It’s not every day you get to take your Justin Boots for a spin at a floral fashion show! I created a dress fit for a rodeo queen entirely of flowers! I debuted a native headdress and two bridal bouquets for a bride that just wanted something totally out of the box!

My most favorite part of the weekend was bringing rodeo culture into my state’s floral showcase!

Because sometimes your everyday clothes at a slack performance call for BEX sunglasses. 😎

I’d say I’m repping the brand pretty hard… I even named my dog Bex! ❤️

Sponsor Spotlight: Deadwood Media Co.

One of the best parts of my time in Fort Smith was the incredible people I met along the way. After striking up a conversation with a gentleman in the stands, he showed me an amazing photo he had taken of me during the parade. Before long, we found some free time and booked a photo session with Cody of Deadwood Media Co.

These photos mean more to me than I can put into words. They were taken during one of the last rodeos of my reign where I was able to ride my sweet Kodak before his injury sidelined him. They’ll always be a special reminder of this chapter and the memories we made together.

Thank you, Cody, for capturing moments I’ll treasure for a lifetime!
