hi, I am Carsyn roberts

10-r's owner and lead photographer

Series of equestrian photos showing a horse and rider in formal attire against a grassy background.

Horses have been part of my life for as long as I can remember, and my heart horse, Poppy, has taught me more about patience, trust, and joy than I could ever put into words. I share my life with two mischievous dogs and my amazing husband, who keeps life (and me!) grounded.


Capturing the personalities of horses, and the people who love them, is what I live for, and I love turning those genuine, heartfelt moments into images you’ll treasure forever. My goal is to make every session fun, relaxed, and full of memories you’ll look back on with a smile.

Carsyn was absolutely amazing during our photoshoot! Not only was she patient with my not so cooperative mare who has been living in retirement for the past 4 years. She also had no problem helping handle them. When they say there is a difference between an equine photographer and a normal photographer it is so true. She pulled out the best in both my senior horses even though they were never “show horses” my mare was a barrel racer and my gelding a trail horse. She still made them look great She did many things above and beyond for this session that she never had to do. If you’re looking to book an equine photographer look on further than 10-R Photography. Not only is she great to work with her work is absolutely beautiful! I could not be more happy with my results! Thank you again Carsyn for all you did! I will forever be grateful I chose you to capture the life of 2 horses that have been such a huge part of my life!
