Tomorrow I will be shooting the Ocean Sky Equestrian Center Dressage Show...it's their first show and I'm very excited to see the facilities and all of the great horse/rider teams that I know will be showing. Eventually they will also be offering combined training events, which will be exciting to photograph, and maybe someday show my horse, Sophie in!
You'll be able to find the pictures here, after I get them posted...
Saturday we did a Christmas shoot...these are a few pictures from the day...it's about as festive as a horse can get in Florida! I got a couple of halters specifically for Christmas shoots as they're a lot of fun.
The last of the photo challenge pictures! Soon after Thanksgiving we made the 18 hour drive from Ohio to Florida with my Arabian/Trakehner mare, Sophie. She handled the trip like a pro and is now settling into her new Florida home. I hope to get some pictures of her this weekend to share with everyone.

I've always had an appreciation for beautiful horses and good photography. I grew up riding and showing in a variety of events, from western pleasure to dressage, while making my start in 4-H. It wasn't until the Air Force sent me to Korea that I discovered a love for photography that transcended the simple point and shoot cameras with which I was familiar. I bought my first digital SLR to capture the stunning Korea scenery and just kept learning from there.
I especially enjoy capturing the relationship between horse and rider as I know what a special bond that is, having owned my Appendix Quarter Horse "Jessie" for the last 15 years. I now focus on dressage but enjoy watching a well trained team from any discipline! I am excited to offer my photography services to Florida with the help of my husband and business partner Craig. I am available for farm calls, portrait sessions, and horse shows.
