(Oh and PS, the Christmas Card Templates are up too.)

With the holidays quickly approaching I want to showcase a gift idea that can be ordered from my site.

These are my antique gold key chains offer. I took some photos of a clients to show how nice they are. They are large and made of solid metal. Unlike plastic photo key chains, these are more like jewelry and meant to last through a lot of daily wear and tear.

By simply running a piece of ribbon through the top, they make lovely ornaments.

I recently added many more photo gift products such as puzzles, coffee mugs, postage stamps and gift certificates. Keep me in mind as you do your holiday shopping. Everyone loves pictures!

Thanks!

The farm was a perfect setting for my session with this beautiful little girl. She was on a serious mission to explore every corner. I thought we would never get her out of the cornfield! I had to stay on my toes just to keep up with her and catch her looking up. It was more than worth it, I was quite charmed by her independent spirit and her brilliant blue eyes.

I really enjoy the ones with her thoughtful glaze but I also caught some with her lighter side. She saved her biggest smiles for the animals. Greeting each of God’s Creatures great and small with delight, from toads to horses!

It is always wonderful when a session’s location matches a subject’s personality so well. It’s part of the beauty and fun of natural light photography.

Since I love taking pictures of kids and I love taking pictures of horses, I really love it when I get my two favorite subjects to together. Warning-these are painfully cute!

These are a great example of what to expect during what I call a "Farm Call" Equine Photography Session. I like to get a good mix of classic confirmation poses, and poses with unique angles and lighting. Doesn't he look fun to ride???

I can’t have one of every type of horse I’d like to own, I barely have time to take care of the two I have. So one of the reasons I love photographing horses so much is because it’s my way of collecting horses. While I certainly can't fill a barn, I’m filing my website with as many breeds and disciplines as I can. It feels very much the same as the way my sister and I used to add toy Breyer models to our shelves in our bedroom growing up.

It’s a wide and wonderful world when it comes to horses and when I’m holding my camera I enjoy the challenge of the getting those little breed/discipline details right. It’s what separates great from good in the horse world.

That is why I was so excited last month to have the opportunity to photograph some very different horses within one week.

On Wednesday I met Frankie, a 19 hand+ Belgian Gelding. Wow what a star! He completely charmed me. More than just a gentle giant, Frankie has a playful personally and I was impressed with his grace and movement under saddle. I did something I have never done before; I handed my camera to my client and asked to be photographed with him!

Three days later I was privileged to photograph the Indiana Miniature Equine Club's Futurity show in Greenfield. http://indianaminiatureequinecl.homestead.com/index.html Talk about a 360! Not only did the minis look extra tiny compared to Frankie, but because it was a futurity there were plenty of babies! They were super cute! I once again asked a client to photograph me with her horse. One of the tiniest guys there named Louki. He stole my heart too. He is named after the Norse god of mischief and he looks like a very little version of my mare Callie.
