SESSION RECAP
This session was located at MM Equestrian in Fountain, Colorado after a stormy June day. Days before the session the girls and I kept talking to see if we could shoot at golden hour. It was a ton of back and forth because it had been raining and cloudy for several days before the session. Of course, mother nature made sure it was a cloudy day, even though the weather app said sunny. Nevertheless, we continued on and we love how the photos turned out.
Colleen, Katie, and Lola all know each other from IEA (Interscholastic Equestrian Association) and ride at MM together. I actually know them from riding at MM and them coming to IHSA (Intercollegiate Horse Show Association) shows. When I first arrived at MM in 2017, I obviously didn't know anyone, but I quickly became close with all these girls; even though I'm older than all of them. Throughout the years I've had the pleasure of watching them grow into wonderful riders and transition from middle school all the way to college (wow I feel old writing that).
As I arrived at the session the girls were finishing getting the horses ready. Thankfully Lola brought her friend who later became my assistant to help with getting the horse's attention. However, you can't be mad at the horses because they are horses and they have a mind of their own. When we first started the girls didn't know what to do, but I guided them to relax and have fun. As seen in the photos, this session truly brought out all the laughs and smiles.
