Wall painting

A friend has some working dogs and wanted a painting on her wall of them. I did one previously that was just a black silhouette of her husband and her on horseback with  their dog in front of the entrance sign to their ranch. This one was a bit different with some colors added. Here is the initial wall that is blank. And the finished product.

I am still debating if I should have outlined the dogs in black or not. Oh well. In all it took me about 8-9 hours to complete from initial computer sketching of the original pictures to clean up.

Thanks Chandra and Robert!

Trent Raffelson

My wonderful nephew traveled from California for Thanksgiving and wanted me to do his senior portraits. I feel honored! I did his older brother Garrett’s pictures back in 2009. I told Trent that I had done pictures in the cold before, but nothing like it was that day. It was BRUTAL! Thankfully we did them close to the house and went out, snapped a few pictures and went back in to get warm again. Every time I started to see his nose and ears go red, we would head back in for a bit. We had a great time though and got some nice pictures. Thanks Trent. I can’t believe you are going to graduate. I remember when you were just a little bundle of boy. Now you are all grown up.

Can you tell how cold out it was? Trent was FREEZING in this shot. Brrrrr!

Lacie

Lacie contacted me and wanted pictures with her horse. I love senior pictures with horses. They are my favorite sessions. Stetson I have to say was a PERFECT horse model. He knew exactly when to have his ears up which is a wonderment in horse models. We scheduled an early morning shoot by the river in Sterling. While the weather was definitely fall with a chill, it was a nice day. Lacie braved the cold in her short sleeve shirts and we had to tell the wind to quiet down a few times.

Thanks Lacie and Stetson!
