Melissa and Vego/ Horse and Human Bond/ Knights Equestrian/ Hastings, FL

I met Melissa and the horse she spends her time with, Vega, through her friend Stephanie when they decided to have an “equestrian friends” photography session together. Seriously, how amazing is that and why aren’t more horse friends doing it? Kira with Onsite Muse came out to the barn to do everyone’s hair and makeup and while I was waiting to start the session I kept smiling at all the laughter coming from them as they talked about their favorite times together spent with horses! We did a combination of green space images and black background portraits and Melissa did a couple of wardrobe changes to to fit the mood of the day. I hope they always remember this day and the laughter when they look at the wall art we created together.

Rhylie and Brownie/ Need More Land and Cattle Co./ St. Johns, FL/ Equestrian Portrait Specialist

Earlier this year I photographed Rhylie with her family at Need More Land and Cattle Co. located in St. Johns, Florida. A full equestrian family portrait was one of our goals for this session and we nailed it by including Rhylie’s mom, Joni and her brother, Marek and of course horse, Brownie and her two dogs, Rocko and Rollo. 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!

Alicia and Regatta/ Cattail Creek Farm/ St. Augustine, FL/ Celebrating the Horse and Human Bond

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!

What Are You Waiting For?

We don’t know when things will change. But, one thing is for dang sure… WE NEED JOY! Bountiful joy and hope to carry us through life’s struggles. We need to surround ourselves with experiences that encourage our hearts.

REMEMBER

We must REMEMBER the men, women, and children who died that day. The first responders who gave up their lives to save the lives of others. The HEROS, young and old, who tirelessly rescued people from the destruction.
