day at Bridge Acres Stable

I had a blast at Bridge Acres Stable this weekend..with ten sessions over three days.

My oldest daughter started riding there when she was eight, and we had two horses during our years at BA--Little Bit and Red.

Two weekends ago I got to reconnect with some old friends and meet some of the new riders.

Paige and Max

Kara and Megabux....Susannah learned to ride on Mega...wonder how old he is now? Bet he can still escape from his stall and jump a fence!

Beth and I had lessons together quite a few years ago...now she owns this thoroughbred,

 Perfect Gentleman

Here's Brooke and Macho

And Ashley and Jackson...who at four was totally not phased by us climbing around this old fireplace

in the back field!

Katie and Frosty...love a litte grey pony!

Horses=Love. That's what it's all about. Maddy and Abner

Charlotte an Catie

Morgan and Rudy..aww! so cute!

Gorgeous!

Marilyn and Ripley..best of friends

Massachusetts Equestrians, part 2

I finished up my session in Massachusetts with Leah and her horse Iron Falcon for their senior session at their boarding barn in Middleboro. We had a gorgeous spring morning and the woods surrounding the farm were the perfect backdrop...add the knock-out black long dress Leah wore and I totally got the Lothlorien look I was going for!

Contact me to schedule your senior session with your horse or pony...I am also available for group sessions at your barn

on the road and on location in Massachusetts

Memorial Day weekend saw me on the road to Massachusetts for some special sessions. I grew up in Scituate, MA, in a lovely seaside town with a harbor and a lighthouse that was just right down the street from my house. I had a wonderful time meeting several old friends from high school and meeting their daughters...having a gorgeous photo session in the golden afternoon light... as well as meeting some new friends at Balmy Acres Stable in Middleboro for an all-day session with families, adults, kids, horses, dogs, a bull and even a pet turkey! We were all brought together again through Facebook in a cool way...

What I most remember about Ellen back in high school was that she was always laughing! And that hadn't changed one bit

 And..we have another thing in common as she has also adopted two girls from China!

Tess and Claire are a "virtual twins" at age 7...but adopted some 4 years apart.

Carly and I hiked way out to the end of the jetty for these shots....I couldn't remember actually doing this 30 years ago let alone climbing over the rocks wearing Birkenstocks and carrying a large camera bag! The photos were totally worth it...

I love this candid moment between Carly and her mom, Beth

I had such a blast shooting at Balmy Acres Stable on Saturday...what a beautiful farm! Gorgeous deep green ferns in the forest and tall meadow grass with wildflowers...made for amazing settings for the horses (and dogs, and turkey!)

 This is Angela, the owner, and her family...with their pet turkey who just had to get into the shot!

 Karen and her family, with Spyder, the horse who could even bow on command

 One of my favorite shots of the day..Miss Grey...

Maria has two horses as well as these three dogs!

 Alyson and her blue-eyed mare Cameo

Rita and Zip...you can just feel the bond between them here, can't you?

 Sheila and Reba

and mighty dog, Max. I love this photo--he is definitely smiling for the camera!

Contact me for details on booking a day event at your barn, beach or other location--I am available to travel to many destinations!

Light

Christmas Eve was a cloudy, dreary day to start with, but in late afternoon as I was preparing our dinner, the sun popped out giving us this beautiful light. I grabbed the camera and ran outside without shoes or a coat to capture the neighbor's trees, lit against a dramatic sky.

These photos are available for purchase, as prints or canvas. Email for details.

Art Prints

Photographs make beautiful gifts. I have a selection of art prints available for purchase on my website in a variety of sizes. Framing is also available at time of purchase. Once you select a photo, you can see it in a variety of frame styles, choose a mat color, and they arrive ready to hang. Here are just a few examples  (watermark will not be present on final print):

Hannah's senior shoot

Of course Hannah had to have her senior photos with her best friend, Charlie! Charlie lives at Hollyhurst Farm with my daughter's horse Tucker (but I am not sure that they are friends!) Hannah plans to go to college in Philadelphia so as not to be too far from Charlie in the fall. Best of luck to both of you!
