I am an aspiring equine photographer.  My obsession with horses began when I was a little girl.  When I was five years of age, my aunt and grandma enrolled me in a tiny tot horse-riding program.  My love and passion for horses took off on the first day and has not slowed down since.

I grew up riding English and showing in the hunter jumper circuit.  I went to a local farm not knowing I would find the redhead mare of my dreams, truly my heart horse.  At the time I found my mare, I was fourteen.  My best friend wanted to go to the barn down the road from us.  She knew the owners, so, of   course I said I would go with her.  What horse lover would not want to go to a beautiful barn full of horses?  We talked with the owner and she said she had a mare she wanted to lease, because the horse was surrendered by her previous owner and was not earning her keep.  Like the little brat I was, I immediately asked the color of the horse.  We all want a flashy horse!  The owner responded “red roan”.  I was obsessed with Appaloosa’s so I was a little leery of her answer.  I took a deep breath and walked to her stall….#42 to be exact.  After shuffling my feet down the long, long aisle, I reached the stall and her name card read “Cinnamon”.  “What a basic name,” I thought.  I took another deep breath and peaked in the stall.  There stood a small, red, fat and sassy mare glaring at me from across the stall.  Without hesitation, I said yes. I want her. She is mine.  Cinnamon, you are mine.  Fifteen years later, that crazy, moody, redhead mare is now twenty-eight years old and still with me.  My love for her has grown everyday.

After spending years with her in my backyard, brushing her every morning and watching her grow old and grey I knew I needed a camera of my own.  I wanted to document and cherish all the unforgettable memories of Cinnamon for years to come.  It was then I realized I wanted to give other families something I wish I had when I was younger……..beautiful, timeless photographs of their faithful four legged companions forever.
