It’s been 8 years since I first visited Gypsy Gold Horse Farm in Ocala, Florida. My friend Kathy arranged a shoot there with friends and owners Erin and Dennis Thompson. Those photos are some of my all-time favorites and have been licensed for various purposes. So when I was returning…
Tribute Equine Nutrition has been a retainer client for a while now, which means we do shoots together regularly throughout the year. I love that kind of working relationship. You build trust, you understand the brand, and over time, you start thinking creatively on their behalf even when you’re not…
One of the things I care about in my commercial work is the clients I say yes to. I’m not just looking for brands with a budget. I’m looking for people who put horses first and who genuinely believe in what they’re offering the equine community. Dr. Rachel Mottet of…
