MEet PAYTON
Growing up in the stunning landscapes of Northwestern Colorado, I’ve always felt a deep connection to the beauty that surrounds me.
My love for photography blossomed alongside my life in the agriculture industry, where I discovered a unique passion for the livestock show world. Through my lens, I strive to showcase the rich stories and vibrant moments of the western lifestyle that inspire me daily.
Each photo I take is a reflection of my experiences and the incredible people I’ve met along the way. I’m excited to share my vision with you and capture the essence of this beautiful life we lead!
I was raised on my family’s ranch in Craig, Colorado, where we raise both registered and commercial cattle, along with some performance horses.
I’ve been actively involved in the livestock industry for years, especially when it comes to showing Angus cattle—a real passion of mine.
After graduating high school, I spent two years at Northeastern Junior College earning my Associates, then went on to earn my Bachelor’s degree in Agricultural Communications at the University of Wyoming.
I discovered my love for photography about four years ago while interning with a livestock photography company, and I haven’t put my camera down since.
That experience truly ignited my passion, and I love capturing the unique moments from my point of view behind the camera!
