Who I am
I grew up in Germany in a rural town called Minden in Nordrhein Westfalen.
Horses have always been my big love. My dad just recently told me about a memory that reflects my love for horses. He told me that I must have been around four years old. A neighbor had cut some longer grass. Some of it blew into the street and dried in the sun. I saw it, picked it up and exclaimed: “I have hay, now I can get a horse!”
I drew, painted and photographed horses wherever I could to be closer to them. Later to preserve my memories with these beautiful creatures. I owned several horses over time. Though I don’t own one at the moment, I do enjoy riding and being around horses.
A Book
I even wrote a book about them. You can find it here: https://www.amazon.com/dp/B06XTG2WZG
My Education
My degree from the Leibniz University of Hanover in Germany is a masters in architecture. I currently also work as an Engineering Supervisor for a furniture manufacturer.
My Family
I am in love with my husband of almost 15 years, Jerry. We adopted two lovely dogs from the local humane society. A Great Pyrenees, Ice and a black Lab mix, Raven.
Horse and dog rescue organizations are dear to my heart. That’s why I decided to donate 10% of my profits to these organizations.
Organizations
I am a member of the PPA, Professional Photographers of America, and the PSA, Photographic Society of America:

I am a full service photography print artist. This means that my finished product is printed. I will hang your printed photo art for you, if you choose to have wall art printed.
Though my primary focus is equine photography, I also do other photo sessions, such as pet photography, seniors or portraits.
In equine photography I focus on different aspects of it with your equine partner:
Lifestyle Sessions:
These are designed to capture day to day interaction with your horse, such as grooming, riding or grazing your horse.

If you wish you can combine a photo session with getting a painting or drawing of your favorite photograph.
