Having your heart stolen by a cowboy can be quite an ordeal, especially if that cowboy is always on the road! Traveling from rodeo to rodeo and jackpot to jackpot with your man can test your attention span, but Sierra Motley found a way to turn it into a hobby.

What’s that saying? Give a girl a camera and she can conquer the world? No? Well, maybe it should be! I toy around with a camera every once in a while, I even took classes on it in college! Miss Sierra, however, just finished up an incredibly busy and trying time in nursing school, which means she’s had no formal photography training.

However, Sierra happens to be a natural talent, because the photos she captured at the famous Windy Ryon Memorial Roping last week are simply amazing; see for yourself!

The race is on! My favorite part about this photo is how Travis Graves’ loop frames his face on the heel side perfectly.

I will always love photos with dust. Is that weird? Those dirt particles are so small and you have to have your camera set just so to capture a picture such as this!

I feel like the positioning in this photo is flawless. It’s close-up enough where you can see every minor detail, yet nothing is cut out, even with the camera being zoomed in so far!

Heel shot! I am thoroughly impressed! This amazing photo just goes to show how important it is to take the time to develop your hobbies and passions.
