Probably all equine photographers started out their lives as "horse crazy" youngsters. I am no exception. How fortunate for me that I grew up with horses and have been able to develop my passion into a career.

My family owned a farm and several riding horses. We also boarded a few for folks who lived in town. It seems all our family activities revolved around pleasure riding or horse shows. Name a breed and one probably lived at our house, although I quickly learned to prefer the smooth gaits of Tennessee Walking Horses.

It is not always easy to make a career out of a passion, but surely a bit of divine intervention was at work in my life. Soon after I graduated college, I began working for an equine breed journal. I started in the accounts receivable department and worked my way up to managing editor. Over the 26 years I was there, I discovered both a love and a natural talent for capturing an animal's unique personality and "look at me!" attitude through the lens of a camera. As a horse and animal lover, I can just "see" their personalities waiting to be captured.

Today, trail riding continues to rank high on my list of favorite activites, and the walking horse is still my breed of choice but, like other horse-lovers, I have a deep appreciation for ALL breeds that never waivers. Each has its own endearing characteristics and unique style, and the opportunity to catch their spirit with a camera brings me great joy.
