I just felt the need to share these black background portraits of Mojito today – I think I have a case of the Mondays. And what better way to cheer myself up than to stare at a gorgeous dapple gray Welsh cross pony?! Does it get much better than this? Mojito’s show name is “Second […]

THANK YOU FOR THE AMAZING RESPONSE, THIS MODEL CALL IS NOW CLOSED Jessica Sanders Photography is looking for equestrian models to pose with their horses, as well as some specific breeds of horses to photograph on their own. How it works: Models will receive a 30-45 minute horse & rider portrait session where their horse […]

I swear we had like, one weekend of nice fall weather last year. It feels like we went directly from relentless heat and humidity right into a polar vortex and then back into some wishy washy version of fall with roller coaster temperatures and rain! So much rain! When Jinny’s mom Susan booked Jinny’s portraits […]

I made a promise to myself that in 2019, I’d share more of myself and what makes me “me” with all of you. If you know me personally, you’ll know I certainly have no issue being “me” – I strongly believe that someone should never have to hide who they are or change the way […]

2018 was my first full year as a solely equine photographer – and thanks to my amazing clients, models, family and friends, it was amazing. I wanted to put together my very favorite images from each shoot just for posterity, mainly – but I won’t lie, this was pretty fun to put together. So here […]

If you look closely at my work, there’s a theme that runs throughout – green. Lush green trees, grass, bushes, meadows – green, green, green. I LOVE THE GREENERY! I’m busiest in late spring and all summer for this reason – I just cannot get enough of that gorgeous summer greenery and the beautiful, warm […]

This session held a few firsts for me – my first time shooting in a corn field, and my first time doing portraits of a standardbred! Kerstin boards Prairie at a beautiful spot in Monroe Township, and they grow their own hay on the property – it also backs up to some lovely woods. But […]

There’s a running theme on my blog this summer – gorgeous clients that somehow manage to stay looking gorgeous in horrendous heat. Let’s add Amanda to that list! It was brutally hot and humid the day of her portrait session – as usual I came prepped with my portable fan, cold water, and towels, but […]

Where do I start with this one? Also let’s see if I can get through writing this post without crying (not gonna happen). I met Molly back in 2015 when I came to my current barn – she was a cute kid, always fun to be around and one of the senior “barn rats” (working […]
