Woah eyes!

I could not believe the gorgeous eyes on this family that I worked with this evening, and I just fell in love with all the personalities, too. With four siblings and one cousin, I got a work out tonight capturing moments with each child, and then making a few attempts at some group shots, too (which will require a lot more editing, so no previews of those tonight!)

Horse Vaulting!

A few weeks ago (I know, I'm very slow to post these!) I got the chance to go photograph a horse vaulting practice for two sisters. I had barely heard of the sport, but watching the practice made me realize that this is a beautiful, but very difficult, sport! The last time I personally went horseback riding was on a trail at a campground - and I was sore just from balancing myself for that ride.

Basically, the girls train to do gymnastics on the back of a horse, and the horses can get pretty fast. Part of the training was doing skills on a trampoline while teammates bounced around! Talk about stable muscle control!!!
