Caitlin, John & Noelle | Great Scott Farm This shoot with Caitlin, John and Noelle at Great Scott Farm was BY FAR the most humid, hot, sticky, uncomfortable evening we’d had yet this season. So I’m not from a naturally humid place – southern California doesn’t rank  high on the humidity scale. I never really […]

So there’s this popular hashtag on Instagram #communityovercompetition. It’s pretty self-explanatory in the context of photography – there are a zillion and one photographers out there and many of us are marketing to the same people, and it can become a competitive situation. But isn’t being a part of a supportive, like-minded community waaaaay more […]

Kelly and her OTTB gelding Poe compete in three day eventing together – which means they’re both pretty bad-ass – which also means that Poe is BOMB PROOF. I’ve had easygoing horses on shoots before, I’ve had energetic horses and lazy horses and opinionated horses – but Poe wins for most laid-back horse ever. We […]

Bug and his mom Kerstin win the award for “shiniest and most well-prepared for their black background portrait session”. Bug was SPOTLESS. This guy is hysterical – he has such a huge personality and is so dang sweet – it was so much fun making these portraits with him. So while we’re on the topic […]

After waiting (and waiting…..) for spring to finally arrive in New Jersey, I was ecstatic to see that the trees and flowers were in full bloom at Redfield Farm, Lauren’s barn. I love photographing people with their horses year round – but there is something really special about a backdrop of lush, green, vibrant flowers […]

When Stacey first told me her horse’s name was Trouble, the next thing she said was “but he’s not!” Far from being any trouble, he was one of the kindest, calmest, most gentlemanly horses I’ve ever worked with. He was definitely far more interested in noshing on the grass around us than anything else, and […]

Sometimes I get a client that just makes my job SO EASY – Morgyn is one of those clients. Besides the fact that both she and her horse Niro are gorgeous, they were just both so easy going! Niro is boarded at the beautiful Chesterfield Farm with endless options for photos. Thankfully we had Morgyn’s […]

If you live in the central New Jersey area and are looking to adopt a puppy or dog – please consider adopting from Southern Comfort Animal Rescue. This rescue does such incredible work with these dogs – some of the dogs are rescued from horrifying conditions – animal hoarders, abusive or neglectful situations, or even […]

Most people, when faced with a weather that forecasts for snow, run and hide. And generally, I can be counted in that group of people! I’m from CA – I literally didn’t see falling snow until I was 26 YEARS OLD. I realize that’s not normal, but that’s the truth. And now that I’ve lived […]

Marissa and her gelding, Tucker – major cuteness factor with Tucker here. Marissa’s had him since he was a baby – and although he’s not a baby anymore, he’s very much Marissa’s little baby. The two of them were so sweet with each other and I don’t know if it’s just me, but I think […]
