We all know the story...
That unforgettable day remains etched in our memories—the day we first encountered a creature unlike any other, the moment we felt the soft touch of its velvet muzzle. It was the day we swung a leg over and experienced a living, breathing rocking horse, forever altering the course of our lives
I was 4 years old when I first experienced horses. My Dad stopped at a random stable while we were driving and the owner graciously let me ride her horse (things were different back then). He was a huge bay named Cadillac.
And that was it.
My Dad “jokes” it was the most expensive mistake of his life. I don’t think he’s joking.
For over 25 years I have been involved in the horse industry. From Dressage, Jumping, Western, Saddleseat, and even leading trail rides at summer camps. To owning my own horses to having a photography business that has seen me have work in COWGIRL Magazine, PEOPLE Magazine, being the Official Photographer of the Midwest Horse Fair in 2019, 2023, and for 2024, including photographing a PRCA rodeo .
I am thrilled to be able to combine my industry experience with this art.
As long as horses have been in my life, dogs have been there slightly longer. Having grown up with dogs my entire life thanks to two parents who love them just as much, I have owned many different breeds and have gone on pheasant hunts with my dad, where I loved watching our dog do what he was born to do.
Horses and dogs have always been a constant in my life, a source of comfort, and the only way I want it to be.
I am forever thankful to these animals and I cannot wait to photograph yours.
Why choose me as your photographer?
If you're looking for a photographer who understands the adrenaline rush of a barrel run, the thrill of being airborne over an oxer, the tranquility of a trail ride, or the quiet unseen moments in the barn alley. If you're looking for a photographer who believes that dogs and horses go hand in hand. If you're looking for a photographer who understands the behavior, safety, and correct angles of different breeds.
