I've known Kelley for about a year now, and the day we met her for our family pics, she gave us a tour of her old studio. While at her studio I flipped through an album of pictures she took at a rodeo, and they blew me away. I told her that one day we would go to a rodeo together and take some pics because it looked like so much fun.
Well that day finally came. Yesterday, Jenny and I met up with Kelley, Sam, and some of their friends to go to the Abdallah Shrine Rodeo in Tonganoxie. Now, I'm a city boy and I've never been to a rodeo. Kelley says it's un-American, but anyway, she scored us some all access passes and we were able to roam free around the rodeo snapping away. All I can say is that it was amazing, I had a blast, I got a little muddy and here are my favorite pics from the night:)
Also, check out Kelley's blog for some of her awesome pics from the night. Thanks, Kelley, for breaking me in right:)
Here's Kelley fresh from being splattered with mud (we were right up against the fence). No camera equipment was harmed during the making of these images:)
