Hi, my name is Charlie, I am an equine photographer located in Grass Valley , CA. I am certified in commercial photography which covers everything from product photography to wedding photography, although my true passion is equine photography! I've been in the saddle since I was three years old, the first time I ever sat on a horse my mom ended up having to pull me off kicking and screaming , ever since that day I've been obsessed with horses! I grew up on a ten acre ranch where my family ran a horse boarding facility for 12 years. I learned so much from equestrians from all different disciplines and I got to appreciate the beauty and characteristics of the many breeds of horses that came to live at our ranch. There is nothing like having a connection with one of these beautiful creatures and my goal as a photographer is to capture those special moments between a horse and rider.
