Annabelle | Suddenly Nic | Senior Session in Pilot Point
Doesn’t Annabelle’s red shirt look marvelous with her palomino Suddenly Nic “Nac”! Looks stunning on Annabelle too. Annabelle competes with Nac in NRCHA events and AQHA shows in the Working Cow Horse Events. It was a rather wind day, yes I have said that before, but it’s Texas so it is normal. In the pasture was a beautiful stock tank surrounded by trees. I “thought” this would be a great place to start out the session. A large blue heron corrected this thought as it kept flying back and forth over Annabelle & Nac. Nac was not to fond of this so we had to move locations.
We got creative to avoid the wind and tried out the barn doorway, a covered walkway between the barn and arena, I even found a cool wall of pallets. We couldn’t bring Nac next to them, but made a great spot for just Annabelle. When the wind started to die down when used the outdoor area and the front driveway. Across the street was a large pasture and made a nice backdrop.

Emma | Rio Vista | Country Senior Portraits with Horse
When I pulled into Emma’s driveway, I immediately fell in love with the tree-lined driveway and knew this would be where some of her photos would be taken. Tree-lined driveways are always my favorite, they are scenic and I find it easier for the model to handle their horse. With the lack of grass, the horse won’t be so tempted to try to eat. Emma and her horse, Jax made me think of National Velvet. Emma has some Elizabeth Taylor qualities, mostly her big beautiful eyes and Jax could easily double as The Pie.
Caitlin & Anthony | Engagement Session with Horses | Aubrey Texas
I have know Caitlin since my horse judging coaching days. I did her Senior portraits and she has been one of my equestrian models several times. I very excited to do her engagement session, especially since she wanted her & Anthony’s e-session to be with her horses. The red dress she wore looked so good against the early fall colors.
Lucky of La Osita Farms | Equine Fine Art Portraits | Brawley Farms | Texas
Lucky’s owner Christina had me out to do some equine portraits of him, she was rather proud of her horse, as she should. She used the session for 2 reasons, one for fine art portraits and some conformation photos to help promote her farm. I tried to give her a good variety of shots, including equine headshots, black background, conformation and some artistic backlight options.
