Rochester, NY equestrian photographer dedicated to creating elegant portraits that celebrate the partnership between horse and rider.
Horses have been an integral part of my life for as long as I can remember. With experience across a wide range of disciplines— from English hunter jumpers to Western AQHA and reining— I have developed a profound understanding of the unique bond between horse and rider. Based in Rochester, NY, I have had the privilege of photographing horses all across the United States, capturing everything from intimate schooling shows to prestigious NRHA, USEF, and AQHA events. With over seven years of experience in the equestrian photography industry, I have gained a comprehensive perspective on the sport, and I am skilled at capturing its true essence. My lifelong passion for horses, combined with my hands-on experience riding from a young age, allows me to deeply understand the intricate nature of the horse’s movement and temperament. As an equestrian photographer, my goal is not only to capture the dynamic action but also the quiet, poignant moments that define your unique journey. I specialize in creating authentic, timeless images that highlight the strength, grace, and bond you share with your horse— moments that will last a lifetime.

My portrait sessions are centered on creating a comfortable and enjoyable atmosphere where clients can truly be themselves. I believe that the best portraits come from genuine moments, so i take the time to get to know each of my clients and understand their personalities, relationships, and stories. This allows me to guide them naturally during the session, encouraging authentic interactions and expressions.
Every horse and rider partnership tells a story — not just in the big, dynamic moments, but in the quiet connections that often go unnoticed. My equestrian portrait sessions capture these moments with heart and artistry.
