Sadie Jane West Senior 2023


 Sadie Jane West is a Senior at Peaster High School, what makes her story so inspiring is she showed how determined she was to graduate early.  She is actually a junior, but in 2019 she chose to graduate early and took online classes to make sure that happened.



They moved to Peaster and started a new life for her, it was the best decision she ever made was to join the High School Rodeo Team representing Peaster High School Rodeo. She says "I love every minute of competing at North Texas High School Rodeo Association and the jackpots around our area".  She credits her amazing parents for hauling her every week to compete on her horses.  


Sadie will be attending Hardin-Simmons University in the fall and plans to study animal science/pre-veterinary and eventually become an equine vet.  She is so excited to graduate and start another new life in college accomplishing her goals.


She was so nice to compliment Jo H Photography as a sponsor and being there during her rodeo and barrel racing career capturing the action where she competed.  She served as a Junior Rep on one of my teams and has been such a big supporter, I can't thank her and her family enough for that.

Trey Pennington Senior 2023

 When I first started my photography journey, I was a hobbyist looking for something to do in a little down time I had.  I started off in Saint Jo Texas and what I loved was they offered mini and senior bull riding.  I loved this sport so much.  Down the road 10 years and I ended up photographing at NTHSRA in Saginaw for a few years and again, fell back into the bull riding events and watching some great bull riders.


This week I had the pleasure of capturing Senior 2023 photos for Trey Pennington, he was one of our regular customers at the Photo Booth at the rodeo and I loved photographing him each week at the youth rodeos.


Trey started his bull riding career at the young age of 3.  He is currently 18 and competes at North Texas High School Rodeo and has qualified for the Fort Worth Stock Show Scholarship Rodeo and also competes at TYBR events and various youth rodeos. 


Trey also currently serves on the Student board for North Texas High School Rodeo, He has been doing all of this wile competing in law enforcement events.    He is going to continue his love of Bull Riding after High School at the collegiate level while gaining a major in Agricultural Business.

Kylea Pytel Senior 2023

 I met this young lady a few years ago through the great sport of Barrel Racing and then High School Rodeo.  She is a member of the Burleson Rodeo Team and will be graduating from Burleson Centennial May of 2023

Kylea will be attending Texas Tech University in the fall specializing in Human Developmental Science and then attending Tech Nursing School after she finishes at Texas Tech.


I asked Kylea if she would be continuing with her barrel racing when she goes off to college and she said "YES" She will be barrel racing on the Texas Tech Rodeo Team; thats a huge accomplishment and so much hard work and dedication to be a full time student as well as being a part of the rodeo team.

"It does not matter how slowly you go, as long a you do not stop". Confucius.

Best of Luck to Kylea in her future, I wanted to appreciate her and her family for being so supportive of my little business
