Addie and Cruze/ Peak Performance Horses/ St Augustine, Florida/ Photography For Horse People

I was beyond excited to meet with Addie and her mother, Khela to start the planning process for Addie’s horse photography session with her newly leased horse, Cruze. Addie and Cruze spend their days at Peak Performance Horses, so it was the perfect location for their photography session. On the day of the session, the weather was bleak looking. Very overcast, windy, with a chance of rain. Well rain it sure did! The rain didn’t stop Addie and Cruze from having fun and finishing their session together. Scroll through to spot the last image of the day, just as the rain started pouring down!

Earlier this year I photographed Rhylie with her family at Need More Land and Cattle Co. located in St. Johns, Florida.

Images from this session were used to create a mantle piece family portrait in a beautiful handmade frame and additional print products including the sweetest holiday card!

A few weeks after we completed their equine and equestrian portrait session we met to review their images and create their final product. This is always so much fun! We created a small three piece gallery wall grouping and an incredible framed portrait with the most stunning Farmhouse Frame! This frame is gorgeous and features dark brown, caramel and cream accents with a ton of texture! Made from weathered Oak and is sturdy and unique! This frame frequently arrives to my studio with featuring lichen…. which is absolutely stunning with these images!
