Sarah and Kyle .... and Pepi

Two weekends ago, I had the pleasure of doing some unique senior portraits for these two. We split it up into two sessions, doing the majority of Sarah's pictures on Sunday during one of her horseriding competitions. She's quite impressive with Pepi, and it's clear the two have a special bond. She also shares a special bond with her boyfriend Kyle (NOT her brother ... Stay up 20 hours working night shift, go to shoot, open mouth, insert foot), who had his shots somewhere in the woods of Indian Hill. Honestly, they led me out into the middle of nowhere and I did fear just a bit for my life, but it was well worth it!

Such the gentleman, Kyle offers to carry Sarah back to the car at then end of the shoot.

They're just too cute together!

The weather was actually perfect for this shoot. As you can see by the mist, it was quite cold, but nobody got a red nose and the colors and lighting were just beautiful!

You can actually see Kyle in the bokeh at the bottom of the hill. It's a pretty shear dropoff behind Sarah, but Kyle made the descent look easy ... never mind the dirt and burrs he ended up covered in.

There's that cold again ...

One of the other girls at the competition. This girl actually had an amazing day and wound up upsetting Sarah for the season title ... but we don't talk about that. She's coming in here to plant the baton in the bucket at the end of her run.

A bonus shot of Pepi. He was thirsty.

Such a curious horse...
