Natalie's Senior Photos

Natalie made my job of being a photographer extremely easy. We timed it perfectly between the rain storms and only got a few drops on us. We shot all the photos between 5:00 and 6:00 and the lighting was perfect. Nice and overcast with some great clouds. The horses even got in the action and hammed it up. I am delighted with the images. They show Natalie's natural beauty.

It rained! We have been in a drought for so long it has been great to see rain. Unfortunately I decided to take a detour on my way to work and get mired in the mud yesterday morning on a trail road cut across. It wouldn't have been much of a problem if I had our pickup, but I had our little Grand Am and I successfully buried it for 2 days. (My husband was not amused as he had to pull the car out. My nephew Matt was my saviour and came and rescued me and got me to work on time!) After our rain, the roads dried out and things are back to normal. My horses are much happier with some nice grass coming up. It is good to see the green!

Today, I am sending out the photographs ordered from the Be Line Ranch Roping held on April 14th and 15th in Ft. Collins. We had 2 beautiful days of weather with only a little wind. Pat and Valerie Hall are holding another Ranch Roping and Trail Event competition in October. I would encourage everyone to come. I enjoyed those 2 days immensly. Check out BeQuick Horseshoeing website for more information on that event. Their trail event was tough and great fun to watch. They had some obstacles that really challenge horses to trust their riders.

I especially love several of the photos that were taken at the Be Line event. I am going to be putting together a calendar and those that ordered photos will be seeing a release form included. That form is permission for me to use your photos for this event. The picture to the right was a crowd favorite. This is Marshall Streeter's horse. What a handsome dude.

On another note, I talked with Rich & Shannon Scott (Visions of Unity Horsemanship) this morning and they will be holding a Horsemanship Clinic on May 6th at Be Line Equestrian Center. Craig Cameron called them recently to invite them to ride in his Extreme Cowboy Race in Vail, Colorado in June for the Horse Expo. Congratulations! I wish I could be there. I hope to see them on TV!
