Rachel asked me to come over and take a few pictures of her filly, Fancy, so she could get her registered for her papers.  Lyza went along with me and she already has a love for horses, but the problem is she is not scared of them at all.  She will take off running up […]

Dewey Minda got Dewey and has had him for many years.  When she was describing him to me in the questionnaire I sent to her before the session he sounded like a dream horse.  Dewey was going to live with some of Minda’s good friends to start to teach little kids to learn how to […]

Equine Photo Shoot I first met Heather of  555 Photography when she was looking for a second shooter for a 4 day horse show. I drove four hours to shoot a show with someone that I had ever met before but it was totally worth it.  For the past three or four years we have […]

For the month of March, CDPhotog had his monthly photography competition.  This month we had to use a wide angle lens and capture some kind of action without zooming in but getting up close and personal with the action.  It was a little scary being 8 months pregnant and having Jessie spin super fast circles […]
