📸🐴 All photos from Coors Classic I & II are now online and ready to view! (Sorry for the delay, I was having some technical difficulties with my internet provider).

What a wonderful couple of days celebrating the future of our sport! It was such a pleasure photographing all of the beautiful foals, young horses, mares, stallions, and developing athletes in the Sport Horse in-Hand classes.

🎆✈️ Happy Independence Day! 🎆

This morning I had the opportunity to photograph two F-16 Fighting Falcons from the Colorado Air National Guard's 140th Wing as they flew over The Rock in the Town of Castle Rock in celebration of the Fourth of July and America's 250th anniversary. It was an incredible sight to witness and a special way to celebrate our nation's birthday.

I've included both the original images straight from the camera, as well as a few creative edits featuring fireworks. I hope you enjoy them!

📸🐴 I'll be ringside this Tuesday & Wednesday as the official photographer for the Sport Horse Show at the Coors Classic I & II, and I can't wait to capture all the beautiful horses and exciting moments!

Sport Horse shows are some of my absolute favorite events to photograph. As a breeder at heart, there's something so special about watching the babies, mares, and young horses beginning their careers and celebrating the future of our sport. 💛

Since there's just one competition ring, no pre-booking is required. I'll be photographing throughout the day, and galleries will be posted online in the days following the show for viewing and purchase.

Best of luck to everyone competing! I’m looking forward to seeing familiar faces, meeting new ones, and capturing another wonderful couple of days at the show. See you soon! ✨
