California equine & western lifestyle photography

Photography


Hi there! Molly Virginia Photography is Me! Molly! I live in a small ranching town in rural Northern California. My roots are in the Orange County surf town of San Clemente, and I went to college  & lived and worked afterwards on the sunny Central Coast… so I have a whole lot of California that is home to me, with family all over this big golden state. California has so much to offer, and my heart is in showcasing the incredible horses, people, and traditions that this state (and beyond) has to offer.

I live with my incredible husband, Steel, and our many many animals on his family’s 6th generation Angus ranch, where I also work when I’m not busy with photography. Knowing the ranching industry firsthand, and being surrounded both personally and professionally with a wide spectrum of performance horse industries, I bring my practical experience and knowledge to the table to help showcase you! I have ridden and worked with reiners to ropers, show jumpers to trail riders, anything and everything equine related, call me your gal. Through my creative knowledge and practice, I strive to gift others with a tangible representation of the grit, craft, and personality of their passions.



My incredible family is my support system, and I’m so thankful I get to help showcase YOUR families, and learn your stories. My life is also governed by Jesus, and I love the opportunity to express my faith in building relationships and utilizing my talent of photography to capture the gifts of others. It is so rewarding to be inspired by the endeavors of others, and I love hearing how you are contributing to our communities, & documenting the aspects and moments you most cherish.

My professional education and training is not only in photography, but in videography, marketing, graphic design, and art history. Whether you are a western clothing brand, a high school senior, a performance horse breeder- my list could go on and on and on: I want to artfully showcase whatever it is that drives you. I strive to bring a fresh perspective to storytelling, and am always aiming for creativity and professional quality.
