I’ve photographed plenty of engagement sessions on private farms, ranches and acres of beautiful land but nothing could have prepared me for what my eyes were going to witness for this lovely engagement session on this private ranch in Rhome Texas, just a few miles away from Decatur.

Meet Travis and Lexi. They gave me the grand tour of the land in a big Black 4×4 truck and I could swear that thing will drive through anything!

I was in awe as I gazed at the gorgeous lake and fields of purple prickly flowers I believe are called False Purple Thistle. (at least I had to google several times until I found something similar, so there you have that).
I didn’t know what to say when I saw Clyde! Clyde is Travis’ pet camel. Yes! He has a pet camel, a few donkey’s a zebra and a zonkey. Well can you guess why?!
I couldn’t help but smile from ear to ear as I walked through that private ranch having to shooo away Clyde and his buddies because they kept photobombing Travis and Lexi’s session.
It was definitely the highlight of my week. I don’t think I had ever been so close to a camel in my life but at the zoo. I finally crossed that off my bucket list of things to photograph.

As we made our way to a special dock with a beautiful view of a pond and a waterfall, Lexi let me know that’s where they had their first kiss. I couldn’t help but take a few photographs to make it a new memory for them.
I certainly cannot wait to see Lexi and Travis on their wedding day next month. They will marry at their home on Eagle Mountain Lake and it certainly will be a day to remember. I’m excited to work again with Laura from The Social Gather and Deidra from Lush Couture Floral Design.
