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 […]

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 […]

If you’ve ever had your portrait taken by a photographer, chances are they’ve scheduled the shoot for right around sunset. That’s because the hour or so before the sun sets is called the “golden hour”. The light is amazing, and if you’re lucky enough to have some trees on the west side of whatever property […]

Okay how gorgeous are these two? Jenna and Olive became a team last year and they’ve been full steam ahead ever since, schooling cross country, showing in jumpers, enjoying trail rides and lessons together. We had the most gorgeous weather and sunset the evening of our shoot – I couldn’t ask for better models or […]

I absolutely love mini sessions. If you’re not ready to invest in a full-blown, 2 hour long portrait session with your horse, a mini session is definitely the way to go. Minis are also great for kids and their favorite lesson horse – which is what Abby wanted to do with Hugo. Hugo is owned by […]

Molly and Dezi have been a team for less than a year, but seeing them together, you’d think they were made for each other. The trust they have for each other is amazing – it’s one of those horse-rider relationships that was just meant to be. For their portrait session we decided on a romantic […]

I can’t even begin to tell you guys how excited I am to share this post and these photos with you. But before I share, a quick background on the situation. I promise I won’t take too long. 😉 TLDR: My mentoring with Shelley Paulson has impacted me in so many incredible ways, and I’m […]

This was hands-down one of the most fun shoots I’ve ever done (not counting any sessions with my bestie Jenna, because who doesn’t love a photo shoot with their best friend and muse?!). Jessica and Chris wanted some natural, relaxed family portraits of them with their horse, Liam and dog, Diesel. Jessica mentioned that she […]
