What Makes This Different?

This Isn’t “Stand and Smile” Photography

It’s personal. It’s western. It’s you and your horse — exactly as you are.

  • Relaxed Sessions: No rush, no stiff posing — just connection and authenticity.

  • Your Location: Barns, pastures, open fields — where you and your horse feel most comfortable.

  • Artwork You Can Hold: Wall art, albums, and keepsake prints that bring your horse into every room.

  • Handled With Care: I know horses — their body language, their quirks, and how to help them shine naturally.

No stress. No posing marathons. Just you, your horse, and an experience that ends with artwork that makes you stop and smile every time you walk past it.

The Three Step Experience

Getting Started

The first step is to reach out! I love to hear about you and your pet's story. With that information, together we can customize a portrait session specifically for you and your pet; starting with picking an epic location and scheduling the portrait session.

The Session

It's portrait day! We meet at a beautiful location. I guide you through the process of assisting me to get the best results possible. During this time, expect to laugh and have fun while I document the story of you both.

Afterwards

A curated gallery of images will be prepared for you to gush over and relive the fun day. We meet in-person, or virtually, I'll guide you through the process of picking your favorite images and designing artwork that fits your home and lifestyle best.
