A Lifelong Love of Horses and My Newest Muse: ASF Air Attack
I've been obsessed with drawing and painting horses ever since I can remember. Many of my family members probably still have cartoon-like drawings of horses from when I was little... because I liked drawing. So I drew a lot. And more than anything else, I liked drawing horses. So... que the endless horse drawings.
Once I got a little older, I started painting with oils and acrylics. I did plenty of acrylic paintings also featuring horses. Check this one out that my parents found in storage that I did for my grandpa who really enjoyed westerns:
A few years ago, I met a Paint horse named Wendy. After falling head over heels for her, Paint horses and horses with similar coat patterns became a new love of mine. I'm especially drawn to tobianos, pintos, and paints, of any and all breeds. I am currently unable to own my own horse, so I settle for painting them and getting all the kisses I can get whenever I happen to meet one. ;)
One day fairly recently, a gorgeous young stallion somehow made it onto my news feed on Facebook. It was love at first sight. He basically looks like a real-life Breyer model horse. He's freaking GORGEOUS, with fantastic coloring, a beautiful mover, all-around great at everything he does, and he's as docile as a lamb. He is now my newest celebrity crush.
I absolutely HAD to paint him.
I messaged his "mom" and asked if I could use one of her photos featuring his stunning confirmation. She delightfully granted me permission (THANK YOU AGAIN!!!). I set to work trying to capture his beautiful self. I will definitely be hanging this one in my studio! And I think I will be producing more fan art of this gorgeous boy. :)
Also - heads up all you horsey folks - his books are full for 2025 babies, but be on the lookout on his page for openings for 2026. You will want to get in on this one!
Allyson & Jackson - a Love Story
Allyson & Jackson are such a fun couple! Their rustic wedding was an absolute dream to shoot, and their entire wedding party, friends, family, and guests were so much fun to work with. This was my first time shooting at Bangor Elevator - and it was absolutely beautiful. Allyson’s attention to detail and rustic design was simple, yet elegant. Thank you both for choosing me to be your photographer!
