“We were together, I forget the rest.”

Last fall I was honored to capture and celebrate the engagement of my friends Erik + Amanda and their beautiful Whippets’, Margot + Etta. 🍂🧡🍁

Last fall, Emma reached out wanting to have me create some personal branding images for her equine bodywork business @thefunctionalequine combined with personal portraits with her two retired horses, Ricco + Maverick.

If you’re looking to update your branding imagery with lived-in, emotive imagery, get in touch via my website.

Most of the elements that I look for when making i

Most of the elements that I look for when making images at my sessions are shapes, light, details, movement and emotion/connection and then I try to incorporate as many of those elements into an image that presents itself.

Elements I incorporated from CarliAnn’s session:

Slide 1: shape, expression
2: movement, light, symmetry
3 top: shape, movement, frame within a frame
3 bottom: light, emotion
4: detail, shape
5: portrait, perspective
6: movement, symmetry, perspective
7: portrait (Danny looks like a STUD) but I liked the tiny bit of movement in the hind leg. I delivered a square standing image as well.
8: expression, movement, shape
9: emotion, perspective

While I look to incorporate these elements during the session, I shoot at different focal lengths to build the story and bring cohesion between the images. I typically utilize dual cameras loaded with @sigmaphoto 35 1.4 and @sigmaphoto 70-200 f2.8 lenses. This enables me to shoot my images close, medium and wide all without having to change out a lens because you’re constantly moving when working with animals.
