The Chincoteague herds are owned and managed by the Chincoteague Volunteer Fire Company. They have a U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service permit to keep around 150 adult ponies on the Chincoteague National Wildlife Refuge. This means that most of the foals born each year are sold to private homes through…
I still get emotional when I think back to the day of the swim. 🥹 We were up at 3 a.m. to catch a boat to the swim location (another part of the incredible prize package from the Island Community House.) Everyone was quiet as we navigated the dark ocean…
I still can’t believe it happened – I spent a week in Chincoteague, VA, photographing and experiencing the 2023 Pony Penning Week! I have so many images to share from the experience, so I’m going to do 3 posts so check back if you miss one! A little backstory –…

The thrill of seeing my images published never fades! 🤩 My winter images were recently featured in four spreads of the December 2021 issue of the American Quarter Horse Association Journal. I guess it’s worth the frozen fingers and toes to be able to offer unique seasonal images…
I am SO excited to have one of my images not only as the August image in Western Horseman’s 2022 Cowboy Calendar but also as the cover image!
