I think this was the HOTTEST and SUNNIEST I have ever done photos at Erin Longworth Performance Horses, literally we had paper towels for the sweat (sorry, TMI).

Maddie and Maya had an excellent time posing for their annual Congress pics. I can't beleive my first photos of Maddie started back in 2017!! My how she has grown and my photography too! I'll have to do a timeline post once I find them all ;)

Thanks for a great time girls, good luck at Congress!

PS. If you give a horse a cupcake, it's gonna get messy!

📸 New England Working Equitation at Center for America's First Horse photos are ready!

I absolutely love Working Equiation and being able to capture one hyper-locally was an amazing opportunity! Stephanie Hayes was recently featured on the news as being part of the first US Working Equitation Team fow Worlds, so maybe you've heard of this incredible event. At either rate, it was wonderful to be back at the Center and to capture NEWE riders again.

📸 Connemara & Dales Show Photos are ready!

Managed to edit and upload 3,067 photos by my delivery date! I appreciate everyone's patience as I took a wee bit of time to deal with a nasty injury that required some rest and care. I am glad I give myself padding, but I usually like to overdeliver when I can! I did my best to organize into the proper classes. I am HAPPY to do additional edits if you'd like.

At Center for America's First Horse today capturing a New England Working Equitation show. Probably one of my favorite events to capture and Stephanie's arena could not be more beautiful. I'm happy to be back!

You may have seen Stephanie in the news recently, she's heading back to Europe next week to train for Worlds for the first ever team for the US. She will be training as an alternate- a huge feat!

UPDATE: I apologize for my absence over the several days. I had an injury that required a trip to urgent care, and I've been focusing on resting and recovering. I'm doing okay!

I've continued working on photos, but I do have a backlog of messages, emails, and inquiries to catch up on in just a few days time! Y'all are busy wanting photos, and I love that!

If you've reached out about booking a session, thank you for your patience. I'll be responding as soon as I can, and rest assured we'll find a time that works. I always leave time in my calendar.

For those waiting on horse show photos; You may have noticed I started uploading galleries. Please bear with me, rural Vermont internet isn't the fastest, so uploads happen in batches. I'll make a post once the whole show is completely finished. I also still have *quite a few images left to edit*, so if you purchase photos early, you may not see all of them yet. I'm still targetting to complete by the end of the week, my timeline has not changed.

Thank you all so much for your patience, understanding, and support as I juggle the craziness of life + a nasty injury. I truly appreciate it!

Last Saturday the weather looked atrocious and we feared we may have to cancel or move our session. Thankfully, we took a chance and braved the showers for a wildfire-haze and diffuse sun maternity equine session. Elizabeth and Michael were troopers and I'm so excited to share these photos! Congrats you two!!!

I will be at the Connemara Pony show in Woodstock today catching all riders again! I had such a blast last year!

* Digital downloads, high quality prints, and other photo products will be available for purchase directly from my website.
*Purchased images will be delivered via email with an easy download link.

🚫 Please don’t screenshot images you haven’t purchased; your support helps keep my small business running and ensures I can keep capturing your horses in action!

Just a stunning Vermont Wedding, with incredible weather, at Lake Morey this weekend. Congrates to Kylee and Evan. What a beautiful day and such a great crowd of people. We sure had some fun!

Just a few of many more to come for this wonderful couple. Thank you for having me.

The Hidden Acres photos came out beautifully, despite the weather. Such an amazing property, community, and people. I absolutely had *the best* chili I have ever had (and not just because it was a chilly day!).

The Gallery is live, and your wonderful host, Helen, has made it so all digital downloads are free and you can purchase physical photo products.
