Foxy!

A couple of weeks ago I did a fun session with beautiful and incredibly talented ladies - my friend Sarah and her gorgeous mare "Foxy Cleopatra". We got lucky with gorgeous fall weather, and beautifully soft late afternoon light and managed to snap some great shots! Here are a few to share...

Now that is trust!

Look at that scenery! What a great location for a photo shoot!
Cleo was VERY interested in these pretty and apparently tasty flowers!

Fall Fair Fun!

This month I was very happy to be the official photographer for the Orono Fair. This annual horse show is a soft spot for me, as Orono was my hometown growing up, and this fair was my very first ever horse show. I remember that day so clearly - all the hard work and effort getting ready (my poor pony "Albert" stood in the cross ties for 5 HOURS the day before while I polished his coat right off!) and then the nerves and excitement of the big day. Possibly not the most glamourous of horse shows, but definitely a fun one!

These two ladies and their family were some of the nicest people I have met in a while! The lady leading the horse was part of the young riders team, and her sister who is pictured riding the mare was at her very first horse show, and boy was she excited! They shared the ride on that lovely mare and both did exceptionally well!

Look at this boy move!!!! Ok I will admit I am a little biased as that is my sister and her horse Vincent. This was her first horse show as a child as well, and we decided that it would be fitting to bring Vince here for his very first hunter show! He was such a little pro they took Reserve Champion for their division and he even won his hack class! (and the best part is that he is only 4!) Congrats Nat!

I don't think even the fairest of judges could resist this little face!




Another set of champions - aren't they a great looking pair?!
