Mane Stream NJ is a wonderful organization that makes horses and horseback riding accessible to individuals of every ability. Their mission:
"...to improve the quality of life for individuals with physical, developmental, emotional, and medical challenges through a diverse program of equine assisted activities, therapy services, and educational initiatives."
Mane Stream is located in Oldwick, New Jersey, just 2 miles off Route 78. They have designation as a Premier Accredited Center of PATH Intl. (Professional Association of Therapeutic Horsemanship, International) who provides education, accreditation, and resources for the equine assisted activities industry. Mane Stream is also a member facility of AHA, Inc.

I'm so proud to support Mane Stream and their mission. So far I've been able to donate over $3,000 to this incredible organization through these fundraisers alone! Every donation helps.
The actual shoot ended up being an afternoon of total enjoyment! Jessica is an extremely talented, professional photographer, with an excellent eye and keen ability to capture the right moments as they naturally unfold. The images are a treasured keepsake for our family, and I consider Jessica a treasured friend. I cannot recommend her highly enough!

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!

Jessica did an AMAZING job and I am so happy with how the pictures came out! She was very patient with my restless standardbred and knew exactly what to do to make my horse look perfect in every photo.

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!

I had a horse & rider portrait session with Jessica and she was amazing! She really took the time to find all the best spots at my farm and was very patient and knowledgeable when it came to getting the best shots. She was very prepared to work with my horse and really got the best out of him! Our final photos were so amazing.

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!!
