Mini Horses Dream come True ad shoot.I have to say, finding out about these 2 cute mini horses was completely awesome. As Jolie (my photographer friend and studio mate) and I started thinking about doing a session with these fun little horses, we knew that we could not just do these as sessions for the public, we had to do them with out kids as well! They would love it and we would love having these fun images as well to hang on our own walls. It was something that we would love to have.
So, we quickly booked our 2 hours with the horses, and plan to play with the horses, check out the location, you know, a quick run through so see how these sessions would work. Sweet success for the most part. Some props couldn't be used due to the wind but it all worked out well otherwise.
This session will literally take me a few weeks to go through and edit, but I wanted to share some of the awesome shots I took of the kids.
This is my daughter, Miss Mae. She really really loved these guys and now I am stuck in a constant battle as to why we can have mini horses in the backyard. She sure is trying though.
Then we have my super sweet niece Addie. She is my horse girl! She has been begging me to do a shoot with her and her horse for a while now. Mom says, her horse isn't really trained right now. So, we hoped this would suffice. HA HA! Not even close, but she did have a lot of fun with the mini horses.
I asked Sunny to come to model for the Ad. This girl has the longest hair! (When it isn't in curls- past-her-bottom long!) Sunny is such a hoot and really knows how to ignore a camera and just go with it, amazing for a 6 year old. Sunny is also fearless! I was walking her on the horse, bare back, no reins and she says, LET GO! She was ready to take that horse for a ride. So after they got the lead rope tied for her to hold on to. Away she went. (lots of adult supervision! I promise! The last thing we want to happen is someone getting hurt.)
Jolie's little girl, Miss Ashlyn. She is still talking about how much fun she had with the little horses! She just loved them!!! Her little Paisley wasn't quite sure what to make of them. So we didn't get a lot of her with the horses.
Then we have Stormy. Stormy is on of Miss Mae's closest friends. We brought her along to play with mini horses as well. Does anyone see the pattern with pre-teens and teenagers and how they don't do much without their friends?! lol! We loved having Stormy along though!
Addie Ray- Idaho Falls Child Photography
Let me introduce you to Addie. Addie is a one of a kind squish monster. Oh and I am her favorite aunt (at least when she is telling me who her favorite is.. I am sure when she talks to Aunt Brianna or Aunt Genice or even Aunt Candy, they are her favorites as well, but I relish is being her favorite when she is with me.) Addie has been the subject of many model sessions and mini sessions, but this time Addie owned that camera. Signs that Little Miss Ray of Sunshine is growing up on us! Now this is where Addie manages her Aunt Jen... "Jen, when are we going to do a session with me and my horse? When are we going to do this with me and when are we going to do that with me? I have an idea for a session...." Yep, my little model in the making, but she is getting so good at it. So this summer, her and my daughter have me lined up for some fun and guess what... I don't mind at all!
This is the first session we even did a straight face with Addie. She has the cutest smile you have ever seen. When I showed her the image with her not smiling, she say "Wow, I do look really grown up!" She was so excited. Then her mom's boss made the comment along the lines of "You are going to be in so much trouble when that one reaches 15."
Now this is just a few of MY favorites from her session. I sure do love my Addie Ray! Thanks for coming in and playing Squish! I am glad you like your pictures. Just remember, we have many more to do!
Shar- Senior Session Class of 2014I just love working with seniors and this lady is going places. Navy bound places! Shar was so much fun to work with. (And super bee-u-tiful as well!)
First time we set out to do Shar's shoot, it was a chilly windy yucky day. So, after a reschedule or two, we finally had a perfect day.
We would have been really scrambling with our sudden idea if it hadn't been for Grandma and the duct tape in the trunk. No, no, it isn't what it sounds like. She is a prepared lady (and we were able to stick the numbers to the wall. ;)
Ryley- Class of 2014
Ryley is one of those kids that goes to show, that hard work and dedication pays off. Some of you may have seen Ryley a time or two on my Facebook page. He has been awesome to work with being a model in many shoots here in the area. Not only is Ryley a handsome young man, he is smart and an all around good kid!
Ryley is going to school to become a doctor! The world needs more good doctors and I think he will be one of the best. His achievements thus far say so!
I am excited to see all the great places Ryley goes in life. (Which I will be keeping close tabs on with his Mom, since I have recently found out is my 2nd cousin! Yeah, it's a small world after all!) PS. Ryley is looking to take model jobs to help him with school. Hit the contact me tab to get in touch with this great kid!
Sarah- Class of 2014
When Mom called me to schedule Sarah's senior session, she warned me that Sarah wasn't the fondest of having her pictures done. She faced what every teenage girl faces- a lack of seeing how truly beautiful they are. So when we met at our meet up point and this stunning young lady stepped out of the car, well, I had to pick me jaw up off the ground. Tall, perfect features and gorgeous! We had lots of fun roaming around getting shots. I got sooo many amazing shots of Sarah, that it was hard narrowing down for their final gallery.
