Some of the hardest and most special photoshoots are the ones of old horses. DeAnne has had Buddy for many years.  They covered a lot of miles together and in his spry old age he was still a feisty old guy.  But time wears on them like it does us and his body was just getting older. DeAnne […]

I was so excited to do a photoshoot with Gina.  She was an absolute blast and her little gelding was the sweetest.  He was so chill for a young guy and literally did everything we asked him to. We started on the dirt road at sunset and then we took off out to the pasture […]
