Best friends!

I want to thank Katie Taylor for allowing me to share some of her special images.

I am a dog lover and understand the connection of humans and their animals.  However, there is something really special in the relationship of a human and a horse. I was privileged to photograph this lovely lady and her horse, Phoenix as a surprise to her hubby for their anniversary. We met at Gables Run where she keeps her horse - and it was a perfect day. You can see in the images the connection Katie has with her horse.

 I love this image - the way Katie's dress falls, how she leans on her horse's neck - and his ears are perfect! Sometimes you can have a great images and the ears are back, not alert and forward. 

Beth Anderson walked out to the pasture to assist in the session - and what a great help she was.  Photographing horses can be challenging - and full of surprises.  I have had horses in the past chase me around the corral - trying to show me who was boss!  Not so with Phoenix, he had the best temperament - so gentle.  A tribute to Katie.

 
And his owner, Katie - a mother of three children - just look at her!  So beautiful - and just as beautiful on the inside. I had such a good time with her.
