Get to know me

HEY, I’M OLIVIA!

The girl behind the camera at Terrell's Weathered Lens.

I’m an Indiana-based rodeo and western lifestyle photographer with a heart for capturing the kind of moments that feel like the West, not just the eight seconds everyone came to see.

I grew up in a small town, surrounded by farm life, and I’ve always been drawn to the grit, tradition, people, and stories that make the western way of life what it is. Somewhere along the way, my love for photography and my love for this lifestyle became one and I knew I had found exactly where I was supposed to be.

You’ll usually find me somewhere in or along the arena fence with a camera in my hands chasing good light, flying dirt, quiet moments behind the chutes, cowboy portraits, livestock, and the split-second action you only get one chance to capture.

But for me, rodeo photography has never been about simply getting "the shot."

It’s about telling the whole story.

The prayer before the ride. The nerves behind the bucking chutes. The dust on a cowboy’s hat. The little kid watching from the fence dreaming about the day it’ll be their turn. The friendships, families, livestock, late nights, long drives, victories, wrecks, and everything that happens when nobody thinks the camera is watching.

My faith is at the center of who I am and everything I’m building. Every arena I’ve stepped into, every opportunity I’ve been given, and every door that has opened along this journey is something I give God the glory for.

My goal is simple: to create photographs that don't just show what rodeos look like, but to create photographs to remind you exactly what rodeos feel like.

So whether you’re a cowboy, cowgirl, rodeo producer, western brand, rancher, or someone who simply calls this lifestyle home…

I’d be honored to tell your story!
