Always good for me to get back in the cowboy scene. Here’s some photos from an early morning cattle shipping for your late night scroll.

I have always admired Dolly Parton for her country roots, beautiful songwriting and loving spirit. But the thing that’s stuck with me the most, has been her gift for telling a story.

We all come from different places, different families, different circumstances, and different walks of life. All those little pieces shape us into the people we become.

And yet here we are in 2026 living in a world where we are all trying to look the same, act the same, dress the same, and fit into the same little box.

We each have our own God-given gifts. Our own little quirks, our own struggles, our own joys and our own outlook on life. We each have a story to tell.

And I believe there’s something beautiful about that.

THESE are the kind of stories I want to tell through my creativity —the ones that make you pause for a moment, remember who you are, where you came from, and what makes you different.

So don’t be afraid, be an original and love big!

Because really, what could be more beautiful than that??

ā€œFind out who you are and do it on purposeā€
- Dolly Rebecca Parton

God rest her soul šŸŒ·šŸ¦‹āœØ

My take on this trend ā˜†

I could list so many more little things that are chic, but my two cents for today is: in a world of screens, print those photos. These are sentimental memories. Fill the albums, hang the picture frames! It’ll change your life.

This month I was given the lovely opportunity to photograph a wedding in Glenwood, New Mexico. It was an honor to be a part of Kaleb & Gianetta’s day and capture such precious memories.

Their day was filled with turquoise details, cowboy hats, beautiful florals and of course the their sweet family!

This was the first wedding I’ve photographed— a huge milestone for my business. I am so thankful for this opportunity to grow, expand my business, and continue bringing my clients’ photo dreams to life.

Congratulations to the Brenems šŸ¾šŸ¤

Gillian Healey II Ojo Feliz Ranch

This was such a sweet session in the beautiful pines of Wagon Mound, New Mexico. I met Gilly last fall and she has been such a blessing in my life. She is a genuine soul, a great time to be around, and has a heart of gold. I couldn’t be more thankful to have her in my circle. She is indeed a cowboy girl ā™”ļøŽ

• National Day of the Cowboy •

This is an important day at Photos By Opal. It’s such a joy in my life to take pictures of these guys doing what they love and loving what they do. The hard work, long days and perseverance of their everyday job captured through my lens a few days a year. Can’t wait to see the cowboy photo adventures that are to come!!
