Nice to meet you!

Hi, my name is Frances McGivern! I have been involved with horses for as long as I can remember, and I ride and show myself. Whether it be hunters, jumpers, or equitation, I am always looking to surround myself with horses.

When I am not on the back of a horse or with my camera slung over my shoulder, I am spending time with my dogs. I actively compete with them in dog sports, including scent work and dock diving, which has grown my appreciation for working with and photographing canine athletes as well.

I strive to get the most out of all of the experiences I am presented, and I hope you choose to be a part of my creative and animal oriented journey. I am often found ringside with my counterpart, Cheddar, capturing memories of those around me.

Since then, this has grown into my creative outlet where I am able to capture and create memories for the animal crazy people around me. My experience as a working student as well as a barn manager gives me a unique and extensive understanding of how to best present you and your horse in front of my lens, while also bringing that same attention and timing to my canine work.

CONNECTIONS THAT LAST

I have been lucky enough that my photography has introduced me to countless people and they are friends and connections that I cherish.
