Hi, I'm LAUREN, the photographer behind the lens at sunlit acres animal photography.
I'm based in Alpine, CA and serve San Diego County and surrounding areas.
I specialize in animal photography on location, focusing on ranch life, riding lessons, horse events, and working animals.
My work centers on photographing animals in the environments they're most comfortable, whether that is the arena, the ranch and stables, or everyday life with your dog.
My background is rooted in spending time around horses, livestock, and working dogs, which shapes how I approach photography. I pay attention to the details that matter, including movement, timing, behavior, and the connection between animals and the people who work with them.
I offer:
- Horse event photography for shows, clinics, gymkhanas, and equestrian events
- Ranch, stable and farm photography documenting riding lessons, livestock, property, and operations
- Pet and dog sports photography for both working and companion animals
All sessions are photographed on location throughout San Diego County, including Alpine and surrounding areas, with a focus on images that reflect real environments, not staged setups.
If you are looking for a San Diego animal photographer who understands ranch life, equestrian work, and working animals, I am currently booking sessions and events.
