Olivia & Alphie | Equestrian | Aubrey Equine Photographer
Olivia's mom contacted me to photograph her daughter, Olivia and Olivia's horse, Alphie. She also wanted some images of Alphie to use as wall art in her home. She has seen some art pieces that she loved, but wanted their horse rather than someone else's horse hanging in their house. I thought that was a wonderful idea. Olivia competes regularly in North Texas Hunter Jumper shows with Alphie. We did her equestrian portraits as well as Alphie's equine photos where he is boarded at KB Ranch in Aubrey Texas.
Rachael | Equestrian Portraits | Kansas
I did Rachael's portraits with her horses; Merida, Bentley and Willa at her family's farm near Russell Kansas. There farm was in a beautiful part of Kansas and was in a very peaceful location. There was one of coolest barns I have ever seen. A old stone barn converted into a unique rustic show barn. I was greeted by Rachael and her many pug dog, her mom called her the "pug whisperer." She had all three of her horses ready to go as well as getting herself ready. She showed a few locations that she thought would work for photos. A pasture by the side of hill, a tree-lined arena and alfalfa field. It was slightly overcast and all worked perfectly. One of my favorite photos from the session was a candid of Rachael leading 2 of the horses with a handful of tack and several of her pugs tagging along. It summed up her hands on approach and hard work ethic perfectly. Personally I would of tripped over a leadrope or something if I tried to handle all that.
David | Senior Portraits | Prestonwood Polo
David has three loves, polo, motocross and his truck! He wanted to incorporate all three into his Senior photos. The motocross part didn't work out for the shoot for this location, but we got the other 2 done! David attends Liberty Christian in Argyle Texas and plans on attending Texas A&M next fall with hopes of making the Polo team. We did his senior session at Prestonwood Polo Club in Oak Point Texas where is horses are kept. Another early morning session that stayed cool and we finished before it started heating up.

Rileigh | Argyle Texas Senior | Equine Photographer
To beat the brutally hot Texas summer day, we did Rileigh's session at sunrise. Sunrise session can be hit or miss on what type of sky you can get. It was a hit for her session and we had some beautiful colors. Rileigh's main horse was Texas so the main part of her session was taken with him, but she still wanted some photos with her other horses, Tess & Manny.
Rileigh attends Argyle High School where she plays volleyball. Her mom who is a professional stylist, did her hair & makeup. Loved this session!
