Winter

I had the pleasure of photographing this sweet little rescue pup for her mom while making my annual Northern California roadtrip this year! Winter has been with the family for only a few short months, but has made a drastic turnaround in appearance and personality. It was so fun working in the backyard with her and some of they stunning lavender plants.

Ally + Carisio

When I say this session revived my creative heart, man it was so amazing!! I’ve had the opportunity to photograph at the beautiful facility of Rancho Sierra Vista in San Juan Capistrano quite a few times, but never in the location I used for Ally and Carisio’s session. Instead of the typical sunset time slot, we opted to shoot closer to sunrise and let me tell you; total game changer for this facility!

Pinch of Thyme

Black Backgrounds are always fun sessions for me because I have the chance to capture so many different personalities and demeanors. Hunter/Jumpers tend to knock these sessions out of the park and this stunning boy was no exception to that. I’m grateful for the time I spent with Pinch of Thyme and thrilled to have his session on the blog today!

Rachael + Kyle

I had the pleasure of capturing some of these sweet moments for Rachael and Kyle a few years back! Seeing as I’m horrible at blogging, I’m trying to play a little catch up.

Their wedding is now only a few months away and I’m grateful that we had the chance to capture this shoot together.

The Phillips girls have had relationships with horses ever since they were very young. It wasn’t until recently that their father decided he wanted to dabble more in the equestrian world.
