Meet the Lyles | Jessica + Chris

Jessica and Chris made it official in Vegas this summer, and shortly thereafter, her mom claimed an SPC session at a livestock show benefit silent auction. 

Fate, y'all. And ALL the fun. 

Jess and I've known each other since our early 4-H days; and she's now a fantastic masseuse and BOSS spa owner – Bold Creek Spa, Elgin. Visit her ... but call first ... and no, she's not sponsoring this post. ;-)

Samantha | Porum '18

Y'all.

Can we all just say a collective "amen" for the gorgeousness that is Samantha? Whew. Every pose she hit was perfect, and, truth be told, I'm super jealous of her natural tendencies in front of the lens.

Our sunset was quality, and I cannot wait for our second session next spring.

You are killing your senior year, dear. Can't wait to see what the future holds for you!

Britt + Blair

Warning: adorable tiny human alert. 

Britt and Blair are almost too cute to handle. And, boy, I love when I get to hang with them: they're super sweet, and only a little ornery. ;-)

Engagement: Holly + Colton

I have to say . . . I have had the cutest, in-love, and flat-out FUN couples show up for sessions. Holly and Colton are no exception. 

Another best-friend's-kid-sister, I've known Holly for ages. Getting to capture this obvious love . . . well, sometimes words fail me. It's the best. 

My favorite part? Hearing how they met, and watching {in awe} as Colton pulled a receipt out of his wallet with Holly's phone number. I may have swooned a little. 

November can't come quick enough. 

Engagement: Kendra + Jacob

Love and laughter should definitely go hand-in-hand, and these two have both in spades.

My girl K.Sue {we've been buds for twenty-ish} found the one who compliments her in so many ways, and I couldn't be happier for her. 

Estimated relationship rating: solid, fifty plus {years}.

Cheers to two less fish in the sea. ;-)

Web Launch: Oklahoma Beef Checkoff

Proud to share the official launch of the Oklahoma Beef Checkoff Campaign website, today! 

As members of the Oklahoma Cattlemen's Association and Class 25 of the Cattlemen's Leadership Academy, my husband and I are two of many Oklahoma ranchers who are choosing to vote YES on a second state checkoff dollar. 

I could let you read my soapbox here, but I'd rather you visit the site – it says it all*. 

*But, if I were to share my soapbox, it would say something about this content-forward, responsive site being optimized for various devices and how it's ideal for users with varying internet speeds and user experience levels.
