Behind the Lens
Meet Kimberly
For Kimberly, photographing horses is deeply personal. Her work brings together years behind the camera, a lifelong connection to horses, and more than three decades spent caring for people as a nurse.
That experience shapes the way she works today, with patience, intuition, guidance, and genuine attention to the person and horse in front of her camera.
You do not need to know how to pose or what to do in front of the camera. Kimberly will guide you through the experience while leaving room for the quiet, unscripted moments that make the relationship with your horse uniquely yours.
