Meet the photographer

I'm Reese Leibrock, the girl behind the camera. Photography has been a passion of mine for quite some time. I've been riding equines for 10 years and work with them regularly. So not only is photography something I love, but equines make it something I look forward to doing and genuinely enjoy. It wasn't until I bought my first official camera in June of 2023 that things started to progress. I started practicing my skills at home on the ground and advanced to riding action shots. I now travel around northwest Arkansas to a variety of show venues in the English and Western world to photograph a wide assortment of different riders of all skill levels. I have participated in mentorship programs and photography contests to practice my craft. I'm looking forward to my next photoshoot with the thought of challenging myself. I hope to bring my skills to you for an affordable price and quality photographs.

My riding journey started in the Western world. I often did play days for fun, which only grew my love for the sport. A couple of years later I switched to an English barn and have found my true passion of being in the hunter-jumper world. I currently have two horses, with one being my competition hunter pony, and the other being a companion trail horse. I compete in my local show circuit as well as traveling to a couple of A-rated shows. In August of 2024, I attended Pony Finals in Lexington, Kentucky, and placed 18th overall in the nation for Large Green Pony Hunters. It's an experience I'm thankful to have had with my pony.

Why Speckled Lens?

Speckled Lens is more than just a photography business that I started. It's a legacy I carry on. The name comes from my first pony, Vinny, who was a grey appaloosa. He took me so far in my riding career, and I owe every ounce of knowledge to him. He was kind and gentle, but most importantly, the most patient partner that I've ever had. We were just short of our 4 years together when Vinny sadly passed in December of 2024. I missed seeing his speckled face, so I implemented him into my logo. The name will forever be unchanged, in favor of him. I hope every time someone looks at my business, a little piece of Vinny will be with them.
