Bellies & Horses

Cortney has grown up around horses so when she asked me if Piston & April could be part of tonight’s shoot, I couldn’t say yes fast enough. I love incorporating animals or things that help tell the story of the people I’m shooting. Piston was such a great horse tonight; so patient and gentle. We…
