Katy & Zielger - Saying Good Bye Equestrian Session
This was a tough session for Katy, she was in the process of selling Ziegler and realized she never had photos with him. We did a quick session, she wanted some images of both of them together and some of just him. He was with her trainer at KB Ranch in Aubrey Texas when we did the session the trees did not have many leaves yet. I knew KB Ranch had plenty cedar trees so I tried to utilize . those for the background. In between the time when we took the photos and when we met to view the photos, Katy sold Zielger and I could tell she missed him as the tears welled up in her eyes. I have to admit, I did the same. I have been there, selling a horse is never easy no matter the reason. Ziegler is beautiful and loud colored American Paint Horse with tons of personality, so I can understand why the tears.
Olivia's Senior Session, Lots of Pretty Flowers and a Beautiful Creek
I have been doing photos for Olivia’s family for several years now. Her father runs a Thoroughbred Racing Partnership and I started doing some promo photos at Lone Star Park for them. I also did her older sister’s senior portraits and have done family photos too. When Olivia applied to be one of my High School models, I was happy to make her one of my selections. One of the perks of being a TCP model is they get 2 different sessions. We did her 1st session at the Dallas Arboretum, which was the same location we did her sister’s a few years before. The second was at one of my favorite locations; Stone Creek Park in Flower Mound.
Whispering Oaks | Equestrian Barn Session | Prosper Texas
I started doing barn mini sessions this spring and really have enjoyed them. I still treat everyone as a regular session, with pre-consult, editing and help with orders. A majority of them are black background images, but if the light and scenery allows we also do some natural images. Barn Session are a lot of fun for everyone involved and can get a great session at a lower price. I have a host from the barn arrange everything and she gets others at the barn interested. The host can earn discounts on their session and even receive a free session if they get enough interested. This session we had to do some quick rescheduling. It was originally scheduled for a Saturday and that particular Saturday was forecast for heavy rains. Which has been a trend for the past year. I had to split it between Friday and Sunday to work with everyone , including mine, schedules. The ground was a little soggy for Sunday, but it was a beautiful day and everyone was able to get their session in.
