Muffet

I’m very happy to have been featured today on Skip Cohen University’s blog giving photographers ideas on how to ” give back ” to their community and abroad.
and… was very pleased when he told me ” I took a look at your sight and you have a lot to be proud of!” : ) That means a lot coming from such an amazing photographer and pillar in the photography community.

Today’s session was a lot of fun.  Cole is a recently graduated Sr. from Blue Valley West.  This is just one of the very many cool images captured today of him. Tomorrow I will photograph him with his horse at Saddle and Serloin Country Club.  Most of you know how I love horses so tomorrows session should be great!

I feel bad for all the people in Kansas City that were negatively affected by all of the snow that we had in Feb.  But here on the farm it was a lot of fun.  The first snow dropped about 14″ on us. It was just beautiful and not to cold.   It was the perfect snow to ride a horse in.  Not too slippery and deep enough that it was too much work for  the horse to act up – a good thing for my horses who had not been ridden much the last few months and were feeling spirited.

Because January and February are slow times for the studio I had time to take long walks with my dogs ride my horses and take some images just for myself.  Below are a few of the images – Some of these were taken with my iPhone and some were taken with my Nikon D3.

I was coming home one late afternoon right before Christmas  and saw all of these birds in a field a little way down the street.  I don’t think that I  have ever seen so many migrating birds in one place before.  Of course I had to run home grab my camera and try to capture a few images.
