It's the story of you and your best friend, and it deserves to be told in the most beautiful, authentic, natural way. I know that you have dozens of options when it comes to choosing a photographer to capture the story of you and your heart horse, so why choose me? Because I get it. And I care.
I’m just as obsessed with horses as you are. I understand how it feels to have your heart flutter every time you drive up to the barn and catch a glimpse of your horse in his paddock. I know that nothing else in the world compares to the sound of your horse nickering as he sees you walking up to his stall. And I know how it feels to be in complete harmony and synchronicity with an opinionated 1,000 pound animal, if even for just a fleeting moment.
The bond between you and your horse is unique, it's special and it's sacred and there's nothing else in the world like it. The two of you have a story, and whether you're at the beginning, end, or somewhere in the middle of that story, it's beautiful and it deserves to be told.
So let's tell it together.
THEY'RE NOT "JUST PICTURES" - THIS IS THE STORY OF YOU AND YOUR HORSE

The Experience
I'LL BE YOUR PERSONAL GUIDE
It's so important to me that we capture that incredible bond that you share with your horse. Your portraits should be just as unique and special as that bond, and they should also tell the whole story! I'll gently guide you throughout the session to make sure we get it all, from beautiful poses to fun candids and sweet details.
WE'LL TELL YOUR STORY
There's nothing like seeing your portraits in print, which is why every session includes fine art prints or print credit along with your digital images, so you can enjoy your portraits every day! It's the best of both worlds!

Jessica is an absolutely wonderful human and very talented photographer! She is kind, patient and down to earth. I felt like I was hanging out with an old friend. Horses bring unexpected situations and Jessica was kind and understanding through all of my many horse related issues. The session exceeded all of my expectations! I’m glad to now call Jessica a friend!

We had the best time working with Jessica on our engagement photo shoot. It was a super hot and muggy day, and Jessica went above and beyond to keep us cool and comfortable for the shoot - bringing along a fan and other props to help us cool down. She did an amazing job photographing Noelle (my mare), finding the best locations/light on the property, and was generally a blast to work with!

So amazing to work with, from our first initial encounter with her to the end and beyond. I had a complex photo shoot - 2 mares and 7 family members. The entire experience and the end results were priceless and full of every emotion I had with my older beloved mare, who was the main focus of this photo session. Exceeded all my expectations!!
