let's really get to know each other

founder & head creator

I’ve always been artistic—something I think I got from my mom and grandma, who’s an artist by trade. My journey into photography started when I was just a kid doing the pony hunters. I picked up a camera and began capturing candid, behind-the-scenes moments, and it quickly became a passion. My first job as a teenager was with ESI, and after a few years working with the incredible Anne Gittins, I decided to give it a try myself.

Thus, JWP was born. Through hard work dedication, we have grown as the Northeast's premier photography and videography team, working with top riders and horse show venues across New England and the East Coast.

As an equestrian myself, I think my passion for the sport is reflected in my work—I notice all the little details that truly make each horse and rider’s journey unique. I love pushing beyond the standard stock shots, taking creative and candid photos so that every exhibitor feels valued. Even though I take a lot of photos at each show, I’m proud that the quality never wavers. It’s important to me that every rider, no matter their level, has the chance to see themselves in a way that’s special.

Over the years, I’ve worked hard to reinvest in JWP, constantly learning new techniques and growing my women-based team. It’s become a little tight-knit group, and I love inspiring and supporting other photographers and videographers who join us.

When I’m not behind the camera, you’ll find me playing competitive golf, reading, or rocking a sun hat. And a fun fact—if you see me at a horse show, there’s a good chance you could scare me because I get so absorbed in my work!
