BRING YOUR HORSE.
I grew up with a decent fear of horses after an incident in Eureka Springs, but now we just call it a healthy respect. 🤝
Horses make for incredible photos and I’ve come to love incorporating nature and any kind of Southern/Western culture into my work.
I grew up in an agriculture town same as Nikki, but while she had horses of her own I spent my time on skateboards and never really messed around on ranches or anything until I started with photography (except that one blurry memory I have of being thrown into wrestling and tagging a calf while at a friend’s relative’s house).
Inevitably, clients just kept including horses in their shoots and I just kept pretending everything was fine. Lol
But while Nikki and I were building the van and preparing for our first trip out, we stayed with our very kind good friends Ben and Ciara on their ranch and I got a lot more comfortable around horses (even rode one nbd, see the last photo) and so I gained a lot of respect for the animals and those who keep ‘em.
Then those friends connected us with newly engaged couple Lane and Jamie, whose photos you’re looking at now! And with my refreshed attitude towards horses, I was very stoked when they told me they wanted to bring theirs out to the pasture and we got to make some cool stuff.
And I really would like to work with more horses or create more images celebrating ranching or equestrian sports or other things like that, I’m all in now.
Just a reminder, these are the last few days to get 10% off your engagement shoot (or any type of other photo/video session), so message me with any questions or contact me to book before May 15th.
Thanks, see ya!
