Savannah was a competitor at the NBHC (North Brevard Horseman's Club) show that I shot back in November. She has a lovely Paint who proved to be very versatile that day!
A few weeks ago Blue Horse Ranch had me back out to take some more pictures of their gorgeous horses...this time there were a few new additions.
The first new addition I got to photograph was Ricoma, he's a stunning Oldenburg gelding that came from my home state of Ohio!
The other new addition was this magnificent Dutch Harness Horse, also from Ohio, named Eclipse. He's an eventer and loves his job.
Reflection is another new addition, he too is a Dutch Harness Horse and is a sibling of Eclipse's. He's a young fellow still, but very flashy with all of the chrome he's sporting!
Benjamin was there the first time I visited, but still as cute as ever...
I love this picture of the herd together...I told their owner, Moriah that her horses remind me of a child's Breyer horse herd. It's like someone went down the aisle in a toy store, picking the prettiest horses of every breed and size, then put them all together into a single herd.
I have been so busy with my photography (and being a mommy!) that I'm very behind in updating my blog, so I'll do my best to get it caught up over the last couple of months and then *keeping* it up to date! Last week I had the chance to photograph Makayla, who is competing for Junior Rodeo Queen this weekend. She needed two pictures for the competition, one waist up shot and one full body shot for the "Photogenic" category of judging. We did the session at her family's gorgeous farm in Christmas, FL and the equine model is Dually, a stunning Quarter Horse Stallion. The following pictures are the results of that shoot!
I've always had an appreciation for beautiful horses and good photography. I grew up riding and showing in a variety of events, from western pleasure to dressage, while making my start in 4-H. It wasn't until the Air Force sent me to Korea that I discovered a love for photography that transcended the simple point and shoot cameras with which I was familiar. I bought my first digital SLR to capture the stunning Korea scenery and just kept learning from there.
I especially enjoy capturing the relationship between horse and rider as I know what a special bond that is, having owned my Appendix Quarter Horse "Jessie" for the last 15 years. I now focus on dressage but enjoy watching a well trained team from any discipline! I am excited to offer my photography services to Florida with the help of my husband and business partner Craig. I am available for farm calls, portrait sessions, and horse shows.
