I’ve always loved the art of a story. When I first picked up a camera, I fell hard and fast for the art of storytelling through photographs, and like every good love story, I haven’t looked back since. My specialty in equestrian photography stems from my many years as an equestrian journalist and photographer, and during my career I’ve been lucky enough to stand ringside at the Olympic Games, interview the sport’s best athletes around the world, and photograph the treasured partners of riders at all levels.  It takes a horse person to truly showcase that connection between humans and their beloved equines. As a rider and lifelong horse owner, I understand that bond and nothing makes me happier than showcasing it through images.

I'm based in the Northern Virginia area, where I offer photoshoot sessions that range from family to senior, portrait sessions with your horse and lifestyle photography in your setting of choice.

I book photoshoots by request, so feel free to reach out; I travel easily and often. With frequent trips to Wellington, FL and out West to my hometown in the Bay Area, California, there’s a good chance that I’ll be near you sometime soon.
