 ðŸ‚¡ WELCOME TO WD RANCHES PHOTOGRAPHY 🂡

Western Lifestyle Photography + More

Hi, I am Haylee .B. Darnell 

I’m 21 years old, a Western lifestyle, freelance, and KPRA/CPRA rodeo photographer based out of Southeastern Colorado. This whole journey started not too long ago — just under a year of doin’ it steady — and what began as a hobby has started to grow into a small business, I’m proud to call my own.

With the backing of my close-knit community, my family, and some good folks along the way, I’ve been lucky enough to chase a passion that runs deep. I aim to capture the true spirit of the cowboy lifestyle — the dust, the grit, the quiet strength, and the timeless kind of beauty that never fades.

I grew up wild and wide-eyed at ranch rodeos, always in the thick of it, takin’ in the sights and sounds that shaped who I am. Those memories planted the seed for the work I do now — tellin’ stories through my lens, one honest moment at a time.

25 She is clothed with strength and dignity,

and she laughs without fear of the future.

-Proverbs 31:25

As a new photographer in Western Lifestyle Phot. I hope to see you through my lens as we keep it simple n' true roamin' in laughter, & having a heck of a time while I bring your lovely genuine moments to a more permanent marking to

look back on.
