Beautiful People

Photography is a recent venture for me - I've always loved to snap pictures in an attempt to capture whatever beauty and perfection I could, but they never seemed to quite stand up to reality. For my 24th birthday, my wonderful Morgan gave me the money to buy me a REAL camera - I'm working now with a fabulous Nikon D90... it's probably the best present I've ever gotten!!

And of course, since I've spent the last month hidden behind the rounded lens of a camera, I've had the pleasure of shooting pictures of whatever I felt was beautiful and perfect ... turns out I've got a lot of Morgan...

Here are some of my favorites.

Colora, Maryland

Colora, MD is home to some of my favorite things : Kilby Cream (yum!), Scrawny (my very first lesson horse), Booger (probably the best Equine model I've had to date) and lots of open space. And above all, Colora MD gave me Amanda Kilby, who I love with some pretty profound [platonic, of course] love.

Colora also gives me amazing sunsets full of spectacular color, glowing clouds and vibrant foliage.
Who could ask for anything more?

Full Moon rising over Kilby Cream - October 23, 2010

Scrawny is a hard horse to photograph - which is okay, because it makes it so much more satisfying to actually snap a great photo of him!

Booger, on the other hand, is a perfect model. He poses phenomenally and he photographs exceptionally well!

Amanda is a wonderful horsewoman - she is patient, humble, compassionate and generous... these are lucky horses.

Cue the perfect sunset, Colora MD, October 23, 2010

The pastures and cows of Kilby Cream. Lucky, lucky cows...

The Sunset quickly gave way to a glowing Full Moon.  It was a perfect night for the Kilby Cream Corn Maze.
