Christmas mini-session with Katie, Cortney, and a furry little one...

Three Sluiter Nation members, two loving lovebirds, lots of laughter and smiles, purple plastic sled, one not so pleased Louis, and a partridge in a pear tree.


My good friends were so easy to work with because they are so natural behind the camera. They have fun and they are loving and they have beautiful eyes and smiles. Even Louis, the furry family member. Okay, maybe not so much the smiles for him but those big ol blues? Well, see for yourself...


My very, very favorite....so warm and loving!

Winter Horse Session- Andrea and Frog

We snuck in one more horse shoot before the weather turned crazy slushy and snowy...oh wait, that already happened. So it is a good thing we did our shoot Sunday before the snowy, rainfest hit. Andrea and Frog were probably a bit chilly doing slow trots for action shots (yes I meant to rhyme...) but they were good sports about it....okay Frog, probably not so chilly but you get the idea....thank you Andrea for a great morning of horsing around! Hope you love your images because I think you look fabulous in them! It must be the lens, right....?!!

I am rather funny....


shooting horses and people has been an interesting and fun adventure I am thankful to have had. I appreciate everyone's patience and good spirits, especially the horses!
we will definitely be having another farm round-up in the early spring so don't worry if you missed out this year!
