A Frosty Morning at the Florida Agricultural Museum: Autumn and Thor's Dreamy Session
On a chilly, frosty morning, just as the sun was starting to rise, I had the pleasure of photographing Autumn and her magnificent Highlander horse, Thor. We chose the Florida Agricultural Museum as our location, and it couldn't have been more perfect for this session.
Autumn, looked absolutely stunning in a dreamy, romantic dress. Her outfit was the perfect match for Thor's impressive fairytale mane and tail, which blew majestically in the morning breeze. To add a little extra touch of elegance, we created a beautiful flower arrangement that we attached to Thor's bridle. The flowers complemented Autumn's dress wonderfully, adding to the ethereal feel of the session.
We began the shoot with some gorgeous silhouettes just as the sun broke over the horizon. The soft, golden light of sunrise turned to a vibrant color pallet that combined with the frosty landscape created a magical atmosphere. Autumn and Thor were the perfect subjects, and the bond they are developing was evident in the way they worked together to get in just the right positions for the perfect silhouettes.
This session was particularly special because it wasn't for a commercial project for a tack company or a photography workshop model job. It was all about capturing personal, intimate moments between Autumn and her horse. Autumn has always been a joy to work with, and this time was no different. Her connection with Thor, coupled with the beautiful setting and the early morning light, made for some truly memorable images.
I'm always grateful for the opportunity to work with such wonderful clients and their amazing horses. This session with Autumn and Thor was a reminder of why I love what I do. The blend of natural beauty, personal connection, and artistic expression came together perfectly, resulting in photographs that both Autumn and I will cherish.
This session was a true collaboration between nature, horse, and human. It's always a pleasure to capture the special bond between a rider and their horse, and this frosty morning session was no exception. Thank you, Autumn, for trusting me once again to create these beautiful memories with Thor. I look forward to many more sessions in the future!
