👀 Look at the difference between these two images! The whole feeling changes when you simply add a layer between the horse & rider and the camera -- in this case, I shoved my camera high into a tree and shot through the leaves ( 😂).

When a client can follow directions easily and quickly, and their horse has solid ground manners, it allows me to push my creativity to the next level!

This is Anabelle and her OTTB, Deli, who were wonderful models during a private photography mentorship I was teaching. The student wanted to focus on learning how to create a solid posing plan for photoshoots, and how to push those poses to create a more intimate photo, by utilizing the landscape as layers. This is a frequent request from students, and a topic I really enjoy teaching. It gets my own creative wheels turning, and showing a student a whole new view point on every day moments is incredibly fulfilling. 💕

The beauty is there, we just have to climb trees, get stuck in fences, lay in wet dirt, or hide in stalls to see it. (If you know ... you know. 😂 Photoshoots with me are always entertaining!)

This fall has truly been all about the dogs. It's been a wonderful last minute hooray before I head to the horse capitol of the world for my winter season.

Sarah requested that we spend her photoshoot at her dog's favorite stretch of beach along Lake Michigan. She wanted more candid style images, focusing on authentic memories she had with her golden retrievers. We had the most beautiful fall evening and pastel sunset to utilize and the images turned out super dreamy!

Sarah and her pups did a wonderful job, even when I was yelling directions over the loud waves crashing, my assistant throwing a dog treat bag full of sand to get ears, and our leashing nearly floating away in the water. 😆 Through the orchestration of the shoot, the beauty of the sunset and the gratitude of the love Sarah and her pups shared, and how lucky I am to have photography be my full time job, was at the front of our minds.

I don't think any of us would have chosen anywhere else to be in those moments. 💛🌅🐾

These were a handful of my favorites from this photoshoot.
🚨 Michigan clients - I am fully booked for the remainder of the year, and am now booking photoshoots for Spring of 2027. I will be back at the UKC Premier in June, photographing private session. All times are first come, first serve.

🚨 Florida clients - I will be in Florida November 1 - April 30, and will be traveling between Ocala, Tampa, Naples, and my home base of Wellington. Please be in touch ASAP to reserve your date!

// Did you know that I have 26 years old dog training and behavioral knowledge that backs up my photography skills?

Being able to read your dog’s body language and emotions, allows me to shape their behavior and capture photos that you feel in my heart, but can’t find words to describe.

We may start with a simple pose, say, “Sit in the grass next to your dog, have your comfortably on them, and sweet talk your dog.”

Then we let the dog take the lead. I photograph through the movement of their body language, capturing a variety of expressions and emotions.

I may see a super subtle movement from your dog, but frozen in a photo it can speak volumes.

This is what sets me apart from other dogs photographers, and what takes literal decades of learning dog behavior and training to gain.

Want to see some of the training I’ve done on my own dog? Check out my corgis page at Jess Klein He is 100% homeschooled and a true testament to my background in dog training. 💕

// your experience during the photoshoot - including the memories behind the scenes- are just as important as capturing the photos you hired me for.

I try to always grab a few candid or BTS moments during every photoshoot. These were the candids and extra bts photos captured during a photoshoot for 7 Samoyed puppies, out of Solid Gold in Grand Haven, Mi.

WELLINGTON BOUND!! 🌴 🚗 💨

We are starting the drive south, from Muskegon Michigan to Wellington Florida, where I'll be located for photoshoots, November - April!

After doing the numbers from all of my 25/26 season traveling back and forth to Florida, it made more sense to get a place of our own in Wellington. Now, I'll be spending 3 weeks in Florida, and 1 week in Michigan every month. The flexibility of this additional time is going to allow more clients to book photoshoots, more photographers time for in-person mentorships, and additional 3-day workshops throughout the winter!

It is also going to minimize my stress and extreme time restrictions of traveling.

I'll regularly be traveling between Ocala, Tampa, Naples and Wellington, offering photography for horses and dogs, as well as private mentorships. My soonest availability is the following...
November 9 - Wellington / Jupiter
November 11 - Ocala
November 13 - Naples

DM me to schedule a photoshoot or mentorship. Either I, or my lovely assistant Beth, will be able to assist you with any photography customizations and booking!

Can't wait for this new adventure, and the inevitable growth of the business. 🤓🥰📸

❓Are you feeling like your Horse & Rider images are missing that POP effect you see other photographers accomplishing?
❓Are you overwhelmed with using photoshop, and lost knowing which tools to use, and how to use them?
❓Would you like to know how to create a consistent color theme for each gallery you are editing and delivering?

Let's get you signed up for the upcoming Horse & Rider Photography workshop on January 15-17 in Wellington, Florida.

The most eye open aspects of these workshops has always been

⭐️️ Dependable posing horses and rider, no matter the breed, discipline, or behavior presented.
⭐️️ Identifying and shaping natural lighting
⭐️ Consistent editing, with realistic color tones, incredible attention to details, and a demand for attention.

🚨Limited to 5 dedicated photographers, who can soak up education FAST (because I do not hold back on any tips, tricks, or tried and true methods I’ve learned over 10+ years of equine photography), and are eager to elevate their photography skills and double their business.

Your education will not end on the last day! I am dedicated to your personal growth, and provide additional education via…

⭐️A private portal specifically for the students in this workshop will be open for 14 days following the workshop, allowing you to continue to ask questions individually or as a group.
⭐️A private 1:1 virtual mentorship, completed via zoom, to be used within 6 months of the workshop, will provide you with an extra boost in education, once you are home and able to apply the skills learned in the workshop.
⭐️ Three step by step editing tutorials, using the photos we have taken during the workshop, are also included! This allows you to play, pause, practice my full editing process, while you edit your own images, at your own pace.

You will not find a workshop that provides the vast amount of education, the attention and individual guidance to each student, or the resources available to take home, guaranteed.

// During the photo shoot, I discussed with the client what areas on the horse they would like retouched or left natural. I see a lot of horses that have bug bites and sweat rubs, and sun bleaching, simply due to the time of year. This takes a toll on the horse’s coat, but it should not affect the outcome of the fine art image. When you have these images enlarged to 40 x 60” as fine in your homes, you want to see and remember your horse at their best. Not what they look like on a sweltering Tuesday afternoon, covered and bug bites, sweat rubs, and some nicks and scrapes from playing rough with their pasture mates. 

I am happy to offer these retouching services as part of my business and respect every client’s requests they have for retouching!

All editing is done in the most current version of Adobe Photoshop. I do offer courses on equine portrait, editing, available for download through my website. 

Looking to book your horses equine portraits? DM me or visit the website for details and to reserve time during my travel schedule.

🚨 November - April, I’ll be located in Wellington, Florida, with travel throughout the state of Florida!

I typically DON'T photographing in indoor arenas, simply because 99% of indoors are like photographing inside a coffin. They are INCREDIBLY dark, and the quality of image in such a dark location makes me cringe inside.

However - I couldn't walk away from the dreamy fall lighting that was pouring into this indoor when teaching a private Horse & Rider Photography mentorship. It was a unique opportunity to play with a different kind of lighting, and learn how the student could change the poses in relation to the light, shaping a different type of overall feeling and story.

These were a handful of my favorites I photographed when I wasn't hands on with the student or talking through my approach and techniques.

// Take a peak inside my camera bag as I pack up the business and head to Florida!

Please excuse the chipmunk voice. This video was way longer than I originally wanted, and I had to speed it up a bit. 🙈🐿️

// For the past 8 years, photography has CONSUMED every waking (annnddd a lot of my sleeping) moment. I don’t do anything half-assed.

But this year, I’ve spent 4 months cutting my workload back by 50%. It’s been one of the hardest things I have ever done. Because I get stressed that I don’t have a life outside of the business, while on the flip side, I get incredibly anxious when I try to take time off, because I can’t stop thinking about all of the time I’m “wasting” and all the things I should be doing.

Learning to relax, while still feeling productive, and trusting that my business won’t suffer from less time dedicated to it, isn’t easy.

But I’m getting there, and I know that this next chapter of my business is going to THRIVE, and so am I. 💕🤓
