Wow! I hired Michelle to do our family photos. In prior years, this has been a very stressful event. It was a completely different experience with Michelle! She had great ideas for poses & backgrounds. The problem now is choosing which ones to print and frame! The search is over for a great photographer!

When you fill out the contact form I will reach out to you within 48 hours. When we chat I want to know your why. I want to know about your heart horse. The day in the life at the barn and how you feel while riding or hunting. I want to know what sets you free when you are out in the field on the range. In addition to which collection you are interested in. I want you to paint the picture of your vision and the wonderful wall art we will create together.
Are we the right fit?!
The Process
Choose your favorite location or two of my favorite county parks, Broemmelsiek & Indian Camp Creek. Both have amazing views, woodland terrains, flower gardens and wide open fields. Not quite your jam and prefer your sanctuary?! No problem, I will travel out to you and love to personalize your art work using your fields, equipment, and barns!
Lets talk location
After our call and you decided on location. I highly recommend booking with me ASAP. Some seniors, riders and hunters even book me for their date before narrowing down the details or when they know the date of their next show!
I don't mean this to be any pressure, but I book very early on (normally 6+ months in advance for peak dates). So, book as soon as you can to reserve your date! There's only one of me, and dates fill up fast.
Let's get you booked!
Now this is where we will have some fun! While I am sure you are super pumped and ideas are flowing it is time to come together and create the vision. Over the next few weeks we will collaborate through a mood board designed for you! We will discuss outfits, the different choices I offer for your wall art, where you want to place the wall art in addition to a few emails with some expert advice on how best to prepare for your upcoming shoot.
Let's do this!
How exciting!! It is the day of your session and time to have some fun! Be sure to have checked off your checklist for both your horse and self. Grab any last minute items and lets make some wall art!
I will arrive in blue jeans and boots ready to go. Take a deep breath, be present and lets enjoy our time together creating lasting memories.
Your Session
The delivery
After your session, the excitement to receive your pictures and pick out your wall art will be intense. We will set up a time for your image reveal 3 weeks after your session (it can be in person or over zoom). From there we will narrow down your favorites, revisit your walls and discuss how you would like to utilize your wall art credit in addition to purchasing any additional prints.
I can't wait to deliver your artwork and see those spaces filled!
Questions?
- Are digitals included? Each photo selected for print will come with a digital file for sharing on social media.
- What am I able to do with my print credit? All print credits will cover certain items chosen by me and explained at our initial call. However, if you want to use your credit towards something else you are welcome to, but it can ONLY be used for the wall art I offer.
- Are payment plans available? Yes, payment plans are available
I want to hear about your journey in the saddle. How long you have been riding? What is your horse’s personality like? Which style do you ride? What is your favorite outing with your pet? Their favorite toy or treat? As well as all your questions!
I am here to help while you enjoy the process. Just use the form below to get in touch!
