Sam is one of the sweetest people you will ever meet.  I first met her a few years ago when she was one of my sponsored riders.  We hit it off instantly and became good friends.  Back then she was still living in NC but she wanted to chase her dreams and head out to Colorado.  […]

I had so much fun with Britney and her horses.  We started out with a really cool old car in the middle of the dirt road.  It was really cool to learn about the old car and to do fun portraits with it.  Then it was off to take some pictures of Britney riding her […]

My favorite time of year for the past few years has been when I get to do carriage rides for Carolina Carriage Company in Forest City.  The entire town turns into the perfect little Hallmark Christmas town.  All of the trees are wrapped in lights, there is a Santa Clause and even an ice skating […]

I love getting to spend time on the Derrer Farm.  They have some of the most beautiful horses on their farm. The Derrer Family competes all over the country with their team of horses, a hitched team of 6.  It takes the entire family to make everything work.   This year they were champions, and wanted to […]

Abby was heading off to Kentucky for a barrel race she was chosen to enter with her two amazing thoroughbreds.  It was a big deal to be chosen, and it was such a cool honor to spend the afternoon with her sweet boys. These two thoroughbreds definitely are full of personality.  There wasn’t a moment where they […]

I love all things cowgirl and horses.  It’s so much fun to watch girls dress up and have fun pictures made with their horses.  Sydney was a sport because I had this fun idea of a cowgirl and her horse but with a guitar as well.  She came out to the farm to model for […]

Laura came out to the farm for an equine photoshoot! She is such a cool soul and totally down for anything.  We laughed a lot and put up with my dumbo horse, who was being a little buddy sour, but at the end of the day he did fine and everything came out amazing!
