I’m super excited to announce a NEW portrait session that will be available for a limited time! The Finer Details Black Background Portraits are a unique, fun twist on the traditional black background portrait. Instead of your whole horse being featured on that black background, these sessions focus on your horse’s face and little details […]

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 […]

In 2020 I set up a holiday fundraiser to benefit Mane Stream. These limited edition sessions with a holiday twist were so much fun! I packed up my holiday garlands (full of glitter, per the usual) and started hopping around farms all over NJ and PA. Hidden Farm Hunters in beautiful West Chester, PA was […]

I photographed Dianna & Daunus at Amy Howard Dressage in Ringoes, NJ and the facility is just stunningly gorgeous. I mentioned multiple times that evening that I’d likely eat off their barn floors, because they were just so clean! Forget the 10 second rule! But as I was saying – Amy Howard Dressage is just […]

Tiger at Quiet Victory Farm
The Post >

I fell in love with Tiger at Quiet Victory Farm in Titusville, NJ a few years ago. This fancy hunter named Ardeon, barn name “Tiger”, has the most in-your-pocket, sweet, outgoing personality! He’s also incredibly talented (with an equally talented mom) – I frequently see updates from his barn on my Facebook feed congratulating him […]

If someone asked me to go back and choose one of the most impactful sessions I’ve ever done, Gianna & Ziggy’s shoot at Hay Fever Farm immediately comes to mind. Never mind that Gianna is one majorly bad ass rider – SHE DOES IT WITH ONE HAND. Due to a car accident when she was […]

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 […]

Brace yourself for some major girl power. No, like, literally – these 3 mares are incredibly powerful and it’s an added bonus that they’re all drop dead gorgeous! From left to right – Lilly, Cali, and Flicka. Lilly and Flicka were home bred at BDR Legacy Farm in Lambertville, NJ (Lilly is Cali’s baby), but […]

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. So needless to say I was stoked to work with Hhemlock and check out gorgeous Red Tail Farm. […]

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 […]
