Kelly and her OTTB gelding Poe compete in three day eventing together – which means they’re both pretty bad-ass – which also means that Poe is BOMB PROOF. I’ve had easygoing horses on shoots before, I’ve had energetic horses and lazy horses and opinionated horses – but Poe wins for most laid-back horse ever. We […]

After waiting (and waiting…..) for spring to finally arrive in New Jersey, I was ecstatic to see that the trees and flowers were in full bloom at Redfield Farm, Lauren’s barn. I love photographing people with their horses year round – but there is something really special about a backdrop of lush, green, vibrant flowers […]

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 […]

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 […]

I think it’s kind of funny lately that the majority of my equestrian/horse & rider photo sessions have been ladies with their mares! And I won’t lie, I was very excited to take Vi and Dakota’s picture. Not only are they both gorgeous, but they have such a sweet, sincere relationship. Vi goes to school […]

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 […]

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 […]
