Abigail & Rosie the Riveter / Portraits with Horses / Elkton, Florida

I can’t thank Abigail and her aunt Roxane enough for sharing their love of horses (and especially sweet Rosie) with me at a recent equine and equestrian portrait session! We met on a cloudy morning, with a small chance of rain, at a sweet little horse stable in Elkton, Florida. Just off the beaten path and perfect for a morning of photography. While we had a few must have shots on the list, we spent most of our time capturing moments of connection between Rosie and her favorite human, Abigail.

Be Inspired — Powderhorn Ranch Women’s Retreat with Equine Photographers Network

Have you ever traveled to the open spaces of Wyoming? Where the landscape is so vast, your brain can’t seem to soak it all in?

Taunting your cowgirl spirit.

A place that schools city folk on embracing their surroundings.

Where bluebird days are pretty much a guarantee. And the plains sit still offering peace and tranquility.

The land gives you the chance to enjoy the silence. Just listening to the wind. With the sun kissing your face. Making you envious of the western lifestyle. Where boots and chaps are a way of life.

A dusty face and windswept hair are a welcome sight. Well-worn gloves, a hat, and a broad smile reflect western culture and history.

The life of a cowgirl, handed down by the legendary pioneer women. Kept alive through generations of family, working homesteads like Powderhorn Ranch, 25 miles south of Douglas, Wyoming.

A life that isn’t for everybody. Only for the strong at heart, mind, and spirit.

St. Johns County Horse Council/ Schooling Show/ Hastings, Florida

Once or twice a year I head out to support my local horse council events through photography at the St. Johns County Horse Council event. I love these days! I love getting to wander around and say hello to fellow equestrians and catch up on all that they have been doing since we last saw each other. Since I don’t usually take bookings for this event I get to shoot the things that spark an interest to me and it’s a casual fun day filled with sunshine, laughter, horses, and usually a hotdog… I won’t lie, I usually end up getting chips too! Below are just a few of the images captured at the event. Too see more or to purchase an image you can head right over here.

Horses on the Beach Photography Event by Fast Horse Photography and Phyllis Burchett Photo

Do you love sunshine and ocean breezes?

Is it your heart’s desire to break out of your standard photography style and try something new and different? Or maybe learn a new technique or approach to add to your current portfolio?

Do you dream about photographing horses on the beach? The simple thought of the occasion makes you squeal with excitement...

Because the beach is quite possibly the most epic location of all to capture the collision of horse, rider, and scenery so profound, it takes your breath away.

Equine and Equestrian Portraits for Alaina and Lola

I so enjoyed photographing Alaina with her “step up” horse named Lola! Dream Catcher Stables is always a joy to visit and the horsey kids that make up their show team keep me laughing. Here are just a few of my favorites from their session. I had the opportunity to photograph several horse and human teams over the past few weeks at Dream Catcher Stables so check back to see more soon!
