All About Karlie Riney
Hi! I am the face behind all the things: the camera, social media, this website, etc. I graduated from Tarleton State University with a Bachelor of Science in Agricultural Communications. I am now the marketing coordinator for Bloomer Trailers while also running Karlie K Media.
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 various skills such as photo editing, video editing, lighting situations, all camera settings, etc. Karlie K Media was started in April 2024 when I had a vision of wanting to make people happy not only with their photos, but also by capturing the lifetime moments that only happen once.
I would love to capture all your special moments and make a memory out of it. Throughout high school, 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!
My family farms and ranches in the Panhandle of Texas, which is where I get my passion for agriculture from. Not only is it a job, but a lifestyle, and capturing the life that many people similar to me love is something I will always cherish.
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 hanging out together. My favorite place to visit is Colorado, and my dream is to visit the Grand Tetons.
I'm super excited to meet you, get to know you, capture your moments, and build a relationship! Let's take some amazing pictures!
