A Beautiful Girl, A Palomino Horse and A Golden Sunset


As a little kid, Carley spent lots of time at our arena with her mom. When asked to take her senior photos, I was over the moon. We set the photo shoot date hoping to catch the most brilliant of the fall colors and cool fall weather. The Missouri weather complied with our wishes and the trees were every shade of gold, orange and red.

We had some plans going into this special senior session, some family pictures with her mom, pictures with her sweet boyfriend, and LOTS of horse pictures. We found a nice place in their woods to take individual and family pictures. The light through the trees was so pretty. After that we took her horse, Willa, out to their gravel road to get close up shots of the two of them. Then we found a spot shaded by a giant oak tree to take some beautiful full body shots. Finally, we spent a LOT of time in their arena when the sun was in the perfect spot to catch the golden sunset.

Carley's sweet personality comes through in her photos. She is an accomplished barrel racer and an excellent horsewoman. Next year she will be attending Fort Scott Community College as a member of the rodeo team.

I can't wait to see what her future holds!
