Welcome!
Hello! I’m Doug — founder, photographer, and storyteller at Smart Zombie Studios. This studio wasn’t born in a boardroom. It was born in the dirt of a horse farm, the quiet of a driveway at dawn, the backseat of a car where a dog watches the world go by.
I’ve always believed that the best moments aren’t posed. They’re caught—when a horse’s mane catches the wind, when a classic car’s engine rumbles like a memory, when a pet looks at you like you’re everything.
So that’s what I do. I don’t stage. I don’t direct. I witness. And then I give you back a moment you didn’t even know you needed to keep.
Smart Zombie Studios is for people who want more than a photo. You want a feeling. A legacy. A story that moves.
Welcome to it.

SERVICES
Equine Photography – Whether it’s a portrait of quiet strength, a burst of motion, or life on the farm, we capture horses as they are—powerful, graceful, alive.
Pet Photography – From couch potatoes to zoomies at sunset, we tell the story of the pet who feels like family. Where it happens: At home, in the yard, or your favorite park.
Classic Vehicle Photography – Your car isn’t just metal. It’s memory. We shoot it in motion, in detail, in golden light—exactly how it feels to drive.
People & Families – No stiff poses. No “say cheese.” Just you – laughing, leaning, living. Sessions that feel like a walk with someone who gets you.
