Hi, I'm tamara.
your modern equestrian photographer.

A special photography experience for equestrians and their beloved horses


It’s wonderful to meet you! I’m a professional equine photographer serving the Northern Illinois area. My best friend-slash-hubby, Tony, and I live in Crystal Lake, Illinois with our two boys, Nicholas & Benjamin, and our three rambunctious pups. When I’m not out documenting my clients, I’m soaking in my boys' giggles & cuddles, snuggling up on the couch with my husband to watch 90 Day Fiance, riding my horse Louis or working on a home project.

The bond between you and your horse is strong and beautiful. My ultimate goal is to photograph horse and rider in raw and authentic moments to create timeless images. I offer both Fine Art Black Background Collections as well as Portrait Collections for Horse & Rider.

my images are

authentic + timeless

As you scroll through my portfolio, you’ll notice my work is genuine; nothing forced here. I want to capture your bond between you and your horse truly as you are. Instead of a curated portfolio, I like to show the variety I provide in a single portrait session. My hope is that you will fall in love with these images & the idea of capturing the bond between yourself and your horse as well.
