Best friends…
Friends come in all size and shapes. This beautiful young lady shares a very special friendship with Denny, her favorite horse. Mom wanted me to come out and create some portraits of her at their new home. (We make house calls!) I had a great time photographing her near the water in her back yard with Canadian Geese posing perfectly for us. After we had worked for a little while she asked if we could do a few images with Denny. When we drove up to the farm where Denny resides - I knew this was going to be loads of fun. The light was perfect and the day was beautiful. When Denny saw her it was electric. The special bond these two shared was amazing. Before we left her house to head for the stables I looked around her home to scope out some great portrait spots. In her room I saw this beautiful antique chair. We brought it along - never imagining that the color of the chair, the barn, the horse and the evening light would blend so well. As you will see in these images we had a great evening capturing the loving interaction between these two.
These three are my favorite images from the session. I love how they capture the relationship and the beauty of that evening.

Happy Birthday Blog! When I launched this blog last year I had no idea how popular it would become. Thanks to you in just one short year my blog has become one of the most widely read photography blogs in the world! Is the internet amazing or what? I really appreciate all of your comments and suggestions. Yes I know many of you are addicted and I promise to make next year's entries even more touching and exciting. Hope to see all of you in the studio SOON!

Lori,
I was truly moved to tears. Tears of sheer joy at the love you captured on film. Thank you for your expertise in freezing such a multi-leveled emotion as love in picture.
