Pallavi’s Horse Portrait Session | Austin, Texas

Are you ready to gush over the love between a girl and a horse? This session is stunning, start to finish. It was extremely difficult to choose only a few images to include here.

Pallavi has been competing and loving Leo for the past year now. It’s easy to see why she fell in love with Leo. He has so much personality and love to give. Pallavi wanted to book a session to showcase their bond and time together in photos. I sincerely couldn’t have been more excited!

When you’re asked to be a part of a session that you can connect with on a personal level, that of course makes it extra special. Several years ago I used to compete and ride. It was some of the best years of my life and still to this day something I enjoy greatly. Being responsible for taking care of such an incredible animal and training to compete is a great thing to be involved in. It wasn’t hard to see that Pallavi has a lot of passion for horses and competing. Connecting with the horse you are riding is extremely important and these two were great together.

Leo was happy to pose for the camera, as long as he was bribed with his favorite treat… Peppermints. He’s such a social horse and just wanted to get to stand nearby all his girlfriends. Watching him fall asleep being so relaxed being face to face with Pallavi was probably my favorite moment. He was so content to have her hand on his face; as they stood there for a few photos, he started to close his eyes. Being a part of sweet moments like these are what makes me love my job that much more.

Getting to collaborate on ideas with Pallavi for this session was amazing. I loved all of her ideas! We were actually on the same page before even sharing our ideas with each other. By booking extra time with me she got to showcase so much variety in outfits, location and poses. Working with animals always takes a little extra time but it’s worth every second.

Pallavi, thank you for asking me to be a part of capturing these special memories for you to look back on and cherish for many years to come. Leo is such a beautiful soul. I’m so glad that you were able to have this year together. Getting to meet and work with you, Leo and your Mum was fantastic. I can’t wait to see what you continue to achieve in the coming years. I look forward to doing more sessions with you in the future!
