Horse Park of New Jersey | Maya & PacMan I have so much respect for eventers – I don’t know how they do it. Seriously. I remember the first time I saw an eventing xc course for the Jersey Fresh International Three Day Event at the The Horse Park of New Jersey. It was just […]

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 […]

Thoroughbreds – the horses that capture our hearts. From racetracks to eventing trials and even Olympic games, the OTTB (off the track thoroughbred, for any non-horse people who have found themselves here) is one of the most ubiquitous and recognizable horse breeds. Many of my clients own and love an OTTB, and for good reason […]

I know I’m only like, a year behind on my blogging (!), but I feel like Ann and Munchkin were worth the wait, don’t you?! Ann was Mrs. New Jersey 2019, and we did these portraits shortly before she competed for the title of Mrs. America 2019. It has been so fun to follow along […]

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 […]

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’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! He made it exceedingly easy for […]

Have you ever experience love at first sight? Every now and then you hear about it, about someone who fell in love with another being (be it person, horse, dog, etc.) at first sight. They just knew in that first meeting that it was love. That’s how Taylor describes her relationship with Clarissa – she […]

So I wrote this blog post a while ago, right after our portrait session. Sadly, I have to write a little addendum now. I received some incredibly sad news on the morning of July 29th. Mia became suddenly, gravely ill that morning and sadly, nothing could be done to help her. Unfortunately, she passed away […]

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. But 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 […]
