All About Karlie Riney
Hi! I am the face behind all the things: the camera, social media, this website, etc. I am a student at Tarleton State University studying Agriculture Communications. I will graduate in Spring 2026.
I have always had a passion for photography ever since my Dad handed me his old Canon Rebel T4i. I started just taking pictures of anything that caught my eye... cattle, horses, flowers, and even took my camera to some rodeos. Ever since then, my love for photography has grown. I took a class from Tarleton on agricultural photography, and also took a film class where I learned a lot in both. I started Lasso Lens Photography in April 2024.
I would love to capture all your special moments and make a memory out of it, especially for seniors, because I miss all of my high school activities. I was heavily involved in FFA, where I was an officer for 2 years, showed lambs, pigs, and steers, competed in horse judging, creed speaking, and was on the BBQ team. Athletically speaking... I ran varsity track and cross country, played soccer, and was an athletic trainer all 4 years of high school. So, seniors, take it all in because one day you will miss it!
For fun, I highly enjoy photography (of course), anything to do with horses and livestock, reading my bible and spending time with God, hiking and nature, and hanging out with friends, whether it be at a lake or just chilling together. My favorite place to visit is Colorado, and my dream is to visit the Grand Tetons.
I'm super excited to meet you and capture your moments! Let's take some amazing pictures!
