"What do you mean, you only photograph horses?"

—Most people, after I tell them I don't offer traditional family/wedding/couples photography

Why do I only photograph horses & their people?

Because I believe a connection between those in front of and behind the camera is essential.

I don't personally know the joys or struggles of parenthood, so I can't offer that fundamental connection to a mother looking for family photos. What I do know is that your horse, whether it's your champion show horse or the pony you grew up on, holds an enormous part of your heart.

Because I get you.

I get that you would rather muck a stall than clean your kitchen. I know the smell of leather and grain makes your soul smile. I know your heart swells up a little when your horse nickers at you from down the aisle. I've tasted dirt after a fall, and I've felt butterflies right before stepping into the show ring. We horse people are a very specific breed, and we're kinda strange to anyone who doesn't get it.

Because when it comes to art, passion is everything.

I want to deliver you the best of the best, and that happens when I'm really passionate about who or what I photograph *cough* horses *cough*. You will see me get genuinely giddy at our session (inevitably there will be several occasions where I yell something along the lines of "THIS IS IT! THIS IS THE SHOT!")

Because I wish I could go back and have photos of me and my heart horse.

I think it's SO important to have beautiful, timeless images of your horse. This is what drives me. I have some pictures of my big guy, Lenardo, but they're mostly snapshots. All these years later, he still makes up a huge part of w ho I am, and I wish I had photos to do that justice. I believe YOU should have those photos.
