PORTRAIT SESSIONS

Your horses are a part of your family and your personal history. Investing in quality portraits of your beloved horses is a great way to preserve the memory of them for years and generations to come.

APPROACH

My passion is to create relaxed, natural photographs that capture the true beauty of the horse and the feeling of the remarkable relationships we are privileged to have with them.

EXPERIENCE

When looking for someone to photograph your horse, I believe it is important to find someone who is experienced with managing horses. My experience allows me to work safely and quietly with horses to capture them at their best.

I have loved and been around horses most of my life and have owned my horse Maggie Sue for 15 years. She has taught me a great deal about trust and love, and also about how horses react and move. I can recognize that moment when a horse shows me their true beauty, and that is the moment I take the picture.

I am respectful of both horses and owners during a photo session and use only gentle methods to get horses to put their ears forward. I never endanger the animal or owner, or push either to the point of stress. I prefer to create a positive, relaxed experience for everyone involved in a photo session.
