Ah, autumn in Minnesota! I love the great variety of colors and the beautiful evening light we get this time of year. Of course, this was last year. I hate being so behind on blogging, but this is the last of 2015. Onward and upward! :) I can honestly say that I have never seen a horse with more ...
Molly’s Senior Photos with her Horse Lacey
I met Molly when her mom and I were boarding our horses together. I was so impressed with this smart, talented young woman that I asked her to assist for me last summer at some of my filmmaking projects. She learned quickly and was a valuable part of my very small team! With Molly’s session, we ...
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 ...
Anya’s Seniors Photos with her Gorgeous Friesian, Mr. Wonderful
This first image is one of my favorite photo session moments ever! We were just standing there when this little bird flew up and landed on Anya’s horse Mr. Wonderful! She said she’s never seen this happen before! I felt like it was symbolic of the joyful and free spirit that Anya embodies (and yes, ...
Anna Says Goodbye to Her Beloved Horse Sunny
Anna and Sunny grew up together and were the best of friends. They had spent 21 years by each other's side galloping through fields, exploring their world, and learning the true meaning of friendship. They knew each other as they knew themselves. Anna’s family bought Sunny as a yearling. He was to ...
The Mathias Family – Portraits with Horses!
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 a couple of reasons. First, to get all the ...
McKayla, Dream and Blaze, the Adorable Photo Bombing Foal
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 horse to ride. In addition to being a ...
Sarah’s Album with her Horses Ace and Remi
I thought it would be fun to share Sarah’s photos with you by showing the design of the photo album I created for her. If I had been thinking ahead, I would have taken a photo of her album before I shipped it off, but I only had this idea today, so there’s that. :) I was Sarah’s senior photographer ...
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, ...
