It’s been long than I like to take for my blog postings, but with life, preparing to leave for vacation and then vacation (which I’m still on)…but I’m finally getting around to it. Of course, wouldn’t you know that now that I have the photos (LOTS of them!) ready…we lose cell and internet coverage where I’m staying…figures! Oh well, I’ll do what I can and just wait until all the elements fall into place to get it posted.
This family was a ton of fun and I thoroughly enjoyed meeting all of their animals and seeing their wonderful farm. Despite it being a hot day, it was great fun and we all seemed to survive the heat just fine…heck, if the animals live in that all the time, we “humans” can handle it for a couple of hours!
Besides the family, Steve, Sue and Sierra, a good friend of Sierra’s, Kaycee, joined us for the session that day…along with all of their animals, who you will meet in the photos to come.
Meet Steve…and Dixie, who is actually Sue’s palomino Morgan….waiting to get into the arena (which is amazing, by the way!) for a turn!
Kaycee and Sierra with their horses, Daisy and Seorise…such beautiful girls and horses…truly a delight to meet all of them!
Sierra and Seorise…trotting around the arena…a nice reprieve from the sun and heat that morning!
The girls (Sue included!) with their horses…I’m thinking that I need to figure out how to get the horses attention…my tricks for kids and dogs didn’t work!!
Kaycee and Daisy…what a great team they are…it’s truly a respect, both ways between these two!
Sue and Dixie…it was a delight to talk with Sue during our session…she’s just amazing…she is incredible with all the animals and boy, does she ever know her plants…I’m impressed!!
Kaycee…a beautiful girl, who obviously loves her horse and is very confident and I enjoyed watching with her horse and Sierra…it’s so refreshing to see young people who enjoy the simple and basic aspects of life…
Sierra – just 14 years old and such a beautiful young woman, very polite and sweet, yet still a great childlike zest for life…and that smile is gorgeous…such a delight to get to know her!
Sue with Max, the old, but goody white Arab, as she describes him…what a beautiful old horse…I can’t remember how old, but he was up there.
And, we finally get Steve with his horse, Rascal, who is a Paint horse….now, only if he would have ridden him…next time, Steve, I expect you to ride Rascal!
What an adorable pony, Chase, is quite striking with the blond mane and tale…what a sweet pony!
And, Patsy, is the other pony…and boy, did these two like to eat, they were thrilled to be by the grass and ate as much as they could while out for the photos!
Meet Amos…he’s so ugly (sorry Steve) that he’s cute…look at that face…and that nose…what character! Oh, and did I mention that he likes donuts?! They called him and said donuts…and he came right on out…it was pretty funny to watch!
Meet Connie and Boo Boo…a sheet and goat, who obviously get along well, maybe they don’t even know they aren’t the same type of animal!
And, the other goat…Tony Blue!
Another of Kaycee…LOVE her freckles…such a beautiful, natural girl……..
And, Sierra, SOOOO cute…I love her smile and beautiful sparkling eyes…this girl is just striking…and as nice as she is pretty…what more can a parent ask for!
LOVE this shot……..
Sierra with Logan, red merle Australian Shepherd…isn’t this a beautiful dog…of course, I’m partial to aussie’s….since I have one myself!!
And another aussie….Lucy…such a sweet and mellow dog…you would have never guessed she was a pup…oh, what a wonderful tempermant this dog has!
Steve and Sue with Lucy and Ali, a cute little Jack Russel Terrier…full of energy, but very loving!
I really enjoyed the time with Kaycee – such a pretty and thoughtful young woman…we need more young people like she and Sierra in that generation!
Ahh….I’m a sucker for such a sweet moment…mom and daughter…what a touching moment!
It’s obvious that Sierra and Kaycee are wonderful friends…to have such great friends in this day is a gift…
Family…what more can be said about a loving and close family unit…such an important part of our society!!
Okay, so Sierra is just 14 (not far from 15) and here’s her first truck…such an exciting time for a young person…and next year, I’m sure she’ll be driving it as much as she possibly can…you can see how it just “fits” her perfectly!
A girl, her horse, dog, Snowball (a dog that needs no explanation…) and truck…what more would she need?!?? Hmm, maybe a driver’s permit…but she still has enough to keep her busy!
The time I spent with this family was truly a joy…they are fun, outgoing, loving, hardworking and have a great sense of humor…it was a highlight of my weekend to visit their farm and be able to photograph them, their animals and their lives…thank you, Steve, Sue and Sierra!!
