special projects

Mackenzie & Eeyore are the final pair in The Senior Horse Project. I knew when I started the project that there was always the risk of something happening to one of these senior horses before I was able to publish. Before sharing their story, I do want to disclose that unfortunately, Eeyore passed away in […]

Alissa & Hizzy are the second to last pair from The Senior Horse Project! Alissa and her family own and run Laurel Nobilis Arabians in Newtown, PA, and I was so excited to tour their gorgeous farm and meet their Arabians. As someone who has owned and loved an Arabian, I know it takes a […]

Carly and Gold are the next pair in The Senior Horse Project. In the 13 years she’s owned him, Carly and Gold have been through so much together. They’re a great example of how we as riders learn to adapt to the needs and abilities of our horses. At the time of their photo shoot […]

Carly and Hercules grew up together – that’s how she describes it. I think it’s a beautiful way to look at their 25 year long relationship. Carly is the trainer at Winward Equestrian, and Hercules is lucky enough to live out his golden years with Carly and her students on a gorgeous farm in Colts […]

Last year, a group of equestrian photographers, including my mentor Shelley Paulson, created a project called The Equestrians of Color Project, to amplify the voices of equestrians of color that want to share their stories. As stated on the project’s website, the goal of this project is to raise awareness and support diversity within the […]

Allison and Dino “The Wonder Pony” were a pair I was super excited to connect with. His story is amazing – he and Allison just so happened to find each other at just the right time. Because of that, he’s living his best life in his senior years at Chestnut Hollow Farm in Perkasie, PA. […]

Our next pair in the Senior Horse Project, Rachelle & Polly. These ladies have such an interesting, layered story because it spans multiple generations. Rachelle has raised two of Polly’s babies, Teddy and Jasper, at her farm Ponyz on the Rockz. Rachelle’s hat is sentimental in these images – she had some past pictures of […]

The second pair in the Senior Horse Project series is Allison & Maverick! I was SO excited for Allison’s session with her horse Maverick at Robin Hill Farm in Pittstown, NJ. While Maverick was Allison’s first baby, her second (and first human!) baby was going to join us for the shoot as well! It was […]

While my Senior Horse Project has been a long time in the making, I can honestly say it’s been one of the most rewarding things I’ve ever done. This project got its start at the end of 2019! My thought was that I’d be sharing these stories and portraits with you by the end of […]

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 […]
