BOND SESSIONS

Luke was imported from Portugal in 2020, but it was in January 2024 of when his path finally crossed with Maddie and the connection was instantaneous. “I had always heard the saying that you’ll just ‘know’ when you find the right horse,” Maddie says. “I had never experienced it myself—until meeting Luke.” Luke’s sweet, calm demeanor has […]

Golden hour light wraps everything in warmth, from the grass, to the breeze, to the outline of a dark bay gelding’s nose as he reaches out to the person who knows him best. That’s Boone. Or, as Shannon calls him, Petunia, Tune, and Tunetune. You can see it in those expressive eyes, Boone is sensitive, […]

When the skies opened up during Kate and Eko’s session, she could have called it. She could have asked to wait it out or moved to an indoor location. Instead, she did what horse girls do best, she rode it out. And honestly, I’m so glad she did. As the rain fell around them, it […]

When I first talked to Morgan, she shared two goals for her shoot. First, she wanted to capture her relationship with her off track Thoroughbred partner, Pat. Pat (racing name Whiskey Sour) is a bonafide “war horse” – a term given to Thoroughbreds who have started in more than 50 races in their lifetime. Pat […]

I was nervous when I shot this session. It sounds oddly brash to say I’m not typically nervous before a session, but after a certain number of years you become far more excited than you are nervous. However, it was this shoot that I felt the familiar butterflies of my early shooting days, because all […]

I met Megan back in 2019 – a few years after I opened my doors – to photograph portraits of her two sweet horses Reagan and Mattie. She was my first client in Virginia and has since become one of my most enthusiastic cheerleaders of Bethany P Photography. When she asked me to return to […]

Sweet souls seem to attract sweet souls. Leah is one of the sweetest (not to mention photogenic) and Tibi reflects the same. I first met both covering them as a private photographer at Dressage at Devon. I knew based on that weekend how special the bond and journey was for them both. It’s not just […]

Wanna incorporate your horse into your senior session? Wanna bring your horses on campus? Wanna turn heads of all the other seniors and photographers on site? I AM HERE FOR IT. I’ve known Hannah for a few years now – 3 to be exact. How do I know? Because my three year old pony Quinten […]

You know how people light up when they talk about their horse? Patti is one of those people. When I met Patti and Jagger, I was greeted with a warm hug and a bright unflappable attitude – sunshine even on the sunniest of days. And I walked away from her session having felt I might […]

I’m a sucker for moss-covered oak trees, which translates to being entirely in love with Ocala. Alyssa and Timon were the perfect love story to tell beneath the moss in the golden glow of late evening light. WHAT DO YOU LOVE MOST ABOUT YOUR HORSE? “I love Timon’s personality the most. He is uniquely and […]
