A splendid wedding at the Lazy L&B Ranch in Dubois, WY
I have experienced quite a bit of serendipity since horses came into my life. They have brought me to amazing places around the globe and have introduced me to some formidable people. I have photographed weddings for years and have enjoyed creative adventures with horses all over the world. These avenues came together and I […]
Horses are here to support our journey and assist us with moving towards a higher understanding and appreciation of life. For the most part loved and well cared for, horses still endure a cruel fate sometimes. They can end up abandoned, sent into merciless auctions and sold to meat buyers. While we may not be […]
A few weeks ago I was contacted by Lindsay who wanted to offer her mother, Julie, a photo shoot as a gift for Mother’s Day. They both board their pleasure horses at the picturesque Peace Valley Ranch. Lindsay spoke about their Friesian and Paint horses with great enthusiasm and I could feel her loving energy […]
A couple of months ago I started playing with the idea of getting a puppy. I did not know much about breeds, so I researched a few, with a preference for small, non shedding dogs. I stumbled upon the Havanese: a fluffy, extremely cute and friendly breed originating from Havana, Cuba and known to entertain […]
Horses are my special place. My fascination with them is endless.

While at the Sunnydale Stables in North Bay, I had the pleasure to spend some fun time with a lovely girl, Brianne, and the Gypsy Vanner horse she rides. His name is Apollo and he has one blue eye. I followed the two around in the pasture and in a little forest. I was really […]
The craft of farriery seems to go all the way back to the Celts who were protecting the feet of their horses with nailed-on shoes. Although their jobs have changed over the years, one thing remains the same: farriers are an irreplaceable part of the domestic life of the horse. A few days ago I […]
Alannah and Scott had a very unique wedding at the wonderful Callan Farm. All elements simply fit into place and the result was astounding! I could have not asked for more that day: beautiful, inspiring location, great weather and a fantastic wedding party! There were so many things around that made for unique backdrops: green […]
I love Gypsy Vanner horses: their long manes blowing in the week, their friendly personalities, their immense strength. A few weeks ago my dear friend Poppy invited me to accompany her on a little trip to Picton where she keeps one of her two horses: Belle. What a fantastic time that was! I played around […]
