Read MoreI’ve never been a knick knacky kinda gal… personally, I like for the items I bring in to my home to have a story behind them. To bring back a memory of an experience I don’t want to forget. Most importantly to me, I want the décor in my home to mean something to my family. To make us smile, laugh, and to take us back to the moment.
Read MoreShe was planning an office renovation and wanted to add some equine inspired art to the walls of her office… “why not art of her own horses?” she thought.
Of course you can walk in to a home décor store and find pictures of horses… but do they have meaning behind them? Do they make you happy every time you see them? Do they elicit emotion? Do they bring back memories of the time YOU spend with horses? Maybe… but not like pictures of your own happy horses will!

Read MoreI met Melissa and the horse she spends her time with, Vega, through her friend Stephanie when they decided to have an “equestrian friends” photography session together. Seriously, how amazing is that and why aren’t more horse friends doing it? Kira with Onsite Muse came out to the barn to do everyone’s hair and makeup and while I was waiting to start the session I kept smiling at all the laughter coming from them as they talked about their favorite times together spent with horses! We did a combination of green space images and black background portraits and Melissa did a couple of wardrobe changes to to fit the mood of the day. I hope they always remember this day and the laughter when they look at the wall art we created together.

Read MoreDo you remember the very first horse you fell in love with? I do and so will Micah! Micah’s mom, Khim, contacted me to set up an equine photography session for her daughter and her favorite lesson horse, Chubbs. How cute is that name?! I really loved this session because it was not only fun to shoot, BUT Micah and my son, Easton are friends from pre-school. So imagine my surprise when I was reconnected with Khim and Micah and learned that Micah was now a horse crazy kiddo like me! Micah had her own ideas about the types of images that she wanted with Chubbs so we worked together to make those happen for her. Every time I look back on this session I will grin from ear to ear and remember how much this young lady loved this horse… I hope when she is grown with kids of her own, she will share these memories with her family.
Read MoreWhen I met with Kirsten to discuss her session goals for her equine photography portrait session with Fast Horse Photography, one thing was very clear. She really wanted to attempt to create an art piece that showcased her beautiful horses all together! Working with five horses can be a bit tricky when you want them all to stand quietly right up next to each other, but most importantly, one of her horses wasn’t doing well health wise. We worked together to create a timeframe that would work to pull it all together and I’m excited we were able to get it all done! I can’t wait to see it in print very soon!

I think it’s safe to say that Hannah will go far in this world and horses will be by her side!

I was beyond excited to meet with Addie and her mother, Khela to start the planning process for Addie’s horse photography session with her newly leased horse, Cruze. Addie and Cruze spend their days at Peak Performance Horses, so it was the perfect location for their photography session. On the day of the session, the weather was bleak looking. Very overcast, windy, with a chance of rain. Well rain it sure did! The rain didn’t stop Addie and Cruze from having fun and finishing their session together. Scroll through to spot the last image of the day, just as the rain started pouring down!
