An Artistic take on the western life

EQUINE PHOTOGRAPHER

CAPTURING MOMENTS THAT MATTER

Art comes in many different forms – mine just happens to include your story in it. Artful, soulful, emotive imagery that tells a story that's meant to be remembered. The big moments and the little in-betweens, that's what I live to do.

HI, I’M MICHELLE – LET’S GET TO KNOW EACH OTHER

Hello! I’m Michelle, a professional Equine Portrait and Western Lifestyle Photographer from Waelder, Texas, about an hour southeast of Austin. I have spent my entire life in the equine industry. Photography did not become a major part of my career until late 2020 following a horse accident that forced me to pursue other avenues of income while I had to take a break from training professionally. I firmly believes that out of every tragedy comes something beautiful, and for me that was photography.

Here’s What I Can Do For You

BUILD CONFIDENCE

CAPTURE CONNECTION

EVOKE EMOTION

If you’re looking for a friend first, photographer second – that’s what I’m here for! The confidence you show in your photos comes from the ease of experience I can provide for you. When you and your equine partner are confident together, it’ll show in your photos!

With a lifetime of experience in the equine industry, I know firsthand the emotion shown between you and your equine partner. Capturing this emotion is what I strive to bring out in every session – it’s a bond that only you two know, and I want to capture that.

There’s nothing quite like the connection between you and your equine. Building that connection has a story of its own, and my goal as an equine photographer is to cultivate a space where that connection can show! That’s the story I want to help you tell.
