I am so excited to be back at Dressage at Gingerwood this weekend as your dressage photographer! 🐴

I had such a great time capturing last season's show — if you missed the gallery, you can check it out here:

If you're competing and would love to be photographed, send me a message in advance and I'll make sure to grab plenty of shots for you (or even put together a full gallery)! Can't wait to see everyone out there.

Step inside a three-day dressage show at Gingerwood in PEI. From beginners to FEI professionals, discover the beauty, precision, and quiet elegance of dressage through the lens of a hunter-jumper photographer exploring a new world.

This year marks five years of photography at Coveside.

Five years of incredible light, beautiful horses, and a community that genuinely feels like home.

Thank you to Jackie and the Coveside Show Series | Coveside Stables family for building something so special — and for always having me. 🐴🤍

Some wedding days feel beautiful. This one felt deeply felt.

A family farm in Cape Breton. Horses who have always been part of her story — and a partner who stepped into that world with openness and made it theirs together.

"It wasn't one specific image — it was the feeling of being fully present, knowing how much love was in that space."

That's the whole day, right there. 🤍

Some seasons aren't about the ribbons. 🤍

Georgia and Munchie's final season together in the hunter ring was quieter than most — marked by resilience, perspective, and the steady choice to keep showing up even when things didn't go to plan.

Walking out of the ring after her first time competing in the larges, second place ribbon in hand, felt like everything. Not because of the placing — but because of how far they had come to get there.

"It's not about the ribbon, but the process. The only person I should be competing against is myself."

Georgia's full story is on the blog today — link below:

Some coaches talk about confidence. Ainslie Matheson builds it — quietly, deliberately, and long before show day ever arrives.

Ainslie is the founder of AM Equestrian and one of the coaches behind the Coveside Derby Series in Chester, Nova Scotia. Her approach isn't about placings. It's about preparation, partnership, and putting the horse first — every single time.

My packages are officially live — and it felt right to mark the moment with something a little more personal than a price list.

This is the first installment of Field Notes: a series of letters about why I do this work, what I look for behind the lens, and the quiet moments that make equestrian photography worth doing well.

If you've ever wondered what goes into the way I approach a shoot — this is a glimpse into that.

Packages are linked below. I'd love to work with you this season. 🐴

Three days in Prince Edward Island.

A discipline I'd never photographed before.

And one of the most quietly beautiful experiences I've had behind a camera.

Dressage at Gingerwood gave me a fresh lens — literally and figuratively.

From first timers to FEI professionals, this one reminded me why stepping outside your comfort zone is always worth it.
