As a California Equine Photographer I BELIEVE CAPTURING IMAGES IS A FORM OF STORY TELLING.

HERE ARE A FEW OF MY FAVORITE STORIES of horses and the people that love them.

Arizona Sun Circuit Show Mini Sessions

with Lindsay James Show Clothing

I ventured to the Arizona Sun Circuit Show to shoot some mini sessions for my dear friend Lindsey James Show Clothing. Needless to say I LOVED the horsey vibe surrounding the show grounds. Most of the streets have equestrian themed names and I was so lucky to see Cavalia while I was there! I’ve been friends with the woman behind Lindsey James Show Clothing since college so I jumped at the chance to help represent her brand.

Undoubtedly, Lindsey and I are both crazy horse girls that turned our passion into our purpose. I have learned so much from her over the years. She is a consummate businesswoman, a hell of a creative, and an amazing friend. Every time I walk into her office that I’ve unofficially dubbed “The Sparkle Factory”, I am blown away by her work.

We snagged a few of Lindsey’s clients for some fun mini sessions in river bed around the Arizona Sun Circuit Show. The natural landscape and stunning light in Arizona helped highlight Lindsay’s skilled work. Moreover, it was a blast to meet some of her awesome clients. Horse Girl Energy everywhere!

I had sessions with Bella, Shannon, Amy, and Sarah and met some of their friends along the way. Everyone was so nice and their horses are some of the best in the show pen! Such a lovely experience all around.

Once sessions were all done, I was thrilled to snag tickets to a night at Cavalia. Obviously, my obsession with Spanish Horses is well known. It was an experience! Without a doubt, Cavalia is a must-see for any horse person. It pairs horses with stunning costumes, lighting and art direction with top of the line horsemanship. Truly a wonderful show.

Hey There!

I'm California Equine Photographer Elizabeth Hay. Call me Beth. If you love the smell of fresh hay, a clean horse, the sound of a nicker when you walk towards the stall, and you think dirty boots are better than clean — you're in the right place. Welcome to all the bloggy goodness.
