McCracken Family

Merry Christmas and Happy New Year! I have missed blogging my last few fall sessions, but now with the busy fall season over and the holidays here I have a little more time on my hands and I'll able to share a bit more often :)
Starting with a fun photoshoot with the McCracken Family! I had the pleasure of capturing some family memories for them doing some Christmas activities, and although the weather wasn't very wintery and felt more like spring then Christmas, it allowed us to get a couple family portraits outside! Here are a few of my favorites

Paul and Melissa Engaged

We could not have asked for a more perfect night last Friday for an engagement shoot, a shoot that we had to reschedule twice because of rain. I have worked with Melissa a couple times before for Equine Shoots and was excited to hear from her about her Engagement! She had requested that we do the engagement shoot at Mt Nemo conservation area near Burlington since this is the where Paul and Melissa had their first date, and got engaged. A special spot for the two of them, and it was perfect! We had the entire place to ourselves, there were no bugs at all on a beautiful warm night and we had a gorgeous sunset. What more could we ask?!

Paul and Melissa's wedding is in January, it will be my first winter wedding and I'm so excited about it!! I love winter and have been hoping for a winter wedding to come along! :)
Congratulations Paul and Melissa and I can't wait to capture your special day!!

Winter Equine Photo Shoot!

When Melissa contacted me about doing some Equine Photos for her, I was immediately excited! We decided we would make it a 4 season project! So last weekend, before all this snow that we got this week, I had the pleasure of working with Melissa to do our Winter Photoshoot. Brant County where we did the photos at didn't really have snow, not as much as I had hoped for anyways, and it wasn't snowing at the time of our shoot which would have been neat, but we did manage to get some great shots! And we both had so much fun meeting all the horses at Simone's.
I want to Thank Simone from Vintage Lane Farm for the use of her BEAUTIFUL farm and horses, as well as the owners of all the great horses that we were able to photograph!! We were able to photograph here for our Summer Session as well and I just love this place!
Melissa is a Facilitated Equine Experiential Learning (FEEL) Instructor and you can learn more about what she does and see more photos from our other shoots at her website: http://www.tailsofwisdom.com/


I used to have a horse that had a forelock like this Halflinger below, Love it :)


I loved both of these two in the below photo a lot! The miniature is absolutely adorable!! and apparently plays with the halflinger a lot too... see next photo!






I think my favorite from the day is right here:





I just have to say about the photo below, I LOVE the color of the horse on the left. All of the horses are so beautiful, but the colour of this horse is one that I have not seen before, and although you can't see all of the horse or the mane here, this horse's colour is stunning!






THANK YOU Melissa and Simone for the awesome day!!
