Just a reminder of how much we LOVE a good senior session!

Especially when we get to work with someone like Jaden and capture great shots in downtown St. Helens and the waterfront!

Want to take advantage of those fall colors and this amazing weather?! We have plenty of days available and would love to capture your senior year!

Earlier this summer, we had the opportunity to capture some truly amazing riders. Nick and Annah from Donohue Horsemanship are fantastic reined cowhorse trainers in Banks, Oregon. They showed us a sneak peek into their day-to-day lives of practicing true horsemanship, and we were beyond impressed!

With the perfect golden hour lighting absolutely popping off, we were able to capture some of the coolest equine action shots we have ever taken. We should have posted these way before now, but we couldn't keep them away from the socials any longer!

We are so excited to have them take part in our Lost Locals Equestrian Ambassador Program this year. It was truly an honor to get to work with them!

Donohue Horsemanship works closely with the Western States Stock Horse Association, often being the official clinicians at each show. If you're looking to improve your skills in Reined Cowhorse events, we highly recommend you check them out!

Capturing moments like these is what drives us at Lost Locals Media. We offer specialized content and media packages tailored to help equine-related businesses build their brand and showcase their hard work. Reach out to us today to discuss how we can help elevate your business!

Having these two be a part of our Equine Ambassador Program makes us so proud!

We want to wish Josie Zimmer and her amazing mare, Miley the best of luck as they compete at the World Ranch Horse Show this week!

You two have come so far and grown so much together, we can't wait to see what this week brings! Have fun, and love your horse!

Make sure you give them a follow to watch their journey!

It was another beautiful evening capturing the Clatskanie Farmer Collective Farm to Table Dinner up on Mist Mountain!

This is our 3rd year capturing this culinary masterpiece, and we are so thankful to take a small part in this community and documenting the hard work they put into bringing LOCAL FRESH FOOD to our tables. Especially a 69' single slab table that holds this many guests!

We can't wait to see Destiny as Miss Rodeo Oregon head to Vegas in December to step onto the Miss Rodeo America stage!

Especially in the Horsemanship Arena at South Point!

It has been a whirlwind of horse shoots this summer! We get so wrapped up in what we are currently working on that we forget to share all the awesome content we capture.

These shots come from our Equine Ambassador shoot with Samantha Tweet and her OTTB, It's Saul Right, aka "Soul."

We had a blast working with Samantha, learning all about Soul, and hearing about the Retired Racehorse Project! Samantha and Soul were gearing up to head to Kentucky in September to compete in the RRP competition.

Unfortunately, as most horse owners know too well, not everything goes to plan. Soul has been recovering from lameness over the last several weeks, though thankfully she is now on her way to being sound again.

With the competition just a few weeks away and Soul missing her regular workouts and progress, Samantha made the difficult decision to withdraw from competing in Kentucky. She is staying home to properly get Soul back into shape, rather than pushing her beyond what she is ready for.

We created the Lost Locals Equine Ambassador Program to document and support riders across multiple disciplines who embody true horsemanship and strive to build strong connections with their horses.

We could not ask for a better example of just that! We are so proud to support Samantha and her journey in giving a retired racehorse a new lease on life. We love to see a horsewoman value the longevity and health of her equine partner over pushing through at the horse's expense.

We are so excited to see Soul heal back to 100% and watch where Samantha takes her next!

Be sure to give them a follow and look out for their code to get a discount on your next photoshoot with us!

It's kinda chic to work with great people like Donohue Horsemanship!

Is that Miss Rodeo Oregon at Cannon Beach?! Heck ya it is!

As I prepare for the 2027 Miss Rodeo America Pageant in just 109 days, I still have a few things in the works!

If you have been wanting to become a sponsor for my year or my trip to the MRA Pageant in Las Vegas, there is still an opportunity to do so. You can request a sponsorship packet today, and your support will go toward my final couple of weeks of rodeo travel and pageant preparation. This includes things like coaching, clothing, and even my required ad in the pageant program. If you would like to be a part of this journey, reach out to me today for more information on how you can help!

We are so excited to bring this Mini Rodeo Queen clinic together with Iron.n.ivory!

You’re not just learning from a photographer.

You’re learning from a creative team that has spent years working alongside rodeo queens, agricultural organizations, western businesses, and brands throughout the Pacific Northwest.

At Lost Locals Media, Cade and Sophia have built a reputation for creating more than beautiful photos—they create images that tell a story, elevate a personal brand, and leave a lasting impression. Their work extends far beyond photography, with expertise in branding, graphic design, videography, social media, and marketing, giving them a unique perspective on what makes someone stand out.

As rodeo queen sponsors and longtime supporters of western organizations, they understand what contestants, committees, and sponsors are looking for. They know how to help you feel comfortable in front of the camera, highlight your personality, and create images that feel authentic to you—not forced.

But perhaps the best part?

They genuinely care about the people they work with.

When you spend the day with Lost Locals Media and Iron n Ivory, you’re not just walking away with a professional headshot. You’re building relationships with people who love this industry, believe in investing in young women, and will continue cheering you on as you pursue your goals.

That’s the kind of community we’re excited to build.

🤍 Come invest in yourself.
📸 Leave with confidence, connections, and a headshot you’ll be proud of.

August 1 | St. Paul, OR
✨ Pre-registration required.
