Why Horses?

That's like asking me why I breathe air. I need horses in my life. They are the ultimate in beauty, intelligence, grace, and heart, and they are what make my life complete. From day one I have been obsessed and absorbed in equines! I considered many careers as I was growing up, like veterinarian or professional trainer. Photography happened by chance for me, we had several horses that I would photograph for fun or to use for advertising them. Gradually I became more skilled at getting the right angles and timing, and creating little works of art with my horses. Friends and family suggested I try professional photography, and I thought that was great, but it had to be with my equine friends! The rest is  history so to speak, I set up a website, invested in better equipment, and worked hard to serve my customers. Currently, I am working full time photographing horse shows, endurance rides, personal farm calls, stallion promotions, and professional horse trainers.

What are your goals?

One of my short term goals is to build a nice library of stock images and I have a good start on that thanks to the IHPA Bluebonnet Photo Shoot. My biggest long term goal is to become one of the top photographers in the business. I plan on doing that by working hard, staying busy, making customers happy, and by expressing my personal vision of horses through my photography.
