It’s September! This month, I have a trifecta of covers in Horse Illustrated, Young Rider and TheHorse.com, along with an article on Barn Cameras in Horse Illustrated (with photos of my beauties!) and two photos opening an article on Navicular for Horse & Rider Magazine.
If you’ve never been to a therapeutic riding program, you are missing out on pure joy! To see how the participants come alive around the horses is an unforgettable experience. When I was a wedding photographer my approach was story-driven, which meant that my focus was less on posed images…
Oh gosh, I just LOVED this session with Brittney and her two horses. The weather was perfect, Brittney was laid back and her horses just adored her. The session took place on their private farm. My favorite spot was right in front of a giant fountain that was positioned so…
This was the first time I’ve been invited to photograph the Ames Percherons in the spring and what a delight it was! This time, instead of a whole team, I photographed a mare and foal. This foal will grow up, turn dapple grey and pull a wagon. The way he…
