Commissioned Equine Art

I just finished this portrait of Smokey for the sister of one of my past clients whose two jumpers are below. Being able to give animals owners something like this so they can always remember their most precious companions fills me with happiness. I have portraits of my childhood horse & dog that someone else was commissioned to do & I truly cherish them like I did those pets. Please excuse the “snapshot” of Smokey’s, I forgot to take a picture of it before framing it so have glare & reflections on the glass (& I was wearing red so see that reflected all over!)

Women & Horses

This is my dear friend, Cassandra, that has assisted me at many a wedding in San Diego. She is an avid Natural Horsewoman as you can see by her soft,open hands & great relationship with her horse, Jemmie.Cassandra is one of those people that is so beautiful, inside & out, & such a pleasure to be around & photograph. She needed a pic of her with her camera for her new website so you’ll see how perfect she looks holding a camera. She promises to visit & stay with us in Nashville & return the favor by taking pix of me with my horses……, ahem, Cassaaaandra, I’m waiting=)))))

Family session at Mt Woodson

Jen & Tim are one of my past weddings couples from San Diego. Would you look at the precious kids they have made since then, just adorable!!! Little June bug is at the age that it’s especially easy to get some great pix, she doesn’t walk on her own, so that strong independance isn’t installed yet. At least I think that’s the way it works=P

Soooooooo adorable!! Look at those eyes!One of my favorites, they are going to make a big one on canvas of this, which I think will be timeless. The fact that Jen & Tim are perfectly in stride is symbolic too=)

Family Portraits at the Park

Michele & Pete are one of my wedding couples from years past & this is the second time I’ve had the honor of taking family pix for them. I think the triplets were just one year old when we did the first shoot on the corner where you turn into Presidio Park. It was an odd place but the by the time we all gathered I wasn’t feeling the light on the top of the hill & it was beautiful on that corner. Amazing getting three little munchkins to cooperate, there just aren’t enough hands but we made it happen, this time & last. They are growing into the prettiest little girls, gotta love them all so much, we had a blast!!Skip, skip, skip to my lou….Monkeys????Well contained!Gramma & Grampa lent extra hands=)SSSSSSSSSOOOOOOOOOOOOO CUTE!!!!!

Family Fun in the Park

I’m so lucky to be able to go back to San Diego periodically & take family photos for some of my past brides & grooms. Emily & Marty’s family is another that I’ve gotten to see grow over the years since they had me take photos when their oldest daughter was the age of their newest addition. What a treat! I’ll never forget their beautiful wedding at Paradise PointSo precious!!!A lollipop can do wonders & get you some darn funny faces=)))))))

I just got back from a trip to the West Coast to see my sister & take pix for her & some of her friends, as well as give a little Natural Horsemanship instruction to them with their HUGE Warmbloods. What a perfect time we had escaping the Southern heat & enjoying the 70 degree weather & lots of horses!

Couldn’t resist this wooley beast the first day we drove to her stable… Looks like we surprised him!!!Kelly’s baby, Freja.Her boys, Dexter & Rufus, what a dufus he is too!!I always love seeing how mares & foals synchronize their stepsPerfect note to end on…

Haley & Jack – horse showing

Once again, here is my good friend’s daughter showing her perfect little POA (Pony of America), Jack. We started something cool last year, making books of her pictures so she will always have these memories in a neat, artistic place. I love this one of her going eye to eye with him, giving him the pep talk=)

Family Portraits- Nashville

The Patterson family came out for a family shoot in March & I realize in my usual lack of blogging forgot to post some of their beautiful images. We had fun playing out at the barn while we waited for everyone to arrive & even got some pix of my horse Sean doing his begging/mauling for treats from Juanita & Mark.

You may remember little Haley from a shoot awhile back, she is now 10 & blossoming into such a beautiful rider with her POA, Jack. They recently competed in a large local show & walked away with High-point for her age group. Congratulations, Haley!!! You are such the little model & I love taking pix for you & documenting your favorite things, horses & dance=)

SOOOO serious!!Perfect Pony, Jack!
