After a little break for the holidays, I jumped right back into the swing of things with a portrait session on December 28th! Brianna had e-mailed be before Christmas about setting up a session for her mother, Renee, and her beautiful warmblood/Thoroughbred, Chance. Photographs are such a thoughtful gift that lasts YEARS after the hour […]

2016 was both crazy and wonderful. Looking back on the past year brings up some great memories. I met tons of amazing people and their beautiful ponies. I traveled to places I’ve never been and flew on a plane alone for the first time. I made the decision to go part-time at my reliable office […]

I wanted to put together a look back on all my sessions in 2016! I love seeing the evolution of Melissa Gebert Photography over the past year and can’t wait to see where it takes me in 2017. Enjoy this little trip down memory lane! To book a session of your own and see yourself […]

Here is Emma’s senior session with Rocket from earlier this fall! It is so crazy to see kids I have watched grow up head into senior year. Emma and I had fun finding locations around the barn to take photos, and Rocket was a willing participant. I think he even has a little bit of […]

Around the same time I held my 500 Facebook Likes giveaway, Sarah was coming back from New Jersey with this beautiful guy! I am convinced D’Artagnan is a real-life unicorn. As someone who browses the CANTER website daily, meeting him did not help with my off-the-track Thoroughbred obsession. It is much easier to work around the […]

As soon as I got these photos uploaded to my computer and started going through them, I was in love. My entire session with Annie was SO much fun! From the very first time she contacted me, I knew it would be great. They certainly did not disappoint. It was wonderful to spend time photographing these […]

My goal with photography is to give people a tangible memory of their relationship with their horse. When Katelynn and I first talked about having a session with her and her horse Prince, I knew her situation was EXACTLY why I do this job. Earlier this month, Katelynn and her veterinarian came to the conclusion […]

Back in June, I held a giveaway after reaching 500 likes on Facebook. One of the lucky winners was Taylor! We finally got a chance to get together in between both our busy schedules. I was so excited to be able to photograph Taylor and her adorable mare Sage Advice! Taylor and I have known each […]

There must be some kind of horse gene that runs in my family, because it was definitely passed down to my cousin Beth and I! Some of my first memories involve riding Beth’s horses in New Jersey. Beth has a wonderful Quarter Horse named Renny who she shows both western and english. In May, we […]

In February of this year, I was given the opportunity from my “real” job to do an hour of volunteer work at some kind of local non-profit. It took me a long few weeks to think of just exactly what I wanted to do, but really the answer was obvious. All I had to do was […]
