Being a high school senior can bring a mixed bag of emotions. Excitement about the future - leaving home, learning in a new environment, choosing a career; but it can also bring about changes that aren't easy - less time for riding, or even having to give up riding altogether for a season. For the ...
Emily Lakeman’s Senior Photos with her horse Forrest
What do you get when you combine a sassy OTTB (Off the Track Thoroughbred) and a sweet high school senior with the perfect Minnesota weather and a gorgeous location? Pure bliss! Emily and her horse Forrest are like two peas in a pod. They do three day eventing, which means they must be proficient ...
Emily and Olivia – Senior Twins with their Horses
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 tremendous ...
Greta’s Senior Photos with Her Horses Remi & Raz
I’m sort of panicking because it suddenly got green outside and I’m only about halfway through blogging last year’s sessions! I will try and catch up in the next few weeks. Try. :) I thought it would be appropriate to share Greta’s photos today because she had a big accomplishment over the weekend ...
Tayler and Her Horse Le Soir, Equestrian Senior Portraits
What do you get when you combine perfect weather, a young woman who is beautiful inside and out, a stunning horse and a scenic location? Some of my favorite photos to date! Le Soir is the same age as my horse - 22 - and has the same quiet demeanor that comes with years of being loved and well ...
Portraits of Marissa and her Lovable Horses
I find it such a joy to photograph young women with horses that they just adore. Marissa was the epitome of that with her two horses Rueger and Zaster. She loves them, they love her back, it shows. She rides Cross Country, which means she basically flies on these horses over jumps, water hazards, ...
Hannah’s Autumn Equestrian Senior Photos
This is my last session to blog from 2014! I can't wait to catch you all up on this year's sessions, it's been a great summer so far! If you are interested in a session with autumn colors, I encourage you to book soon, as these dates are filling up. Hannah’s session was a trip down memory lane for ...
Abbie’s Autumn Senior Photos with Her Horse Hercules
My session with Abbie happened on a beautiful autumn day. The trees were just beginning to show their colors and made for a lovely backdrop for our time together. Abbie and her horse Hercules are one of those friendships where each needed the other in order to heal and grow. They have a sweet, ...
Kelly’s Senior Session with her Horses Wiley and Mick
If I could be granted a superpower, I think I would want the ability to control the weather. I feel like I’ve turned into an amateur meteorologist over the years, as I try watch and read multiple weather reports and forecasts to figure out when to go ahead with a session and when to reschedule. If I ...
Greta and her horses Lulu and Ricky
There’s a funny quote I see pop up on Facebook once in awhile. It goes like this “Horses are like potato chips, you can’t have just one!” Well, Greta originally was going to have photos with just her sweet horse Lulu (on the right), but days before our session, she got another one named Ricky. He ...
