Carruth Family Session | Family Photographer in Ravenna, Texas

Okay, so I've fallen really behind on my blogs. I've been blessed to have a busy year so far so I'm finally making up for lost time. This family was so much fun to work with.

This guy is a full blooded wolf...and what a beauty he is!

The World Senior Professional Bull Riders were at King's Trail Cowboy Church on February 21st. What a cool event to photograph! There were guys riding that had been doing it for a r e a l l y l o n g time...and they're still doing it! If you like these photos, you can check out the entire gallery from the 'Public Galleries' that you can get to from the Home page. And no...if you're looking for Jason Norton's ride, it's not here. I know, that really stinks...I had to cut out so I missed it. : (

What a great day at the Cross Trails Cowboy Church in Fairlie, Texas! Lots of events starting with the Junior Ranch Rodeo, then the Chuck Wagon cook-off, Adult Ranch Rodeo and last but definitely not least, some old fashioned bronc riding. I made some new friends hanging out at the arena all day...great fellowship as usual. My dogs were tired when I got home but my belly was full. : ) Here are some of my favorites from the day:

Decked out for the Chuck Wagon Cook-Off...

Old Texas Barn Photos | Moore Photography | Bonham, Texas

Since 2011, I have been intrigued by old barns in Texas. I love photographing them. I have found and photographed many in and around Fannin County and have ventured out beyond when I have the time. You can see all of the barn images I've gotten over the last few years in the gallery titled 'Old Barn Photos' under Public Galleries from the Home page. I'm always looking for new 'old' ones, anxious to add them to my collection. They appear in alphabetical order according to the town they are located in (the location is shown beneath each one). Prints of these barns can be purchased...they can be framed or put on a canvas as well...right from the gallery. Take a look...your barn might be included! And come back often...I'm always adding new ones as I find them. : ) Do you know of a really cool, old barn? Shoot me an email...I'd love to hear from you! These are just a few of my favorites but you can go to the link below to see them all.

Fisher Cake Smash | One Year Cake Smash Photography | Bonham, Texas

Cake smashes are one of my favorite sessions to do. You don't know if they're going to love it or hate it but it's definitely one or the other. It usually all works out for some great photos though once they figure out that the cake is really GOOD. ha Here are my favorites of Wyatt...

Greyson | One Year Cake Smash | Bonham, TX Portrait Photography

Greyson was in the studio on Saturday...can't believe he's already one! It doesn't seem like that long ago we were doing his newborn photos. He is such a sweet baby boy with a head full of red hair to go with those big baby blues!

Kueckelhan Rodeo | Bonham, Texas | 2014

Whew! What a weekend. This is my 4th year to shoot the Kueckelhan Rodeo and I look forward to it every year.

Here are some images from this year's show. If you'd like to see them all, just go to my Home page and you'll find the gallery under 'Public Galleries'.

WRRA Women's Ranch Rodeo / Cross Trails Cowboy Church / Fairlie, Texas / 071214

Last Saturday I spent the afternoon at Cross Trails Cowboy Church shooting the Women's Ranch Rodeo. What a bunch of talented girls they had competing! The rules are a little different for the women than they are for the men but all in all, it was very impressive. Here's a link to the entire gallery, http://moorephotography9108.zenfolio.com/p278379699 , but below are some of my favorite shots of the day. Kudos to the participants, you all did a fantastic job.

Cross Trails Cowboy Church Bronc Riding | Event Photography Fairlie, Texas

So when I shoot rodeos, I'm secretly anticipating the bulls and the broncs because I LOVE capturing the action. With this event, it was ALL broncs. It was so much fun to shoot even though the lighting conditions in the arena weren't the greatest on Sunday. There were a bunch of talented guys there and thank God, no one got hurt. : ) If you'd like to see all of the images, they can be found in my 'Public Galleries' here on my website. Here are a few of my favorites from the day...including the one that I photoshopped a little as a joke for my cousin Lana...

Bois D'Arc Creek Cowboy Church Iron Cowboy Competition, May 2014

Bois D'Arc Creek Cowboy Church hosted the Iron Cowboy competition in their arena again this year.

Baby Talbott | Newborn Photography Bonham, Texas

Little miss Bess came to see me at one month old. What a sweet baby girl! Her brothers and sister came with her.

Here are some of my favorites from the day...

Baby Brasher Session, Bonham Texas Newborn Photography

Baby Braylynn is an absolute gift from God whom Rebecca and Brian have been praying for such a long time.

We had a great couple hours in the studio chatting and rocking...waiting patiently to get the shots. Here are some of my favorite images from her session...

Stockton Senior Session

A couple weeks ago, Mr. Shelby came to see me at the studio. He warned me ahead of time that I was going to LOVE taking his picture and that I did. : ) We had a fun couple of hours. Then when we were done...I got to see his street clothes. I didn't get any pics at that point but you'll probably be glad I didn't. LOL All kidding aside, Shelby's graduating from Ector High School this year and I wish him nothing but the best. Here's a few of the highlights from his session:

Bryan's Senior Session ~ Texas Portrait Photography

Wow. I've watched this guy grow up from the beginning of his time and I can't believe he is on his way to graduating high school. Time does fly. He's very active in the Lakeview Theatre...and even won a couple awards. No big deal...ha. I'm very proud of the young man he's become and pray for a speedy return from the US Air Force...where he intends to enlist after graduation to further his education. You go Bryan Brown...dream big and put God first and the sky's the limit!

Oh... and did I mention he's so stinkin' handsome??! : )

Zena's on the Blog, Senior 2014

What a fun shoot this was! Zena is such a sweet girl...it's no wonder that she's Captain of the Lakeview Centennial High School Sweethearts. After graduation she'll be off to college and I wish her all the best. Just in the short time we spent together, I have no doubt that she will excel on whatever path God leads her down. Congratulations Zena!

A Laid Back Squirrel...

I'm so ready for this warmer weather! I'm really not a winter person so now that spring is here and it's warming up, I can finally get out and enjoy some of the fresh air and all of the beauty God surrounds us with. I made my way down to the lake for lunch and saw this 'lump' on a tree. It wasn't moving and I couldn't figure out what it was. I got closer and realized it was a squirrel and for a change, it wasn't running! I stood under that tree and took pics of that poor squirrel, flash firing, for a good 15 minutes. I'm sure he was glad when I left. : )

Hello Spring. I've missed you!

Momma's on the blog...

So my momma and my crazy aunt came to see me at the studio Saturday morning sporting their green, rainbow t-shirts. ..:0 Luckily they brought some 'dress up' clothes too...lol. And there's never a dull moment when you get these two together. They are two beautiful ladies, inside and out. I wouldn't be the person I am without the influence they've had on my life (though I'm really not sure if that's a good thing or a bad thing...) I'm so blessed to have them and love them both to the moon and back!

McInnis Senior Portrait Session

These are images from Eric's Senior Portrait Session. We had fun trekking through a beautiful pasture on a cloud covered Saturday morning stopping here and there along the way. I think this old gate was my favorite spot. Eric is graduating from Dodd City High School...congratulations Eric!!
