Foal season brings nothing but joy to the Fast Horse Photography world and it means the world to me to get to spend time with these sweet new babies after they are welcomed to the world. Sometimes they are bouncing around kicking and bucking full of attitude and other times they are super snoozy woozy. Ollie was a little of both! My favorite moments were sitting a small distance away… watching him sleep and flip his little tail back and forth on the ground. Once he was awake he wanted to play with mom… who was as cool as a cucumber letting baby Ollie frolic around her as she grazed. New foal photography sessions are such a fun way to remember these precious early days of a new colt or filly’s life.

A Black and White Collection of Images from the 2020 Foaling Season

New foals are hitting the ground all over NE Florida and I’ve had the pleasure to photograph several of them in their early days of life. The 2020 foaling season has left many expecting horse owners, with sleepless nights as they worry over the safe arrival of new colts and fillies to their stables.

Capturing the First Week of a New Foals Life

Meet baby Clay. Clay is a sweet little colt born earlier this month and yep, that’s milk on his face. Cute right?! I was contacted by the great folks over at Dream Catcher Stables here in St. Augustine, Florida, within hours of little Clay’s arrival from womb to the pasture. They wanted to have his early days photographed by an equine photographer with the hopes of adding his image to their collection of stable art found in the aisle of their barn.
