About me

Hi, I’m Lauren! Two of my favorite things are photography and horses. Thankfully they go together like peanut butter and jelly. 

My photographic inspiration comes from my dad, who got me started with my first camera. He may not have understood my horse obsession, but he supported my equestrian journey with camera in tow. The treasure trove of photos I have today means the world to me, and I believe every equestrian should have quality photos to look back on. 

I love getting to know you and your horse, whether it’s a favorite lesson pony or the horse who’s been by your side for decades. My Pony Club background means I’m committed to making sure your session is safe and your horse is comfortable. Drawing on learnings from Shelley Paulson’s equine photography mentorship as well as 10+ years of experience, I aim to make you feel comfortable in front of the camera so you look like your best self. 

I want to capture your memories in a way that makes you feel warmth and joy every time you look at them. 

Here are some of the horse memories that shaped me:

With thanks to my parents for their years of support and my dad for these photos I love

Me as a very young toddler riding the mechanical Sandy horse ride at the grocery store. My brother stands on a ledge beside us, joining in the fun
Me at 5ish years old on a live pony carousel ride at a fair. I turn to look over my shoulder at the camera from the saddle with a big smile on my face. I'm wearing a very 90s pink windbreaker
Film portrait of me as a teen with my chestnut mare. Our faces are lit by warm, gentle light that quickly recedes to blackness behind us. I have my hair in a pony tail and wear a t-shirt from a Lipizzan show
A silhouette of my horse and me sharing a moment in the cross ties. She arches her neck to the side and gently touches a brush I'm holding with her nose. I lean in toward her with my helmet on my head
Winter portrait of me on my chestnut mare. We're riding out in a snowy landscape and stop for a moment to pose for the camera. She's very cute and fuzzy
Panning shot of my chestnut mare and me galloping in a green field. She eagerly moves forward with ears perked and half-arabian tail flying. Our bodies are sharp but the blur of her legs and the background shows our speed. I'm casually dressed in a h
Flying over a small cross country coop jump on a black draft cross mare with a white blaze. The jump is probably 2 foot 6 and we're schooling in casual attire. She tucks her knees beautifully as she clears the jump
