Every photographer has their muse – whether it’s their child, spouse, or pet – there’s always that certain someone who inspires them and their work. Jenna is my muse – you may see her face in a few places on my site! She’s one of my very best friends – it’s an added bonus that she’s […]

If you look closely at my work, there’s a theme that runs throughout – green. Lush green trees, grass, bushes, meadows – green, green, green. I LOVE THE GREENERY! I’m busiest in late spring and all summer for this reason – I just cannot get enough of that gorgeous summer greenery and the beautiful, warm […]

This session held a few firsts for me! My first time shooting in a corn field, and my first time doing portraits of a standardbred! Kerstin boards Prairie at Voight Farm in Monroe Township. They grow their own hay on the property – it also backs up to some lovely woods. But – across the […]

There’s a running theme on my blog this summer – gorgeous clients that somehow manage to stay looking gorgeous in horrendous heat. Let’s add Amanda to that list! It was brutally hot and humid the day of her portrait session at Tri-Brook Equestrian Center. As usual I came prepped with my portable fan (I freaking […]

Where do I start with this one? Also let’s see if I can get through writing this post without crying (not gonna happen). I met Molly back in 2015 when I came to my current barn – she was a cute kid, always fun to be around and one of the senior “barn rats” (working […]

So first of all CONGRATULATIONS to Jen on her college graduation!! When Jen contacted me about senior photos with her chestnut mare, Luna, I was stoked – I love senior portraits. When I went to meet her and Luna at Sommerfield Stables I got even more excited because TWO REDHEADS! My second time with a […]

Caitlin, John & Noelle | Great Scott Farm This shoot with Caitlin, John and Noelle at Great Scott Farm was BY FAR the most humid, hot, sticky, uncomfortable evening we’d had yet this season. So I’m not from a naturally humid place – southern California doesn’t rank  high on the humidity scale. I never really […]

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 […]

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 […]

Bug and his mom Kerstin win the award for “shiniest and most well-prepared for their black background portrait session”. Bug was SPOTLESS. This guy is hysterical – he has such a huge personality and is so dang sweet – it was so much fun making these portraits with him. So while we’re on the topic […]
