Cedar Creek Equestrian

I was asked by a local equestrian instructor to take some photos during their summer camp, and I seriously couldn't be more thrilled! Actually I was hired as a "surprise" for his wife, so she could focus on teaching instead of taking pictures on her cell phone - a great investment to save her time and frustration and get some great marketing shots!

So for anyone who has known me long enough, you know I am completely enamored by horses, and have been since I was able walk. One of my favorite pictures from my childhood was visiting my Aunt's house in the mountains in North Carolina, nose to nose with her horse. I was fortunate enough to own three during my childhood, read every book I could find on horses, and would sit around and trace and draw pictures of them for hours. They are without a doubt, in my opinion, God's most graceful and majestic creatures.

I truly loved capturing these images for Cedar Creek - watching those sweet girls care for their horses and learn all about showmanship, and getting some artsy candids of these beauties while the opportunity presented itself.

So. In. Love.

The Fox Family Session

I want to thank Ellen for her patience in scheduling this session with me. We had to bounce around our schedules a bit due to weather and unexpected family recreational activities, but finally found a gorgeous Saturday morning at Headwaters park that turned out great! So what that it happened to be the same day as Kickstart 2016 and it took me about 15 minutes to find a parking space - mostly because I got stuck in a traffic jam full of bicycles.

This adorable family did such a good job. Both little girls did so well and were so patient! We got a few artsy shots with the baby... and we even had a random stranger come up and ask me if they could take a picture too. First time for everything, I guess!

Great job, you guys! Your girls are such sweethearts!
