This week I had a short, but long driving trip to St. Augustine Beach, Florida. One of my favorite cities in the world, ranking with Paris and Rio de Janeiro, the powder soft sand and the historical district has so much charm and beauty. While it was mostly […]
I know..I know..I owe you a photo from yesterday. But sometimes life just seems to get in the way, and business needs to be taken care of first before play. Today a winter storm was to blow through, promising snow and then icy rain. Of course hearing the […]
This past week has been to try something new. Having several friends at the barn that have wanted portrait images of them with their horses, the opportunity arose to develop a new skill. Being a horseback rider myself, it helps me as a photographer in knowing when to […]
Enter with me, under the big tent of Cavalia, an equestrian extravaganza. A Canadian based company that puts on a show worthy of Cirque du Soleil, filled with beautiful horses, muscular men and stunning women. Today, we are getting the VIP treatment so let’s enter through the private entrance. […]

As unique as riding on horseback through the Luberon mountains in Provence, France. To experience the ochre cliffs and sand dunes of the Colorado Provencal outside of Rustrel, France. A truly special and once-in-a-lifetime experience.
Back in October, I introduced you to Nordeste, a Lusitano stallion who is a school master at Morgado Lusitano. This beautiful Portuguese hacienda standing high on a hilltop outside of Lisbon is home to a stellar Classical Dressage school for both local and international riders. Nordeste is just […]
