Horse Christmas Session | North Texas Equine Photographer
For the past 6 years, I have been doing Christmas Wreath Session in the North Texas Area. I did more this year than ever before. When I 1st started doing these sessions, I used an actual wreath that we put over the head. Believe it or not most horses had no problem with it. The problem with the wreath was, it was hard to put on a few horses and I did not like the way it laid on the shoulders on smaller horses, as it was one size fits all. Also if the horse but their head down, the wreath would slide down. I switched to garland a few years ago and now have 4 different ones. I use premade garland from Balsam Hill I thought about making my own, but by the time i bought every it would of cost the same as buying one already made. Plus I am not very crafty. I also added black back ground with out the wreath as an option.
Wishing everyone a Merry Christmas and Happy New Year!
Streakin Lil Wayne & Tricia | Barrel Stallion Shoot | Sanger Texas
This is my second time to photograph this beautiful roan Quarter Horse Stallion. Well actually the third time, the first time he came to the North Texas Equine Photography Workshop where he & Tricia modeled for us. Being a young stallion Tricia knew he filled out since last years so wanted some updated images. When I first arrived it was raining, as it seems very common this fall in the North Texas area. We decided to wait it out as the weather forecast said it would move past us. So glad we did, as it cleared and the storms moved east it gave us a spectacular backdrop and some beautiful light, There was one of the best sunsets of the year, but sadly we already were headed out when it started to form. Never fails!
Rylyn Senior Portraits| Prestonwood Polo| Bishop Arts
Rylyn contacted me over the summer looking for polo photos that were taken at a tournament. I told her although I would love to photograph a polo match, it wasn’t me. Soon after she contacted me again wanting to do her senior portraits. We had a great time starting in the early morning at Prestonwood Polo Club with her two polo ponies; Machu & Angela and then heading over to Bishop Art District in Dallas, Rylyn is multi-talented, not only does she compete in Polo, she was accomplished rider in Hunter/Jumper circuit before switching over.
Rylyn attends Greenhill School and also sings with the Dallas Opera. She plans on attending Cornell University with plans on becoming a Veterinarian.
Pauline | Southlake Texas | Equestrian Portraits
Pauline was gifted part of her equine photography session by my sister and her family for the kindness she showed them at an event Pauline planned. She was very excited to have her session done. Had her horses well prepared, several outfits picked out. Had her hair and makeup done by Sheila with Horse Show Makeup Artist. We started out doing some black background photos of her three horses Evie, Santiago and Tigger. Then we did a group shot with Pauline and multiple horses and then each horse individually with Pauline. She loves the way Tigger moves so we also did some liberty shots of him.
