Dapples for dayyyyyys – how gorgeous is Hhemlock? She literally GLOWED. I always love working with dressage horses because they’re so easy to square up for their portrait session! Also the bling – gotta love the bling. Hhemlock’s mom Jennifer purchased this session at Mane Stream’s Boots on the Boardwalk auction to support and benefit […]

Cute rider? Check. Cute shadbelly for cute rider? Check. Cute PONIES for cute rider? CHECK!! Get ready for major pony faces. Since I’m a horrible procrastinator and these portraits were taken in summer 2019, not all of these ponies are still being ridden by Lotus, but last summer they were! And they were cute! We […]

When I return home from your portrait session, I CANNOT WAIT to slide that memory card into my card reader and see all of the images. I CANNOT WAIT to upload your images, sort through them, and relive the shoot. And once I’ve culled the images (you know – gotten rid of the one where […]

Well, um, the last few months have been strange, to say the least. On March 21st, I did my last session – a goodbye/remember session for a beautiful mare named Bianka. It was an emotional way to to end my sessions for the time being – on March 22nd, the stay-at-home order went into effect […]

Precautions to Keep You Safe When NJ Governor Murphy announced that many recreational facilities, including horseback riding facilities, have reopened (with restrictions) as of Friday, May 22nd, I’m pretty sure I wasn’t the only one that jumped for joy! I know that many of us, myself included, are breathing a huge sigh of relief to […]

If nothing else, the stay-at-home mandate is forcing me to catch up with blogging! The procrastination is real – this session is from last summer. But maybe it’s apt, since we all could use some bright, sunny, warm images at the moment to create some balance in our lives, which have all been turned upside […]

I am looking for individuals in the NJ/PA/NY area to collaborate with me on a personal project. The only requirements – you must own a senior horse over the age of 25 (although this is a bit flexible depending on the situation) and you must have owned that horse for 5 years or more. And […]

I’ll say it again – eventing horses are like, basically bomb proof. Perhaps not surprisingly, their human partners, the eventers, are pretty much bomb proof as well! Callie and Beau were dreamy to work with at the beautiful Golden Gait Farm – let’s just say this horse respects his mama and made it exceedingly easy […]

There are friends, and then there are friends. You know, the friends you call midday in the middle of the work week and they talk you off the ledge and then drop everything that they’re doing to come be with you and help you. The ones that are there for you and help you through […]

Have you ever experience love at first sight? Alas, I have not – as much as I love Ollie I did not fall in love with him until we’d known each other for a while (I’d call it more of a heavy like). You know, been on a few dates and exchanged a few kisses. […]
