From Horse Sessions to High School Senior | Gilbert, Arizona Equestrian Photography

This blog is a walk down memory lane to one of my very first horse photography sessions in Gilbert, Arizona. Mckenna arrived full of smiles, chatty, and confident, with a natural connection to her horse that showed in every image. Now a high school senior, this session is a reminder of how a single photography session can shape a life and become part of a child’s story. From early business lessons to full-circle moments, this equestrian photography experience highlights the lasting impact of photographing children with horses by a Gilbert AZ child and family photographer.

Itty Bitty//Ponies & Pearls//Arizona Child Photographer

One of the greatest parts of this journey as a photographer are all the like minded individuals I have the opportunity to meet. Soaring Dreams Ranch, LLC is featured often because of their gorgeous horses and their generosity to share them with hundreds of children so we can create beautiful art. But, what I don't get to talk about often enough are the other incredible photographers I have met in the industry. I have loved, admired and greatly appreciated their presence in my life as they rock their businesses, encouraged me in ways they'll never know and shown me a little on how to juggle being a business owner and family. 

Annelise Jensen, the owner of Annelise Jensen Photography, is one of these incredible people. She came into my life and jumped into it, pushing me to try harder and reach higher in a moment I was wracked with self-doubt. She brings a light and a kindness with her that I truly admire. 

Despite being a phenomenal photographer herself, she still trusted me to make this little memory happen for her sweet girl and I am so grateful I was able to make this happen.
