I caught the horse bug as a very young child, and it hasn’t left over 20 years later. I spent a lot of time simply being with the horses, noticing and learning them. My father mentioned to me often how much attention I paid and made comments on how the horse was feeling from their body language and mannerisms barely out of my toddler years. I’ve dedicated a lot of time into being the best horseman possible, which I believe has become an asset for my equine and western photography.
When I was 14 I was gifted a one step above point and shoot camera, after this I upgraded to an entry level crop sensor in high school. I didn’t have very nice gear until as of the last few years which I believe now, forced me to learn and use what I had available and get creative. I want to share what I have learnt and apply it to get your hobby or business elevated.
I am absolutely thrilled to be offering mentoring opportunities. I love to help others learn and I want to help you achieve your goals and dreams. In person and online mentorship available.
