Emily & Radar
I had the pleasure of meeting Emily and Radical Redemption (aka Radar) for a private photo session at Southwind Farm in Damascus, Maryland. Radar is the type of horse we’d all like to own… sweet and gentleman like in hand and athletic under saddle. He’s a 15.3 h, five year old Appendix that was bred for [...]
The Mahoney Family
Laura, Regan, Gracie (horse), Celeste, Bonny, Darcy and Faye Oops (Greyhounds)… think I got them all! And we got them all in the picture as well. We started the session with the whole family and then Regan took the dogs home and Laura, Gracie and I continued the fun. Laura and Gracie compete in Dressage and [...]
Sam & Signal Fire
I felt like I was in an episode of ‘Storm Chasers’ the evening I went out to photograph Samantha and her three year old stallion, Signal Fire. We were lucky enough to have just over an hour of calm weather between the storms and the lighting was magnificent. These two have a great bond together that [...]
A Warm December Day
After the wind, rain and even snow! this past week, I was so happy the sun peeked out this past Saturday for a private photo session in Great Falls, VA. Meeting Cara, Tom and their horses, Austin and Gus, was such a pleasure and I’m loving putting their photos together. Here are just a few [...]
Jiji & Carpet
One of the things I really love about photographing horses is getting to know their riders. I recently met Jiji and her lesson horse, Carpet, at Maintree Farm in Leesburg, VA. Jiji has only been taking lessons a few months and is doing so well! I hope to see her again next year to update [...]
Thank You to ALL Veterans
A different sort of post from me this time — in honor of Veterans Day My last post included preview photos for the family I met this past Sunday and I mentioned Gordy, the Percheron that was just retired from the Old Guard. Based at Fort Myer in VA, the Old Guard is the [...]
Whispering Pines
It was a little chilly this past Sunday but the sunlight was beautiful for a mega session at a private farm in Northern Virginia. I had so much fun with this family and it was very obvious how much they all love their four-legged friends. From the little dog, Cricket, to the 19 hand Percheron, [...]
Katie and Cody
Another fun session on a beautiful, sunny day! Cody is an off-the-track Thoroughbred with tons of personality and lots of love for his rider, Katie. A few previews below while I look forward to processing the rest of the photos for this beautiful pair…
Jessie and Miles
Halloween was all treats for me this year and part of the fun was meeting this fabulous pair from Cavallo Farm. Miles is a 10 year old Warmblood cross (I think the cross part is lapdog as he is a total sweetheart). They are both simply gorgeous and Jessie and her mom couldn’t have been [...]
