Buckin’ Good Media
An Upstate New York photographer with a knack for helping you honor your memories and savor your life one photo at a time
Welcome to my little corner of the internet, fellow equestrian!
Buckin’ Good Media was formed under one thing:
we like to have a buckin’ good time.
We also like to talk about food, horses, and our goals!
Meet Maren Boyko
HBIC, head photographer, maker of terrible jokes, speaker of movie and tv show quotes, and lover of ginger animals. I like nice and genuine people. I enjoy long walks to my fridge. I also thoroughly enjoy that moment when a chip dipped in queso is first tasted. I am a mean pierogi maker - seriously. I have learned to not take anything for granted and that life is for living… and eating!
I thrive off of helping fellow equestrians savor their lives with their equine partners. I don’t just try to tell your story - I aim to highlight and honor the memories you’ve created with your four-hooved partner.

Why choose Buckin’ Good Media?
Every day there are memories to be made. Every day there is a moment where we think about our past. Life is for living and we need to appreciate what we have.
When my father was diagnosed with cancer I knew that I had to start making every day count with him. And five years later when he went into hospice and passed away I pretty much had no regrets. Why? Because of what I chose to do five years prior.
I chose to be present and to live out the best of each moment. But there is one thing I regretted when my father passed… I wish I had more photos.
Photography is amazing because you can look at a single image and instantly be brought back to how you felt in that moment. Even if just for a split second, you remember the feeling.
That’s why I focus on helping you honor your memories and savor your life. I don’t want anyone to look back and wish. I want you to feel the emotions all over again when you see your photos for the first time or the 1000th time.
The future you wants to have these memories to look back on. And whether it’s horse show photography, a horse and rider session, or even a black background session you will be glad you’ve honored not just your memories, but your life.
Your Equestrian Photo Experience
The Whole Experience
“Maren is an absolute phenomenon to work with! From day one I knew this wasn’t going to be just another photo session… it was going to be something much more incredible. The experience was so much more than I could have asked for. The photos absolutely blew my mind! I had so much fun with her and her team and will obviously be back for more when I get another horse! Thank you, Maren! I couldn’t imagine having anyone else take my photos!!!!”

“Treats you like a real person”
“It’s true, Maren makes you feel like ‘one of the girls’ when you talk to her. There’s no BS and zero fakeness when it comes to who she is. She will make you feel confident in yourself from the first moment you’re in front of her camera. She will make your time with your horse so special that you even forget people are watching. She has made me savor my life with my horse. What more could I ask for?”
