Champ & Congo love having their portrait on the wall! Our museum quality, handmade canvas is a juicy two inches thick, complete with hand painted clear acrylic brush stroking, and solid wood frames. The highest level of craftsmanship available anywhere on the canvas market, this is a one of a kind, hand made work of art!
Schedule your own session or register for the book project to get your very own custom museum canvas!

Black & white evokes all the feels!

Black backgrounds aren't just for horses! Lower Hopewell Farm's Head Wrangler Izzy isn't always into having her portrait done, but we almost got a smile out of her this time!

Recently, my friends Tasha and Billy said goodbye to sweet Hunter. We shared a wonderful day a couple of years ago photographing Hunter and his "sister", Shelby. Today we celebrate Hunter and send our condolences to those who love him!

Love Abrams & Weakley! Skip the big box pet supply stores and support an awesome small biz plus owned and managed by extremely knowledgeable people!

I'm always sad when I find out that a friend of KSP has had to say goodbye to a cherished companion. My dear friend Diane recently sent her beloved Sweet Pea across the Rainbow Bridge. It was an honor to capture some sweet moments of them together.

Happy International Love Your Pet Day! How are you spoiling your pet today?

I quickly fell in love with this handsome boy! Meet "See Spot Run", a Friesian x Appaloosa gelding, currently competing in dressage at Intermediate II! Affectionately known as Pig, he is owned, trained, and loved by USDF Bronze and Silver medalist, Courtney Swars.

These two sweeties, Champ & Congo, had a great portrait session today! They were so good and posed wonderfully for their mom & I for more than two hours!
Thank you Adrienne Felty for the adorable photo 🥰

Portrait sessions are fun! Well, Pyper the dog may not think so at this point - we were losing our light, getting chilly, and Pyper is clearly over it all after posing perfectly for lots of great images, but at least we humans were still having a great time!

Took a quick break from working on client and book project portrait sessions to do a quick one of my own dog! Hodor's official fall portrait!

Thank you Butthead Bandanaz for another awesome bowtie!

26/09/2022

Sessions for my book project to benefit Nittany Beagle Rescue are officially underway! Nothing like crawling around in the shrubs at a world-famous location just to get that one shot!
If you know this sweet pup OR you can tell where we were, please keep it a secret!
