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…
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…
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…
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…

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….
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…
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…
