"Valerie is amazing! She was fun, knew how to bring out the best in us and the results were fantastic!' 

-Aileen W.

Rough Coat Photography is located in Lancaster, PA and specializes in horse, dog and pet photography.  My photography sessions are held in the beautiful outdoors where horses and dogs love to be and where they can relax, have fun and show their true selves. 

We'll be having fun, too! 

EQUINE PHOTOGRAPHY

This is me and my amazing, wonderful and perfect horse, Sullivan.  He gave me so much love and happiness in countless ways: big laughs, huge smiles, beautiful quiet moments and also heart pounding joy.  So I truly get it - what it means to have that kind of partnership - it's one you have to experience to fully understand.  I will bring all of that knowledge to your equine photography session.  

My work has been published in:

DOG PHOTOGRAPHY SESSIONS

And where there are horses there are usually dogs. I know, I have four of them! We've had dogs for decades, so I know all the tricks and behaviors to bring out their fun, goofy and sweet selves.  They seriously have the best time at their session - they are outside, with their humans and getting to pose, run and play.
