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!

Her first horse was an Appaloosa named Dandy. After having Dandy for about a year, her parents got her a 6 year old Thoroughbred named Willy. Jane and Willy competed in horsemanship, eq, hunter under saddle, and hunter/jumper classes, winning numerous high point awards at the Mercer Island Saddle Club. She sold Willy

Dani Barker & her two boys, Eddy & Mo, photographed in Newberg, OR. Dani rides under the guidance of Savannah McGuire at Ambition Performance Horses. Dani has owned Eddy for 12 years now. In 2023, they were Reserve World Champions at the Pinto World Show. This year, they were top 10 in the AQHA Level 1 Ranch Riding and a finalist in the AQHA Lvl 1 Rookie Horsemanship. Eddy is a once-in-a-lifetime horse for Dani, her true heart horse, and I can completely see why. He's got t

Katie & Vinny, the perfect little bay gelding, photographed in Belgrade, MT. Katie has owned Vinny since he was a yearling, and I'm so grateful to have been able to capture them each year as they grow together!

Kate & Floyd, photographed at her own Double R Stables in Belgrade, Montana. Kate is the owner of Bradley Realty, where she helps fellow Montana lovers find their perfect property. Montana really gave us all the seasons for their late summer session!

Lindsay & Lola (Lola Z, a 2003 Holsteiner mare from Canada), photographed in Billings, Montana. Lindsay started riding when she was nine after moving to California. She began riding western on quarter horses, then switched to Arabians throughout college, and finally landed on hunter jumper, where she found a love of warmbloods. Lola came into her life in early 2019 after I’d lost her mare Khallie the previous fall. Her friend, whom she met through her Equine PT program, f

Paige and Pearl, the perfect match, photographed in Bozeman, Montana. Paige showed in the AQHA as a youth, where she was lucky enough to share the ring with incredible horses such as Impulsive Smoke, Amblin Impulsion, and Skys Blue Bently. Once she moved to Bozeman for college, she found herself missing horses. She went out to search for a younger AQHA show prospect but she ended up coming home with a tiny, grade cremello pony. They're truly the perfect match and were so fun
