Liz + Swayze. A girl and her horse.

You may remember the post of Liz's lakeside wedding from earlier this year. Well, she has a new man in her life now and I couldn't wait to photograph them together. But don't worry, she's still married to Travis :)

Meet Swayze. He is strong, tall, and handsome ... and wears nice white socks ;) I've never photographed a horse before so I was a little nervous at first, but Swayze is very calm and well behaved. Plus, we had lots of treats on hand for bribery.







Liz really loves Swayze. They just entered a horse show and Swayze did awesome! I know she's really proud :)











One of my favorites :













I love this series of Swayze. I think he's laughing at us.











Check out the beautiful light in this field!









Gorgeous! This seriously needs to be a large print somewhere.





Isn't Liz gorgeous? I love her eyes in this photo.





This one cracks me up every time!





We finished the session right as the sun set and Swayze was getting tired of being in front of the camera. Thanks for a great shoot, Liz!

Gabby's "Just Because" session

I am so pumped right now. Today is the first wedding of the season for me and starts a long string of booked up weekends. It's exciting and scary at the same time... but mostly exciting. It has been so amazing to see my business grow and I can't wait to photograph all my 2010 clients!

Now, this cute little thing is Gabby. We go to church together and have become good friends over the past semester. Alaina (my 2nd shooter and sister) and I took her out Friday afternoon for a shoot... "just because". The weather was so weird during our shoot and ended up pouring rain right before we got to the car. Thanks for being such a trooper and a beautiful model, Gabby!





This is one of the first images Alaina shot. I love it!



I told Gabby to wear a dress or skirt for the shoot. She picked the perfect outfit! I love how the purple stands out in all the photos.















I just love all the vines coming off this tree.







Gabby's freckles are the best! I love the summer when all my freckles come out :)

















I think we had Gabby spin around a little too much. She was pretty dizzy at the end of this little series.





I love this angle that Alaina shot. Gabby looks totally comfy laying in the grass, even though it was full of little sticks and poky plants!









I want to print this on a big canvas and hang it up in my house somewhere.
