We are excited to showcase the various riding disciplines embraced by our residents, as well as the huge selection of breeds, different ages of riders, and so much more.

special project opportunities
20 over 20 senior project
Our equine friends in their teens, twenties, and beyond are some of our most special companions.
They have stories leading up to this point, and I want to give them the recognition they deserve.
They should have beautiful legacy photographs that will preserve those memories for a lifetime and beyond.
I will find out all the details about their history, character and personality, and what you love most about your relationship with them. Then I will capture those important traits and qualities in photographic art that you will truly treasure. Don't let time run out, don't wait for the perfect time or season.

"Thank you so much, Sue, for capturing out true essence with these photos. We each have our own passion, golf for Ron and horses for me, and you were able to put them together in a creative and fun way that truly depicts us as a couple."
Kathleen Sigurdson
They are wonderful. It was very difficult to choose from the plethora of beautiful pictures. She took pictures I didn't know she took and they were some of my favorites!
She was easy to schedule a session and viewing times. I enjoyed her company and made me at ease during the photo shoot.
I would highly recommend Sue to anyone who wanted beautiful pictures of their horses.
Melissa Boerst
"I love my canvas wall art collection that I have hanging in my home. I was worried that I wasn't prepared and it wouldn't be easy to do, but Sue did a great job helping me be relaxed and my animals looking great! I would recommend her to anyone and everyone!
you'll hear from me shortly.
thank you!
