Red Dirt Photo + Video

The first ever elopement at the Red Dirt Ranch. And honestly… I never saw this one coming. 🤍
When we inherited this land, there was one particular hill that I knew I wanted to keep special.
It's split by the property line we share with family, and I asked my sister-in-law what she thought about leaving the hill unfenced—not splitting it, not building on it, but making it a place that our whole family could still enjoy.
She loved the idea, and when I mentioned maybe a cross, she and her husband wasted no time. It has become one of our most treasured land marks.
Over the last few years, this hill has become my favorite place on the ranch. I've taken clients up there for photos, watched sunsets from the top, and let plenty of people experience the view that made us fall in love with this little piece of heaven in the first place.
THEN THIS HAPPENED
Someone got married there. 🥹
On generational land.
Overlooking the Cimarron Valley.
Under that cross with nothing but Oklahoma sky stretching out behind them.

And somehow, it felt like the most natural thing in the world.

This was the first elopement ever held on Red Dirt Ranch, and it was completely unexpected. We don't have a venue, manicured landscaping, paved roads or a fancy ceremony site.

We have dirt.
Open fields.
A killer view.
A ridiculous amount of Oklahoma sky.
And a couple who didn't need anything more.

And I think that's when it clicked for me…
Maybe this place is meant for this.

The Ranch is still very much raw land. We're building this place slowly, piece by piece, and there is a LOT of work ahead of us. Eventually, I'd love to have roads running through more of our 80 acres, beautiful little ceremony spots tucked into the landscape, an Airbnb, and places where people can come stay and experience this land for themselves.
But we're not there yet.
So for now, I'm dreaming small.
And I'm opening the door to a few Red Dirt Ranch elopements for couples who want something simple, beautiful, intimate, and a little bit wild.
Think your people, your photographer, your vows, an Oklahoma sunset, and 80 acres of Red Dirt Ranch.
Because if this first one taught me anything, it's that sometimes the best places aren't the ones that were built to be venues.
They're the ones that were simply waiting for the right people to come along. 🤎
And this was one hell of a way to start.

I’m not gonna lie… these turned out even better than I expected. 🥹
We had THE most beautiful fall day for these minis, and I got to spend the day photographing so many faces that were brand new to me. And honestly? Getting to meet so many new families and immediately watching everyone settle in, laugh, snuggle, and absolutely KILL IT in front of my camera was pretty special.

Everyone showed up dressed to PERFECTION.
The babies showed up with their biggest smiles.
The light showed up and did its thing.
And somehow, every single family made this setup look completely different.
Which might be my favorite part.
Because look at these. 👀
One family is soft and sweet.
Another is big, colorful and full of personality.
Another is giving full-on moody fall editorial.
And then we ended the day with the largest family I have ever photographed 😂 — and somehow we got everybody in one frame looking this good.
I could not have asked for a better day.
So from the very top of these Oklahoma hills, THANK YOU. 🤎
To my longtime clients who continue to come back and trust me with your families year after year…
And to all of the brand-new faces who showed up and trusted me with your memories for the first time…
Thank you, thank you, THANK YOU.

We were supposed to spend this day in the Wichita Mountains.

Instead, we found ourselves making a little bit of magic in a hospital lobby.

These two are outdoors people. Hunters. Give them a little dirt, a wide-open sky and somewhere wild to wander, and they’re happy. So a hospital was definitely not the backdrop we had pictured for their maternity session.

But life doesn’t always ask what we pictured.

Sometimes it just hands you something different and says, here you go.

So we made the most of it.

There were no mountain views or tall grass blowing in the wind. Her accessories were hospital bracelets and IV lines.

And somehow, it was still beautiful.

This season of their lives wasn’t happening somewhere pretty and picturesque. It was happening right here. In this room. In the waiting. In the uncertainty. In the quiet moments before they got to meet this little baby.

And I think there’s something pretty damn beautiful about that.

About making something meaningful out of the place you never planned to be.

Maybe that’s what these photographs will mean years from now.

Not the session that didn’t happen how we wanted; but the story of how they loved this baby through whatever came their way. 🤍

Each year, I get the opportunity to photograph several events for AFR, including their Youth Summit. This July, I watched these five young campers stand up, give their speeches, and work hard to earn the votes that would make them the next AFR Youth Council.

And Friday, I got to photograph them again—but this time, as the council I watched be elected. 🥹

These kids are everything you hope to see in the next generation of agriculture. They’re kind, outgoing, hardworking, and natural leaders among their peers. They put in the work, stepped outside their comfort zones, and earned the opportunity to spend the next year serving the AFR organization and the youth around them.

As a photographer, getting to document that journey is such a cool part of what I do. I’ll get to see them again at conference in February, and then back at Youth Summit next July, where I’ll watch a new council be elected and another group of young leaders begin their year of service.

Getting to photograph the moments is one thing. Getting to watch these kids grow into the people they’re becoming is something really special. 🌾🤍
