I previous shared some photos from Katie’s session on Facebook, but thought I’d add those, along with some additional from my blog. We had a huge storm blow in during our first session, so added a second session a little later in the fall. Hope you enjoy the photos!
A couple of these are not technically wildflowers as they are flowers I planted in my pot garden on the front porch, but thought you would enjoy them. Spring and summer are in the air and I hope you are loving this beautiful weather.

In February I traveled to Ohio to photograph the Maumee Bay Sleigh Festival. Who would have thought in a million years that there would not be snow on the ground at the beginning of February, but with this unusual winter weather we have had, that is exactly what happened. Despite the lack of snow, these folks proudly brought their beautiful antique sleighs to display, and those with buggies and carts brought their teams and enjoyed the warm weather. I had a great time and met a lot of wonderful people, so while I was disappointed that I wouldn’t be able to photograph sleighs and teams in the snow, I was glad I was there.
This is Buttons. He is just such a happy soul and seems to just love his job pulling this cart.
I couldn’t help myself and had to add some old fashioned Photoshop affects to some of these photos.
I loved this hat, and when I found out she made it herself, I was amazed.
I loved this mare. She was such a hard worker and had the most amazing trot.
This is an old fashioned heater to help keep your feet warm while traveling by sleigh in the cold winter weather.
These ladies were fantastic as you can see by their smiles, and their dog was loving every minute of his ride.

This fall I enjoyed photographing twin sisters, Brook and Bridget, together with their horses for the senior pictures. Unless I get lost on the way to the barn (unfortunately, it does sometimes happen), I am almost always early to a session because I like to look around and get some ideas in my head, as well as meet everyone, so we are not hurried and have a relaxed, fun session.
When I arrived for Brook and Bridget’s session, they were grabbing a quick bite to eat. There were curling irons plugged in in both the club room and the barn and assorted make-up bags strewn about. The horses, on the other hand were spotless, immaculately groomed and photo ready. Right then I knew these young ladies were true horsewomen.
They immediately put me at ease. They had such an easy, calm way about them, were so sweet, and I couldn’t see any sister rivelry between them at all. They wanted most of their photos together, and when I asked if each wanted some photos that were unique to them, they looked at each other and said no. If I had a sister, I would want to have the relationship with her that Brook and Bridget have with each other.
Here are a few photos from our session, which also included a couple of family photos.

Very cool!
I found these flowers on a weekend getaway I took in Northern Michigan. They look like little Ladyslipper Orchids to me.
