I know we’re missing a few, but if you see one of these kids out wandering the fairgrounds or in the ring, make sure to thank them—they run the show 💛

They’ve put in countless hours of hard work and dedication to make this week a success. You truly won’t meet a better group of kids.

Thank you all for being so good to me this week. I appreciate each and every one of you! ❤️

Some of the highlights from Wednesday’s shows. Huge shout out to Jenna Orahood for helping out with some shots of the steer shows.

One of the kids asked me, are you getting my good side? 🤣🤣 I guess you’re gonna have to let me know! 😆

Again- these junior fair kids running these shows are killing it out here.

It’s all about the kids 💛

Oh, and no one is safe from my 📸

This girl opened the door to the start of my photography journey. She was my first model when I didn’t have a dang clue what I was doing. I wanted to learn how to shoot horses. I had my camera for 1 week. And she let me play.

A little crazy now to see how much she has grown since the first time I took her picture.

Kayleigh Hickman- look at you go rockstar.

And you’d never know that sweet pearl was taking a little cat nap just right before 💛

This week at the Auglaize County Fairgrounds reminded me of something.

I saw more than kids trying to win their class. I saw friendships. Firm handshakes. Raw emotion. Hard-working young people with a bond so strong with their animals that it’s impossible not to notice.

I think it’s easy to lose hope in this generation sometimes. But if you spend even a little time in a barn with these kids, you’ll see exactly what I got to see.

This is my second year photographing the Auglaize County Fair, and I’m also celebrating my second year of owning and operating my business.

When I first started, my goal was to get the perfect shot.

Now, my goal is to tell the story.

The family and friends who show up.
The early mornings and hard work.
The friendships.
The respect shown to the judges.
The firm handshakes.
The lessons being learned long before the ribbons are handed out.

I’ve also had the chance to get to know some of the kids on the fair board, and they are truly—truly—incredible.

I have absolutely no doubt they’re going to accomplish amazing things. The leadership, work ethic, and character they show at such a young age are something special.

To everyone who’s been a part of making this week happen—you’ve got something to be proud of.

And parents- these kids are gonna turn out to be something 💛

Thank you for letting me tell your story.

-Here is some of my favorites from Tuesday. The rest can be found on the gallery.
