Some horses simply take up space in a pasture.
Others take up space in our hearts.

Imagine walking into your home and seeing your horse displayed as fine art — their strength, beauty, horsonality, and spirit preserved in a portrait that becomes part of your story…because the horses who shape our lives deserve more than a photo on our phone.

Every horse has a story worth remembering. If you’d like to create something timeless with yours, send me a message and we’ll begin planning your portrait session.

🐾 Tiko 🐾

SAR K9 Tiko is half of a highly trained team, working alongside his handler through countless hours of training with repetition, problem solving and trust building. When they’re not on an active search, they’re training. And when they’re done training…they train some more.

After successfully locating the source of odour, the reward is his toy — and Tiko proudly shows it off.

Tiko and his handler volunteer their time to locate missing persons in the Province of BC. Drop some 🐾 or a 🧡 below to show some love for our K9 Teams.

✨Thompson Okanagan Working Equitation Show Recap ✨

A few weeks ago, I had the honor of photographing the Thompson Okanagan Working Equitation Show. It was an unforgettable three-day event that brought together some very passionate riders, beautiful horses, and an inspiring community of volunteers and supporters.

This wasn’t just any show—it was a 2026 World Qualifier for Juárez, Spain. I feel fortunate to have witnessed all the Masters and the two qualifying rides—Congratulations to Sarah Bradley (CAD) and Kenton Wright (USA) for qualifying for Spain 2026.

Rider galleries are now live! If you rode in the show, there’s a good chance you’ll find yourself in the gallery as I captured many rides.

Enjoy!

“A horse is the projection of people’s dreams about themselves – strong, powerful, beautiful – and they have the capability of giving us escape from our mundane existence” —Pam Brown

Ariel – beauty and grace. There’s something timeless about the way a horse stands in stillness. She knows she’s art and has hoofprints on my soul.

I love honoring connections in a way that last a lifetime. Do you have a heart horse and would love your own personal equestrian art? Let’s chat.
