Being a photographer in a large family means that I have plenty of subjects to choose from, and it was always assumed I would do my baby sister’s senior portraits when the time came. So when I brought Riley back home, Charlie and I set out to wander the trails behind our neighborhood and sneak in some shots.
Looks like my baby sister is all grown up! Happy Friday y’all, and have a good weekend!
A has helped me a lot over the last couple years, from little things like videoing and holding horses, all the way up to taking care of Foster during his rehab while I was on vacation. So when she and her husband got their first pooch, I was more than excited to take some puppy pics for them. While I may have missed the early puppy phases, Gryff was quick to show off his youthful energy and boundless sense of humor.
I’m obviously off to Lexington tomorrow, so horsey updates coming next week! Keep your fingers crossed that I find my match, and watch instagram to follow along!
A couple weeks ago I wrote about sharing in my friend’s transformation into official dressage queendom. In between reading tests, videoing, bit checking, and the general hubbub of a show that size, I also got to do a bit of portrait taking and even the occasional action shot.
Hope you all have a lovely weekend!
A break from your normal house and pony show… My sister-in-law asked me to photograph her maternity session, and I’m so glad she did! Even though my research of maternity poses (and oh lordy, there are some awful maternity photos out there) will probably fill my social media feeds with all sorts of baby-related advertising, it was well worth it.
I’m scheduled to become an aunt this Monday! Happy weekend y’all!
Well, horse shopping has officially begun in earnest and since it feels like the start of something new, let’s take a look at the goals I set for 2016!

The House:
The Rest:
In a rare non-horsey session, I got to shoot my dear friend Derek, and his fiancé, Laura’s engagement portraits. It was a beautiful evening and I am so excited for these guys and their wedding this September!
Happy Friday, all!
This is just a PSA to say that I’m here, keeping head above water but no posts this week. Next week- hopefully pictures coming of the house on a hill 2.0!
I had the pleasure this week of photography a special pair. Izze is a wickedly talented young lady who dabbles in dressage and field hockey. Oceano is a 21 year old young Lusitano gelding that has taken her through third level. As Oceano looks to go to his forever home, Izze and her family wanted to get some images of the pair together outside of the dressage court.
Spring in the Carolinas is so beautiful, and this day was no different. Wishing these two the best of luck with everything, and thank you for letting me be a part of this special time in your lives! Have a great weekend all!
If you follow me on either facebook or instagram, you’ve probably been wondering who the little chestnut mare is that has been making appearances lately.
Darcy is a 15.3hh 11 year old registered draft cross mare. She belongs to a friend of a friend of mine, and is looking for a new home through no fault of her own.
The timing of all of this has been serendipitous, because of course as of recently, I am without my riding partner. So Darcy has come to me for a while, that I can get her in shape and hopefully play matchmaker with a wonderful new owner for her.
She’s been a ton of fun to ride, as #missdarcy knows all the first level dressage tricks and happens to love jumping. She’s been whipping me into shape for sure after all those months spent just playing around!
This week, I’ll take Darcy to So Pines and lesson with Bobby Costello. (3 times jumping in the last 8 months and I’m taking a lesson?! I must be mad) Should be lots of entertainment value there.
Have a happy weekend all!
(Special thanks to N for making this opportunity come together- love you!)
Before taking Foster to his Fosterparent, I had the husband snag a few photos of us together. It’s less common that I be in front of the camera, so I really appreciated being able to have a couple non-show photos of my Fosterpants and I.
To keep with the sentimental tone, here are some more homey images from right before Foster’s last trip, to the hospital in Tryon to have surgery.
And a few pics of other friends around the farm…
Happy Friday all!
