Nicole & Jonah Heinl, photographed in Loxahatchee, FL, with their two mares, Heidi and Stella. Nicole Schultz is an equestrian photographer who's had a camera in her hands for as long as horses have been part of her life. Growing up, there were never quite enough funds to fully support riding, so she often traded photography for lessons and show opportunities. One day, an older jumper mare named High Heels (“Heidi”) arrived at the barn where she occasionally took lessons. F

Alex Valle and Heza Kitten (Kitty), photographed at Williams Sporthorses in Wellington, FL. Usually, I will write a bio for each client based on the info they gave me, but I don't think I could write anything better than what Alex already gave me. So, in her own words, a little bit about her story with Kitty... My name is Alex. Like many horse-crazy little girls, I always dreamed of having a horse of my own- and that dream finally came true at 33...

I spent 7 days at the magical wonderland of Ant's Reserve in South Africa with Yoalis and Tony (plus my husband, mom, and 3rd grade teacher and her partner... we had the best group ever) and we're all already dreaming of going back. I met Yoalis earlier this year in Miami, Florida, for her session with her gentle giant, Tahoe. I knew immediately after meeting her that we were going to get along really well; so when she and her husband decided to join us for this African horse

Autumn Patterson & Waylon (Legacy Won) photographed at Lucky 13 Ranch in Arlington, WA. Swayze and Comanche joined in for black backgrounds as well!

Bre & Cole Stuart, photographed in Fleming, Colorado, on their very own property with their dream wrap-around porch and old red barn. Bre and Cole used to be my neighbors; we'd do an annual shoot together somewhere super cool (we did downtown Wenatchee, the Columbia River, downtown Leavenworth... very, very fun shoot locations), and I'd call on them when I needed models for various reasons. Now that they've moved across the country, I must admit I am selfishly sad about it, b

Anthea Teska & her Thoroughbred gelding, Mason, photographed in Saratoga, Wyoming. Anthea has been riding her whole life. She did Pony Club, 4-H, Huntseat, Saddleseat, trail, horse bowl, horse judging, hippology... if it's horse-related, she will be there! Her biggest achievement with Mason is taking him off the track and making him into a hunter horse. She's owned him since he was 3. He grew up on the track, but was deemed too slow, so he never raced! They share a special

Karen Griffith & her two perfect boys, Black Jack and Ash, photographed in Cashmere, WA. It was only 10 years ago that Karen decided she wanted a horse. That soon turned into living in a tiny home connected to a barn and indoor arena. She got Ash first, the handsome grey Arabian. Black Jack came next, and has been her go to horse for everything. She loves him especially for his loving and sweet demeanor. With Black Jack, Karen showed in working equitation under the guidanc

Michelle Parker & Ivy (Mann Im Blonde), photographed at Arbor Crest Wine Cellars in Spokane, WA. Ivy is only 3 years old, but she handled being in a new setting all by herself like a seasoned pro. Michelle purchased Ivy as a yearling from Kelsey Masterson and has high hopes for their future together. She plans to show her at the ABRA World Show next year. I can't wait to cheer them on!

Emily & Garrett Thurner, one of the coolest couples I know, photographed at their ranch in Wynnewood, OK. Garrett is the owner and trainer at GT Performance Horses, producing top level reiners and cutters. I had such a fun morning with them while they worked cows and spun around on their reiners!

Korin & her family, photographed in Georgetown, Texas. This was Korin's 3rd session with me. The first was in Montana, second was in Washington, and now in Texas for her third. This time she included her whole family; Will, Rowan, their perfect horses Diva and Bo, and their pups, Kooper and Eris (they only made a few appearances since it was so hot!) Diva, the palomino, is the newest member of their family and they all fight over who gets to ride her. She is so loved!
