing the people, traditions, and way of life you pour your hearts into every day. Whether it's gathering cattle, feeding livestock, checking pivots, fixing fence, or simply documenting a season of life on your operation, I'd love to help tell your story.

I am now booking Fall 2026 weaning, shipping, and other ranch work sessions, as well as accepting inquiries for 2027 brandings. If you'd like to get on the calendar, feel free to send me a message.

There’s no denying it—it’s dry. Extremely dry.

The dust hanging in the air and the dirt covering everything in these photos tell a story that can’t be ignored. They are a reminder of the reality many farmers and ranchers are facing right now.

The hard work behind agriculture has always been undeniable, but so is the strength it takes to keep going when conditions are at their worst. It’s a kind of resilience that can’t always be seen in a photograph. It’s found in the early mornings, the long days, the difficult decisions, and the determination to keep moving forward when the odds feel stacked against you.

This year will be hard. Not just because of the lack of moisture, but because of the financial strain that comes with it—crop losses, reduced yields, selling livestock because there isn’t enough feed, and the uncertainty that follows.

Yet farmers and ranchers will do what they have always done. They’ll get up tomorrow and do it all again.

These photos may show the dust, but they also show the grit.

A few more of this sweet + sassy soul ✨

I love getting to capture different parts of people’s lives because every season tells a different story in time. So thankful I got to be part of this chapter of Kristin’s story. 🥰

Michael & Taylor | Engaged

I was so excited when Taylor reached out about engagement pictures. Then I got to meet Michael and spend the evening with the two of them and it was just AMAZING. Laughter, wandering around, getting to know them, and capturing them just being themselves together.

My favorite part of the night was going out to his place to shoot. Once we got there, everything just felt even more natural and comfortable. The kind of session that reminds me the best photos usually happen in places that mean something to people. I can't wait until their wedding! ♥

There’s something special about getting to photograph athletes in the sport they’ve poured so much time, energy, and heart into.

These sessions are about more than just uniforms and posed photos. They capture the late nights, early mornings, practices, teammates, wins, losses, growth, and the season of life they’re in right now.

I have the colors, the fog, the fun, and the magic — you just bring your sport and your personality.

Whether you want something dramatic and bold in the gym or something more natural and storytelling-focused outdoors, athlete sessions are built around you and your story.

Now booking athlete sessions for all sports & activities.

📍Bayard, Nebraska + beyond
📸 Sessions starting at $225
