Today was an exciting day, I got to spend some time with an old friend of mine today, Josh Wack. Josh contacted me a few days ago interested in getting some photos taken of his new girlfriend Amellisha and her beautiful baby girl Keedyn. I was nervous because I had never met Amellisha before, but also I had never really done a children shoot before. Well it couldn't have gone better, we got some great pictures. Keedyn gave us amazing smiles when she heard the word SUCKER! We took some photos in a park near Josh's house and then moved to Bankhead School to play with the railroad tracks. All in all it was a very fun day, and I truly enjoyed meeting Amell
Today I had a fun shoot with Clea Sackville from Ohara Equestrian Center. When I arrived at the barn it was already 25 degrees out, so we were both ready to get out, take some photos and get back so we wouldn't have to be in the sun to long. Right off the bat we headed through the riding club and into the back of Mission Creek Farms. We got some beautiful shots of Clea and Phoenix in the big meadow and then moved over towards Mission Creek. The mosquito's were awful, but we braved them for some awesome shots! I truly enjoyed working with Clea and her big chestnut because Phoenix reminds me so much of my old horse Beamer whom I miss everyday! Looking forward to getting some jumping shots tomorrow during Clea's lesson. So check back for more photos tomorrow afternoon!
Marisa What an incredible day! I worked with Kate Mincey, one of my oldest friends, who is like a sister to me. We planned a day of photos scheduled around her boyfriend who unfortunately had worked until the wee hours of the morning. Since he was so tired, we started with photos of Kate and her very first horse, Honey. The wonderful part about photographing Honey is that she was the first horse I rode when I started riding with Kate's mom, Tracey Avery. Her golden Palomino colour was outstanding against the beautiful hay field background. The photos of Kate and Honey turned out even better than I could have ever hoped. Next, we moved over to a pond near Kate's house where Dude, another horse was hanging out. We took some photos by the pond and under some willow trees to get a feel of the area. Ryan met us there with their new German Shepherd Rottweiler Cross puppy, Sika. We continued to play near the pond in Dude's paddock before taking a very tired Sika back to the house to play in the field. After an amazing shoot of Kate and Ryan in the front field of her house, we let Ryan enjoy some photos with his new motorcycle. The day was amazing - it was so much fun to spend time with Kate and Ryan capturing some very funny moments and having a couple laughs.
Love you Miss Kate! Thanks again, Ryan, for waking up to have some fun with us! Marisa Well today our Facebook account and Twitter account became live! its been a big day, lots of great photos taken with Wayne Dorman from Dogzies in the lovely Okanagan.
