Oh my goodness!! I think it is safe to say this girl is living her dreams! Just wait until you see her interests and where she spends so much of her time! Not only does she have the privilege of working with great animals, she also has an amazing place in which to enjoy them!
About a year out from having Senior picture taken, J’s family talked about getting on my schedule. With her pending session in mind, I began to write down ideas as they came to me. It was super exciting to finally have the day of her session roll around so we could begin putting all those ideas into action. Quite honestly, while we captured A LOT for J, we ran out of time for all of our ideas. 🙁 Guess that is better than running out of ideas though. 🙂
We started off at the local FFA sign – isn’t it cool!?
It was very warm out the day of J Session so we did not have her spend a lot of time in the FFA jacket! We hopped into our vehicles with a great appreciation for the AC and headed for her house. After she changed clothes, we started taking pictures near some trees on their property – I call them cigar trees since they have the long seed pods hanging down! 🙂
We spent a little time down by the barn to capture these pictures with one of her horses.
Adjacent to their barn is an indoor riding arena…the perfect place for a few backlit shots near the large doors. I just love the haze created from all the dirt being stirred up!
Since J has also worked long and hard with her heifer we pulled her in a for a few shots too. 🙂
It was still rather warm outside, so we headed back to their house where J could freshen up and change clothes. While she was cooling down and changing you should have seen all the work her family was doing! In fact, they did so much in preparation for J’ssession! All they accomplished was greatly appreciated – it truly was a family event!!! Thanks to each one of you – T, L, S, S – you all rock!!!!
It was now time to devote some attention to capturing J with her favorite guy, Superman! 🙂 They make a great pair!
This is one of the many things J’s family set up for her session: mowed lawn, trailer hooked up, truck and trailer positioned just so, animals groomed and tied to the trailer…waiting…all we needed was J! 🙂
Her two favorite rides:
A representation of time spent on the dance team.
A few pictures taken around the outdoor riding arena.
I am so happy J and her family live in a place where they can thoroughly enjoy the things that are special to them!
J, thanks for entrusting me with your Senior memories! I loved getting to work with you again!
