recent : horsing around

It is so wonderful when my job as a photographer and my love of horses coverge into a fun adventure! Last year, Our State Magazine asked me to shoot a portion of the August photo essay and I was jumping up and down with excitement! And I sure didn’t have to look very far to find some inspiring equestrians. Fellow Flintrock Farm boarders, Robin Brueckman + Dan Stephens, kindly agreed to let me follow them on their equine endeavours.

Enjoy these beautiful horses and their partners!
