Sunrise Mounted Shooting Horse Portrait Session with Paige and Roxie

There’s a location on the southern edge of Phoenix, up next to South Mountain called Scorpion Gulch. I had been wanting to shoot there for some time as it’s old, rustic location lended itself to creating interesting and fun images, so when this session was scheduled there with a mounted shooter, I was all in.

How fun to get to the rare opportunity to photograph a mounted shooter like Paige and her darling Roxie. The early morning start time can always be a little rough, but that morning desert glow perfectly cuddled Paige and Roxie. Luckily we didn’t see any scorpions but we were graced with 4 coyotes exploring the wash near us. After photographing around the structure, we made our way into the wash for some fun action shots.

Take a look at some of the behind the scenes action on our Instagram here.

A special thank you to TP Creations Photography and Paige.

BEHIND THE LENS

ABOUT yasmin

I believe in real moments and chasing sunsets. In the kinds of images that remind you of the joy that can be found in the simplest of moments.

I believe in creating images that demand to be printed—framed in fine art materials and displayed as the heirlooms they're meant to become. My approach is both editorial and intimate, capturing not just faces but the emotional landscape of your life. Each portrait is thoughtfully composed to reveal your authentic story while honoring the beauty of the world around you. Your journey is extraordinary and entirely your own, and I'm here to preserve it with the artistry it deserves.
