What do you get a Mom who has everything on Mother’s Day? Well when you’re a photographer that is a pretty easy question to answer. For my mom (who is also the grandmother to my kids) its easy. I either can give her photos of her grandkids, or photos of her “kids” – aka her horses. My family owns and operates Rainier Friesians Farm nested in a small valley in Enumclaw, Washington surrounded by the Foothills and Mt. Rainer. They breed, sell and show these majestic animals. This spring they welcomes three new babies. So naturally when it came time for me to get my mom a mother’s day gift – I just went over with my camera and did some shooting. This was my second time ever filming horses. I gained a little more confidence this time and spent most of the time shooting on my stomach as the horse ran towards me. It was certainly heart raising to see 6 animals race and pounce towards me – then around me, as I clicked my camera. Here are a few of my favorite from the session.
