When Jenna first contacted me about a horse & rider portrait session with her and her horse, Gazoo, at the gorgeous Redfield Training, in Califon, NJ, she mentioned that she had just graduated from Berkeley! I went through the roof. Living out here in NJ I don’t meet many University of California alums, so YAY […]

Every photographer has their muse – whether it’s their child, spouse, or pet – there’s always that certain someone who inspires them and their work. Jenna is my muse – you may see her face in a few places on my site! She’s one of my very best friends – it’s an added bonus that she’s […]

Okay how gorgeous are these two? Jenna and Olive became a team last year and they’ve been full steam ahead ever since, schooling cross country, showing in jumpers, enjoying trail rides and lessons together. We had the most gorgeous weather and sunset the evening of our shoot – I couldn’t ask for better models or […]

While Jenna’s face may look familiar (I did a shoot with her and Kodak last summer), Paddy’s is new! Paddy is an off the track thoroughbred who was lucky enough to end up at Green Apple Stables this past year. When he’s not being ridden and pampered by Jenna, he spends time on trails, jumping, and […]

One of the main reasons I found Allyson and Poncho’s story so compelling was that Poncho was rescued solely to be rescued. At 11.2hh, he is the smallest pony to be included in The Second Chances Project. All of the other horses were rescued to be ridden – Poncho was only rescued to be rescued. […]

Seeing Sarah’s submission to The Second Chances Project for her paint pony, Cappy, I knew immediately that they’d be the perfect fit for this project. Talk about a rags to riches story! Cappy went from the kill pen at auction to the jumper rings of HITS Saugerties! Mallory was the rider that piloted him to […]

If PacMan looks familiar to you, it’s because he’s been featured on the blog before! He’s the gorgeous bay in the portraits of Maya Nakano, who had a feature in The Equestrians of Color Project AND The Plaid Horse! So, yeah – I guess that kinda makes him famous. Hopefully he won’t let it go […]

As a fine art equine photographer based in New Jersey, some of my favorite sessions have featured one of the most beloved horses in the equestrian world — the OTTB. I serve clients across NJ, PA, NY, and MD, and I can honestly say that off the track thoroughbreds show up in my portfolio more […]

So the other day, Facebook freaked out and user were unable to view photos/images while using Facebook. Subsequently people freaked out over Facebook freaking out, and then everyone was just panicked, and that’s never a good time. Because think about it – what if Facebook and Instagram freaked out – permanently – and you lost […]
