The Moon Family with a few from their herd 🐴

Very happy that we got to see the sun for a little while after what felt like weeks of constant rain!

Congratulations Mr. and Mrs. Murray! 💍

Sarah's pink theme brightened the gloomy Florida weather. We managed to sneak outside for a few minutes here and there. We even found the cutest little pink flowers that looked like they were put there especially for Sarah 🌸

I'm so honored to have been asked to spend another wedding day with the Swindell family. I photographed their eldest daughter's wedding several years ago (who now has their first grandchild) and took their youngest daughter's senior portraits last month. Being a part of family's memories never fails to feel special.

One of the biggest misconceptions about fine art portraits is that your horse has to be “fancy” or perfectly polished to deserve them. They don’t.

Not every horse is a braided-up show horse and that’s okay. Some horses are retired, some are trail horses, some haven’t seen a show ring a day in their life. The goal isn’t to change who they are. It’s simply to help them look like the best version of themselves.

Little details like cleaning your bridle, adding hoof polish, or trimming stray hairs can make a huge difference in the final portrait without taking away from your horse’s personality or everyday lifestyle.

At the end of the day, fine art portraits are about celebrating your horse exactly as they are — just with a little extra polish. 🐴✨

If you saw my last post, you know why I do this work. 🐴

Scarlett taught me that someday isn't promised. I kept telling myself I'd get more photos of her — better ones, when she was in better shape, when things slowed down. And then one day I couldn't anymore.

That's why I show up for every session the way I do. Fully invested, unhurried, and genuinely honored to be trusted with something this meaningful. Because I know exactly what these photos become when someday arrives faster than you expected.

If you've been thinking about booking — this is your sign to stop waiting.

Spring spots are almost gone and I'm already booking into summer and early fall. The planning is easy, I take care of everything, and you'll wonder why you waited so long.

Don't wait for someday. Someday has a way of arriving too fast.

👇 Drop a 🐴 in the comments if you're ready, or send me a DM. I'd love to work with you.

I didn’t expect to cry putting this together because Scarlett has been gone for over two years, but sometimes it still feels so fresh. She’s the reason I continue to do photography. She’s my “why”, she’s my brand, she’s my logo, and she’s with me every time I take photos of my clients and their horses.
My job is important.
Your photos are important.
Your horse is important.
I don’t want you to ever forget that.
I’m a photographer, but first I’m an equestrian and I know what these photos will mean to you.

Forever thankful to for these videos and photos that we took less than a year before Scarlett got sick.
