I always say that I can never pick the number one image, but this year I had one that really stood out. Read more about it below. Thank you to every single person who I have worked with this year that made 2025 so amazing!

Bri, Willy and Brinley - This image really embodied a feel that I had been going for all year. Fancy and western together, almost blending an aspect of each of the 2 disciplines I worked with most this year, barrel racers and hunters. Bri is also one of the team JDP second shooters so if she looks familiar, you've probably seen her around the shows with me this year!

We kept having a streak of bad weather and this session had to be rescheduled twice but I'm glad we had the beautiful evening we did for this session!

This amazing New Forest Pony stallion is a literal dream pony. He was imported last year to join the breeding program at Royal T Sport Horses. His first foals are hitting the ground this year and they are all wonderful! He is a personal favorite of mine (shhh, don't tell the others) because all he wants is cuddles and treats. I look forward to seeing him in the show ring soon!

These two had such a great connection and I'm honored to have captured these images for them as Polly was nearing the end of her time here with us.
