Welcome to Chase Templeton Photography


Capturing the Western Ways of Life


Out here, the dust tells stories, the sunsets paint legends, and every weathered face and worn saddle speaks of tradition, grit, and freedom. Based in Northern California, I specialize in telling the story of the American West through the lens—where tradition runs deep, and every image holds the grit, grace, and spirit of cowboy life. From the dust and energy of rodeo arenas to the quiet moments on a working ranch, my work honors the people and places that keep the western way alive.

Whether it's the quiet pride of a ranch hand, the chaos of a bucking bronc, or the stillness of a prairie morning, my goal is simple: to capture the raw, real, and rugged beauty of the western way of life—and share it with those who live for it.

If you're looking for powerful rodeo action shots, timeless western portraits, or authentic captures from ranch branding events, I’m your gal!


This isn’t just photography—it’s a tribute to a way of life.
