HOW FAR DO YOU TRAVEL?

My studio is located in Manheim, PA so my clients are often in the Mid-Atlantic, and I primarily work in Pennsylvania and Maryland. NEW for 2025: I'll be offering regular sessions in the Woodstock, VT area.

I love nothing more than hopping on a plane to my next adventure. No matter where you live, feel free to reach out—I’ve captured sessions in Scotland, South Carolina, and Montana, and I’d be thrilled to see your special corner of the world.

A Bit About Me

I grew up in Philadelphia, and after college, I spent ten years living in Manhattan, where I worked for ABC News. However, my summers were always spent outdoors—whether on my grandparents' farm, at our cottage in Eagles Mere, or working in Yosemite National Park. I've discovered that my heart is happiest in the great outdoors, surrounded by dogs and with horses to ride.

For over 25 years, I've called Lancaster, PA, home, where I live with my wonderful husband, three dogs, a cat, and five chickens. I make time for riding, travel, and adventure whenever I can.

Meet my crew below...

My Crew

Pocket

My little shadow. Impossibly tiny, sweet and fearless. Loves his cat, quite a few dogs and all people. 100% terrier when it comes to fast, furry things.

Roamer

My husband's hunting companion. He is a lovely boy in every possible way. Nickname: Mr. Perfect.

Tater Tot

Spicy and sweet. Expert-level at burrowing under blankets. Is totally deaf until she hears the refrigerator door opening.

My Heart-Horse, Sullivan

He was a pure joy to ride, travel with and just be around. Eventing, hunter trials, paperchases and more - he was game for everything and I miss him beyond words.

Twofer

Pocket's cat. So named because they came as a package deal. Will disappear like a puff of smoke if anyone new comes to visit.

Foster dogs

I love fostering and I'm proud to say we have fostered 13 Jack Russells over the years. Photo: Turbo as a 4 month old - we were already his 3rd home.
