Equestrian Adventures | Bailey's Senior Portraits

Here's Bailey! Bailey was one of my senior models from the class of 2018. She completed a studio session in the spring and returned several months later in August for her on-location portraits. As you may have guessed from the title, she and I took her horse out for some adventure to capture Bailey in her element. We walked around Dusty Dog Farm, where she boards her horse. She hopped on bareback for a few shots and I led her through the pastures as I photographed them together. Afterward, we utilized the barn environment to get some senior portraits of Bailey in her home state. I particularly like the shot of her next to the sunflowers, and the wide shot of her leading her horse through the barn. I am a huge animal lover and spend time on the trails with my bike and dog. I've mentioned in previous blog posts how much I enjoy it when my clients include their animal companions in their portrait sessions. I find that animals bring out an unexpected and gentle angle in portraits. As we get older, we may forget our latest interests at the time of the session, but our beloved animal companions stick with us for a lifetime. 

Senior portrait season is in full effect. I am now booking for the class of 2019 and would love to capture you in your element. Bring your sports equipment, favorite book or perhaps you're like Bailey and want to include your horse! Let's discuss your dream portrait session and then make it happen. I look forward to working with you.
