I got to photograph TWO sets of twins with their horses last year! Emily and Olivia ride Eventing, which means they do three day competitions that involve Dressage, Cross Country (riding jumps on a course out in the field) and Stadium Jumping (riding jumps in an arena). They devote a…
This was one of my all time favorite sessions! Audrey and Delilah made me laugh and smile through the whole thing, and they made it possible for me to make some of my best senior/equine images to date! I think a big part of that is the crazy love that…
If one beautiful young woman in front of my camera with a horse makes me happy, you can only guess how ecstatic I was to photograph TWO! These girls LOVE LOVE LOVE their horses. I enjoyed capturing the similarities between them, but even more, their uniqueness and the individual way…

Gosh, I LOVE this family! This is our second year of doing photos and the more I get to know these lovely people, the more I adore them! They love to challenge me with a big group photo that involves LOTS of animals! Images like this can be tricky for…
This was a first – a senior session where the horse we are photographing has a foal at her side! McKayla is a super talented, super sweet young woman with a BIG heart for horses. She worked at the ranch where we did the session, and Dream was her favorite…
