Sometimes, you put a lot of time and planning into your session, and then the kiddos just aren’t on board. It happens, and that’s totally ok! I will never rush our time together, and if the kids don’t come around, we reschedule, because at the end of the day, a little extra patience is ok […]

This sweet family is another friend made through horses! Courtney and I boarded our horses together at the Fort Campbell Riding Stables, but I actually knew of her before we had even met.
