Brooke and Preston | Camrose, Alberta Graduation Photographer

Some relationships are so deep, so genuine, that they’re hard to put into words. Brooke and her horse, Preston, share a connection like that. When Brooke reached out to book a session, she had a clear vision in mind: family photos at her home near Camrose, Alberta, sweet moments with her boyfriend (and his truck!), and most of all, capturing her bond with Preston in a place that means so much to her—her family farm near Camrose, Alberta.

Family Photos at Home on The Farm

The family farm was more than just a backdrop; it was a place filled with memories, stories, and love. Brooke knew exactly where she wanted these photos to be taken—a quiet, special spot where she feels at home, surrounded by the beauty of her world.

Celebrating Relationships

Brooke and Tennessee have dated for a while, and their ease with each other shows that perfectly. It’s clear that they’re friends as much as they are a couple. This portion of the session was full of laughter, dancing and the joy of love..

But the true star of the session? Preston.

It’s rare to see a connection as strong as Brooke and Preston’s. They moved together like two pieces of a puzzle, perfectly in sync. There was a calm energy between them, an unspoken understanding. As I snapped the shutter, it felt as though Preston knew he was part of something important. He posed effortlessly, ears forward, head held high, with his warm eyes reflecting every ounce of love he has for Brooke.

At one point, Brooke whispered softly to him, and he shifted closer, nuzzling her shoulder. It was such a tender moment that I couldn’t help but pause and just take it all in before capturing the frame.

The photos we created together tell their story—a story of trust, love, and a bond that only horse owners truly understand. Preston isn’t just a horse; he’s Brooke’s confidant, her partner, and her anchor in a world that can sometimes feel overwhelming.

There’s a kind of magic in photographing someone with their horse, especially when the connection is as genuine as this one. It’s more than just capturing pretty pictures—it’s about preserving memories, freezing moments that tell a story, and creating a legacy.

My Process as an Equine and Graduation Photographer

Capturing moments like these is what I specialize in as a photographer in Camrose, Alberta. Whether it’s a graduation session filled with pride and excitement, or an equine session with a beloved horse, my process is all about connection. Every session starts with a conversation. I want to know your story—what matters most to you, who (or what) you love, and how we can bring your vision to life.

Working with horses is a unique skill, one that takes patience, understanding, and a true love for these incredible animals. Growing up around horses myself, I understand their body language and how to bring out their best in a session. This isn’t just a job for me; it’s a passion. Every horse is different, and every bond is unique, which is why I tailor each session to reflect that special connection.

For Brooke’s session, it was about finding those quiet, meaningful moments with Preston, but it was also about creating a relaxed and fun experience for everyone involved—Brooke, her family, and even her boyfriend’s truck. 😉 I take pride in creating an atmosphere where you feel at ease and can just enjoy being in the moment.

Why These Memories Matter

Life is a collection of fleeting moments, and photography has the power to freeze those moments in time. Whether it’s the bond between you and your horse, the pride of graduating high school, or the love of your family, these memories deserve to be celebrated and preserved.

Brooke’s session reminded me, once again, why I do what I do. Years from now, when she looks back at these images, she’ll remember not just how they looked, but how it felt to be there—on the farm she loves, with the people (and animals) that mean the most to her.

If you’re looking to document your own story—whether it’s an equine session, graduation portraits, or a special moment with your family—let’s create something meaningful together. These are the memories that will last a lifetime.

Brooke, thank you for letting me step into your world for a little while. It was such an honor to capture your love for Preston, your family, and the place that means so much to you. These photos will forever remind you of this chapter in your life and the beautiful connection you share with the ones you love.

Preston, you were a rock star. I think you might have a future in modeling. 😉
