Ashleigh, Andy, & Moe

Some love stories are written in the stars—others are shared in the saddle. This session was extra special because I had the joy of photographing my dear friend Ashleigh, her boyfriend, Andy, and her beloved horse, Moe. Growing up with Ashleigh made life at the barn unforgettable, and capturing this chapter of her journey felt like coming full circle. With golden hour casting the perfect glow over Rancho Sierra Vista Equestrian Center, every moment was pure magic. ✨
