A high school senior biker

Dictionary.com's definition of biker is "a person who rides a bicycle, motorcycle, or motorbike, especially in competition or as a hobby." That's Mark!  He loves to ride his bicycle in the country! Some surprise visitors showed up which added some variety to the session and you can see them along with his bicycle portraits below!  Enjoy!

Austin's Pet Session

Meet Madison Elaine--Maddie for short and her pup Gracie!  They took their sweet ol' time getting to their portrait session with Austin.  Austin loves his dogs as you will be able to tell in his favorites below.  The last image is of Austin with their three steers who weren't very interested in getting their portraits taken.  Enjoy!

Their last and only professional portrait!

It's the final day that our four cattle are with us at the Smith Ranch before going to the sale barn.  It's a beautiful sunny September morning and a perfect day for outside portraits.  I grabbed my wide-angle lens and camera and headed out to the corral to have some fun.  The cattle have no clue that they are probably getting their last and only professional portrait!  They think I'm bringing them a treat.  They get very close to me with cute expressions on their face.  I have included my favorites from their session for you to get a good laugh!  Enjoy!!!

Friday Night at The Smith Ranch

It was nice to enjoy sunny blue skies after several rainy days (that were very much needed)!  I couldn't let it pass without going out and capturing some moments on the ranch.  I have included some comments with each photo taken below....

Here are our cattle taking a stroll down our driveway! :)  Seriously, I am on the bed of a pickup truck with a bucket of range cubes bribing them to get back into the pasture.

 Ol' Red is the shyest of the bunch.  He's the only one we aren't able to feed from our hands.

 I don't know why I enjoy taking photos of backsides but I think this one is kinda cute!

 Mr. Steer is having a "hay day" munching on some brohm hay.

 You wonder what is going on in these two steers' heads.... :)

In the morning and late evening are the best times to get reflections from the water.  It was pretty dark when this was taken and the colors weren't so great so I converted to sepia.

I saved this shot for last for those that might get creeped out!  This spider was my first shot of the day.  I was trying to get a backlist shot of this spider on my living room window while my husband was keeping it still.
