Equine Facility Photography
Documenting Barns, Arenas & Equestrian Estates

My connection to horses started long before I picked up a camera. I grew up surrounded by them — my mother kept two horses, and I spent my childhood mucking stalls, hauling hay, riding, and brushing. In high school I played polo, rode english, and rode like a mad man through the mountains of Tennessee. Later in life I had my own farm with horses, up early every morning to feed and talk to them, and I vetted all our horses myself; I was never so dirty, tired, or happy as I was in those days. We had a national champion Arabian, and when she gave birth I was there to help pull the foal into the world. I love horses and horse people — I'm most comfortable around animals of all kinds, and truth be known, if I had to live life all over again, I'd do it as a large animal vet. Horses are family to me. I shot a few hunter jumper events, but the same shot over and over just wasn't very interesting to me. Then I got a call to photograph a barn, and I jumped at the chance — the rest is history. I've since been fortunate to be published in every horse magazine I've come across. Every equine facility tells a design story — about ventilation, natural light, sightlines, safety, and the daily rhythm of life with horses. I bring that same editorial eye to equine projects that I use across architectural, interior, and aerial photography, translating an equine architect's or builder's intent into images that read clearly to owners, judges, and the design and construction trades that depend on them.

From a private backyard barn to a full-scale competition arena, I document equine facilities at every scale — the intimate, material-level detail of a stall front or tack room, and the sweeping aerial context of a complete farm layout, where the barn, arena, paddocks, and pastures all read as one design.
