a day at the barn

Morning or evening sessions - I’ll shadow you as you move through your barn routine from start to finish.

documentary photo sessions

I spent years trying to make my photography fit alongside everyone else’s — polished, posed, perfect. But the truth is, what moves me has never been perfection, and my favorite memories are anything but glamorous. They are everyday happenings, infused with the smell of hay, the sound of hooves in a muddy pasture, and the way it feels to hug your horse on a cold morning, tucking your arms inside your their blanket to borrow a bit of their warmth.

Documentary photography honors those real, tangible moments. The quiet routines and behind-the-scenes rituals that imprint on our hearts and quietly shape how we see the world. These sessions aren’t about simulating perfection - they’re about preserving your everyday life with horses, exactly as it is today, so that your future self can step back in time and feel today all over again.

Documentary photography isn’t for everyone. If you’re looking for a session with precise grooming, multiple outfits, and a makeup artist, I can refer you to some outrageously talented photographers who will take photos of you that belong on the cover of a magazine.

But if you want to capture the subtle, perfectly imperfect details - the way your horse leans into you when you scratch their withers, the whorl you so carefully brush on their face, the tiny gestures that take you back to a specific moment in time — then I’m your girl. Because years from now, when life looks different, real moments are what you’ll want to remember - and I’d be honored to help you capture them.

 
 

about my photo sessions.

  • You can expect artsy angles, natural poses, somewhat moody colors, and a grainy film-inspired aesthetic.

  • Private sessions are scheduled around sunrise or sunset - these ‘golden hours’ are when the light is most flattering for you and your horse.

  • In addition to photographing horses I also work full time for a software company. This means that my scheduling is fairly limited and turnaround time for images can be up to 30 days.
