Why you should hire me as your certified carded PRCA rodeo photographer:

Hiring me is like having a lawyer on retainer. When you call, I answer. When you pay me, you have purchased my time until the next rodeo.

I am pleased to provide this letter as an official endorsement for photographer Dave McKissick, a PRCA card holder, who recently provided professional photography services for our Northwest Florida Championship Rodeo in October.

Our rodeo proudly carries an 81-year legacy and includes numerous ancillary events beyond the arena. Throughout our four-day rodeo weekend, Dave demonstrated exceptional professionalism, talent, and passion for capturing the spirit of our event—both in and out of the arena. His services extended across all functions, including sponsor events, parades, children’s activities, and pre-rodeo festivities.

Dave’s presence provided a tremendous added value to our rodeo, offering fans, contestants, sponsors, and families access to high-quality, professional photography at every turn. This accessibility elevated the overall experience and allowed us, as an organization, to better document and promote our event.

We have already utilized Dave’s work in our marketing and promotional efforts, and the quality speaks for itself. In addition to his outstanding photography skills, Dave is one of the easiest and most professional individuals to work with—organized, dependable, and genuinely invested in the success of the event.

I fully and confidently endorse Dave McKissick for photography services at PRCA events and beyond. Should you require any additional information or wish to discuss our experience further, please feel free to contact me.
