ARE YOU STRUGGLING TO TAKE YOUR WESTERN PHOTOGRAPHY BUSINESS TO THE NEXT LEVEL?


Maybe you’re dreaming of capturing the rugged beauty and deep-rooted traditions of ranch life—but something’s holding you back, like a barn door that just won’t budge, no matter how hard you push.


Maybe you’re clocking in countless hours, trying “all the things,” but it feels like you’re just spinning your wheels. The constant grind is leading straight to burnout, and you’re wondering how others make it look so easy.


Or maybe every time you scroll through Instagram, you see photographers who seem to have it all figured out—they’re booking the clients you want, raising their prices, capturing breathtaking shots, and spending more time with their families. They’ve mastered the art of “shoot less, make more,” and you can’t help but think:



…And all you can think is:

I want that

But I don’t know how.


Imagine a weekend where you’re not only refining your photography skills but stepping right into the heart of cowboy culture, guided by someone who’s lived it. This isn’t just another educational experience—it’s a chance to capture the soul of a life built on grit, love, and resilience.


The cowboys and strong, resilient women who raised and mentored me deserve to have their stories told through the lens. Photography here isn’t just about beautiful images—it’s about preserving a legacy for future generations. Every shot you take this weekend will tell a story of hard work, connection, and the kind of love that lasts a lifetime.


You’ll experience the real rhythms of ranch life and photograph it, all while learning from those who know it best. Beyond the shoots, you’ll dive into 3 hands-on workshops led by industry pros to help you level up your photography business.


Think of this weekend as a blend of immersive photography and real, meaningful education. Together, let’s capture the heart of cowboy life and the love that keeps it alive. This is more than a workshop—it’s a celebration of everything that makes ranch life so powerful.

HEY FRIEND...


I'm Lauren! First off: I am so happy you are here :)


I am a western wedding and lifestyle photographer from Kansas where I grew up on my family’s beautiful cattle ranch. I have always been moved by the power of photography to tell compelling stories and freeze cherished moments in time. As a passionate photographer, my mission is to capture the authenticity, love, and unique personalities of each individual I work with. I believe that every person has a story to tell, and I am dedicated to unveiling those stories through my lens.
