I have owned
and ridden horses most of my life, so when I began taking photographs, specializing in equines was the
natural fit. I derive great pleasure in capturing the beauty of the equine form in all its varieties,
from a majestic draft stallion, to a Thoroughbred race horse, to a small pony. I shoot steeplechasing,
fox hunting, hunter pace and eventing extensively, as well as horses at liberty. I am available for
farm and portrait shoots, and now pet portraits, in northern central Virginia. I am proud to donate
photographs to Fauquier SPCA and Thoroughbred Retirement Foundation as well as to participate in TRF Montpelier's annual Art at the Barn fundraiser.
I
continually seek to improve my work by attending photography classes and seminars and maintaining
membership in the Equine Photographers Network and the National Association of Photoshop Professionals.
I am also a member of Women's Horse Industry and Virginia Equine Artists Association.
