Rileigh is a Pennsylvania Farm Girl through and through. She loves taking care of her cattle and she also manages the flowers at her family's farm stand. It was no surprise when she told me she plans to pursue Animal Sciences at North Dakota State University.

For her Part II cap and gown session, we wanted to incorporate all her passions and capture Rileigh doing what she loves. So, we started out taking photos at her family's flower stand and then took a trip to visit her cattle. We had the best time frolicking around the blooming flowers, and her curious cows even cooperated for the camera!


"It was amazing and I’d love to get pictures again in the future!"

-Rileigh M.


I'm rooting for your success at NDSU, Rileigh! Congratulations, I know you're going to do amazing things in the Animal Sciences field.
