Meet Michelle

Horses have always had a way of finding their way back into my life.


I rode at a local lesson barn during my childhood and after years away from the saddle, I returned to the horse world in my 30s. What started with one horse quickly became a way of life.


Today, our family is blessed to care for our herd of horses, Thoroughbreds, AQHA quarter horses, Gypsy's, Paints and ponies. My daughters competes in barrel racing, we're active in 4-H, and you'll usually find us somewhere around the barn—whether we're feeding, training, hauling to a show, or simply enjoying quiet evenings with our horses.


As the owner of M and M. Terry Photography, I've spent years documenting weddings with an eye for genuine connection, beautiful light, and authentic storytelling.


Lucky 7 Equine Photography brings those same artistic roots into the horse world I love so deeply.


Because I'm a horse owner too, I understand that your horse isn't just an animal—it's your teammate, your safe place, your greatest teacher, and part of your family. My goal is to create images that honor that bond while making both you and your horse feel comfortable every step of the way.


I can't wait to tell your story.

Why Invest in Equine Branding Photography?

Your photos are often the first impression potential clients have of your program. Before they inquire about lessons, book a stall, purchase a horse, or breed to your stallion, they're deciding whether they trust you.

Where does a session take place?

You don't need a million-dollar facility to create beautiful images.
Some of my favorite sessions have taken place in open hay fields, quiet pastures, gravel driveways, and well-loved family barns. Beautiful photographs aren't created by expensive buildings—they're created by beautiful light, thoughtful composition, and the connection between you and your horse.
Whether your property is a large training facility or a small family farm, I'll help find the locations that photograph best and create imagery that highlights the heart of your program.
