Kerry and her horse Dave

We had fun photographing Kerry and her horse Dave. I started off with her with her horse getting some nice interaction between the two of them. But then she decided to ride him bareback and wow, she really came alive, her whole demeanor, body language and facial expressions changed and any stress that she felt at being in front of the camera just melted away! I took the close up "portraits" at the beginning of the session while Tom captured her and Dave "in action" -- check out the motion blur as he panned -- Whoa!

I applied some cool artistic effects to some of the images and the first one and the last one are among my favorites.
